Third Rome

pan meaning “all” + theios meaning “of or for the gods.” Each was built using one of the classical orders of architecture and a well-known structure of their time. According to resources given, both were not the original structures; each one is the third one of its kind to be built at, or near, the current site. Both are considered a tourist mecca in modern times. The history and heart of the structures lie in their differences. There are three types of classical orders in Greek architecture, namely

Flavian Amphitheatre is one of the biggest achievements of the Roman age. The construction of this huge Amphitheatre was started by Vespasian in 72 AD. It was finished by his son, Titus, in 80 AD. The Colosseum was built in the Centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Measuring in at 190 by 155 meters, the Colosseum was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world. Unlike many earlier amphitheaters, which were dug into hillsides to provide support. The Colosseum was an independent structure made of three

well. From Holland to Spain, Germany to France, the Baroque style began in Rome and Italy around 1600 and quickly spread to most of Europe, eventually reaching colonial South America in the 18th Century (Fargis 1998). Similar to terms such as Gothic or Mannerism, the term “Baroque” began in a

similarities and differences can be seen between the Minoan architecture from 1900BC to 1150BC and the Roman architecture from 27BC to 180AD. I’ll be mainly focusing on the palaces of Knossos and Phaistos of Minoan, Crete and The Colosseum ad the Pantheon of Rome. The architecture of Bronze Age Crete seems to be defined by the archaeological discoveries of Knossos, Phaistos, Maila, Zakros and Palekastro. These four palaces and one town are the only major pieces of Minoan building from

Baroque at the end of the nineteenth century. After being disparaged by Italian Enlightened and Romantic intellectuals, seventeenth-century art was rediscovered around the 1880s. Decadentist artists and writers like Gabriele D’Annunzio chose Baroque Rome as the backdrop for their novels and paintings to signal their disillusionment with unified Italy, which had adopted classicism as the official style. Enrico Nencioni, a critic of D'Annunzio's circle, exhorted his contemporaries to approach the Baroque

competition for the dome and was actually hired alongside Brunelleschi and another architect as one of three new capo maestri devising the dome’s construction. None of them ever received the prize of 200 florins. If Lorenzo or Battista d’Antonio - the third capo maestro - made any truly significant contributions to the dome’s design, it is seriously downplayed by King, as Brunelleschi is portrayed as the primary source of ingenuity throughout the narrative. Indeed, his salary was raised to three times

Italy Italy falls on the map straight across the North Atlantic Ocean from the a United States. It is a long peninsula in the shape of a boot. It is surrounded by France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. The Apennine Mountains form the peninsula's backbone; while the Alps help form Italy's northern boundary. The largest of its many northern lakes is Garda. Lake Garda is around 142 square miles. The Po is the name of Italy's principal river. It flows from the Alps in the west across the Lombard

The Duomo in Florence, otherwise known as the Cattedrale de Santa Maria del Flore, is one of Italy’s most celebrated works of art. “The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore was the major church in Florence in the Renaissance period, but it was a building which was largely built in the fourteenth century (thus pre-dating the Renaissance).  The origins go back to the Middle Ages, when Italian cities competed to build larger and greater cathedrals.” (Italian renaissance). “It was dedicated to Santa Maria

Discuss a local water issue that you learned about in this class. What are the causes and what are some potential solutions? Incorporate information from the course field trips, speakers, and readings in your response. (500 words) One of the biggest local water issues would be pollution. It goes as far as people throwing things into local rivers, lakes, and stream, to companies leaking things into the rivers. Over the course of the semester we as a class have taken many field trips to the mississippi

etc. The artist’s past can easily be understood due to the fallen Greek-Roman looking architectural structures found lying in front of the sitting man. These kind of constructions weren’t common in mid 17th century France, unlike ancient Greece and Rome. A. Daniel Frankforter, and William M. Spellman, in their book “The West: A Narrative History, Volume Two: Since 1400 (3rd Edition)” states that “Excavations at two buried Roman towns near Naples, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, fascinated the reading and
