Roccantica

Medieval Festival, with historical re-enactments, processions, tournaments, entertainments, taverns and artisans workshops. Night time Procession of the Assunta in medieval costume, around 600 costumes in medieval style are worn by the young people of the village who, through music, flags, and torches, evoke the atmosphere of the period against the backdrop of the typical medieval architecture of the village.

At the beginning of the 12th century Pope Pasqual II put into effect a more decisive strategy to ensure, once and for all, Papal control over the Sabina. One of the most important elements of this plan was an intensive campaign of building and the reconstruction of churches in the Romanesque style, such as for example the cathedral church itself, Santa Maria della Lode at Vescovio.

S. Maria in Vescovio is situated in the district of Torri in Sabina.

Google Maps: Castel Sant'Angelo

The Castel Sant'Angelo is a building in Rome, one with a long and chequered past. Originally it was built under the Roman Empire in the 2nd century by emperor Hadrian as a funerary monument.

In the Middle Ages it was converted into a major fortification, although most of the original Roman structure was preserved.

Pope Nicholas III connected Castel Sant'Angelo to St. Peter's Basilica by a covered corridor called Passetto di Borgo.

Circo Massimo in Rome at sunset.
It was once a race track. It was made in the time of the Etruscan kings (presumably Tarquinio Prisco). Augustus adorned the brick structure with an imperial stage, which was rebuilt by Trajan, enlarged by Caracalla and restored by Constantine. During the reign of Constantine, the Circus could hold more than 200,000 spectators. Today only the outline remains (the area it occupied is now a public garden).

Sunday i have listen a concert ( Sinfony n. 40 Amadeus Mozart ) in this fabulous architecture, but it was prohibited to photograph inside the auditorium. :(

This is a detail of the external structure.

The three constructions that make up the Auditorium complex rise from this plain on an elevation of +24.85 creating a sequence of three distinct "harmonic chambers", of different sizes, yet belonging to the same architectural family, are immersed in the large park with trees and are placed at a right angle around a large theatrical cavea.

If you want see the fantastic hall "Santa Cecilia"
