Engineering the Eternal City
Between the catastrophic flood of the Tiber River in 1557 and the death of the “engineering pope” Sixtus V in 1590, the city of Rome was transformed by intense activity involving building construction and engineering projects of all kinds. Using hundreds of archival documents and primary sources, Engineering the Eternal City explores the processes and people involved in these infrastructure projects—sewers, bridge repair, flood prevention, aqueduct construction, the building of new, straight streets, and even the relocation of immensely heavy ancient Egyptian obelisks that Roman emperors had carried to the city centuries before. This portrait of an early modern Rome examines the many c...

This book includes a selection of the articles accepted for presentation and discussion at the second International Symposium on Qualitative Research (ISQR2017), held in Salamanca, Spain, July 12-14, 2017. ISQR2017 is part of the Iberian-American Congress on Qualitative Research (CIAIQ), and featured four main application fields (Education, Health, Social Sciences, and Engineering and Technology) and seven main subjects: Rationale and Paradigms of Qualitative Research; Systematization of approaches with Qualitative Studies; Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research; Data Analysis Types; Innovative Processes of Qualitative Data Analysis; Qualitative Research in Web Contexts; Qualitative Analysis with the Support of Specific Software. This book is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, teachers and students who need information on the above topics, as well as on the use of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS).
Architetture di Carlo Rainaldi
A distanza di un cinquantennio dall'ultima monografia dedicata a Girolamo e Carlo Rainaldi, in occasione del quarto centenario della nascita di Carlo (4 maggio 2011), si dà corso alla pubblicazione di ulteriori studi archivistico- documentari e approfondimenti sulle opere di architettura a lui ascrivibili e si propone una revisione critica volta a valorizzare positivamente gli aspetti molteplici del suo operare durante l'età barocca. Sono state elaborate inedite ed innovative modellazioni virtuali sperimentali, si inseriscono in questo volume, realizzate sulla base dei disegni d'archivio esistenti tese a rendere percettibili le qualità formali delle opere anche solamente progettate. La parabola operativa di Carlo Rainaldi delinea una personalità alquanto ricca, declinata in una molteplice espressività artistica.
The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum
This book examines the influence of architectural design in the conservation of historic buildings by discussing in detail an important building complex in Rome: the Temple of Venus and Rome, the monastery of Santa Maria Nova and the church of Santa Francesca Romana. As the most complete site in the Roman Forum that has reached our times with a rich architectural stratification almost intact, it is a clear product of continuous preservation and transformation and it has not been studied in its complexity until now. The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum unravels the original designs and the subsequent interventions, including Giacomo Boni’s pioneering conservation of the monastery, carried out while excavating the Roman Forum in the early twentieth century. The projects are discussed in context to show their significance and the relationships between architects and patrons. Through its interdisciplinary focus on architectural design, conservation, archaeology, history and construction, this study is an ideal example for scholars, students and architects of how to carry out research in architectural conservation.
Les Convertis du pape
Au XVIe siècle, alors que l’Europe était déchirée par les guerres de Religion, les papes voulurent faire de Rome un modèle pour la conversion des juifs. Sous la protection de Grégoire XIII, deux banquiers séfarades, Salamone Corcos et son fils Lazzaro, appartenant à l’élite de la communauté juive, furent baptisés puis intégrés dans la noblesse romaine sous le nom de Boncompagni, qui était celui du pape. Ces hommes firent ensuite sortir du ghetto, au besoin par la force, une quarantaine d’hommes, femmes et enfants de leur famille, tandis que quelques-uns, comme Devorà et son mari Joseph Ascarelli, résistèrent aux pressions qui les poussaient vers le baptême. L’histoi...
