Il Girasole Viale Brunno Buozzi 64 00197 Rome Nicknamed the sunflower, probably derived from the plan organization and the petal-like extensions which open -sunflower-like- to one side of the building, 2 large apartments per floor, spread outward from an interior courtyard The street façade is remarkable as an abstract surface turned, like a sunflower, to face the south sun The façade contains contradictory illusions The vertical cleft which reveals the depth of the courtyard within, with right and left sides misaligned at the top, would seem to invite the absolution of planer surface but does just the opposite Built in a district of apartment blocks, it had to respond to the same zoning limitations Moretti's reputation was established by 1936 when, at the age of 29, he designed the fencing hall at Mussolini's heroic new sports centre for Rome, the Foro Italico, an exercise in rationalist design during the Fascist period Later work reveal an architect preoccupied with "organic" building forms and ideas Project is not public! 1950 Luigi Moretti Private From Termini: bus line 910 (MANCINI) to 12 fermate, get out at ANTONELLI/MERCALLI, walk 350 m to viale bruno buozzi, number 64 http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 2

Monument of Fosse Ardeatine Via Ardeatina 174 00178 Rome On 24 March 1944, German occupation forces took 335 people from prisons, houses, and off the street, and brought them to the peaceful Ardeatine Caves to the south of Rome, where the victims were massacred because 33 Nazi soldiers were killed by the resistance The Germans then mined the cliffs to make the caves collapse After the liberation, the site was dug out and turned into a monument to the worst German atrocity of the Second World War in Rome Today one of the most powerful national moments is erected on the location of the retaliatory massacre at the Pozzolana quarries along Via Ardeatina It is a beautiful place that honours those who died in the caves After World War II the bodies were re interred with honour, with their identities listed on the tombs At the top of a hill is a small museum that recalls the War, German occupation, and privations throughout after peace was declared 1952 Main designer, Artist Associate architect Associate architect Artist Associate architect Mario Fiorentino Giuseppe Perugini Mirko Basaldella Aldo Cardelli Cino Calcaprina Francesco Coccia Nello Aprile City of Rome Free entrance Daily from 8:15 to 17:45 hr On holidays: 8:45 17:15 Bus 714 (PALAZZO SPORT) 6 stops get out at PZA S GIOVANNI IN LATERANO, take bus 218 (ARDEATINA/SCUOLA PADRE FORMATO) 10 stops or take bus 218 (ZANETTA) get out at FOSSE ARDEATINE 100 m walking to Via Ardeatina Reaching Fosse Ardeatine is easy, but at the same time a challenge The official name of the stop that most tourists take to the Catacombs of St Callisto is Fosse Ardeatine Instead of crossing the street to go to the catacombs you walk straight to the monument From Stazione Termini bus 714 stop at St John Lateran Square, then bus 218 stop at Fosse Ardeatine From Piramide di Caio Cestio (Tube Piramide, Railway Station Ostiense) bus 118 to Catacombs of St Callisto http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 3

photo: Andrea Jemolo photo: Andrea Jemolo Santo Volto di Gesu Via della Magliana 166 00146 Rome How to reconcile a vision of the divine, something that has generally been represented using the symbolic forms of the circle, sphere and central plan, with the requirements of a modern culture that tends to avoid the ideals of wholeness, perfection and hierarchy? Sartogo Architetti intelligently resolved this problem in Rome The first step entailed designing a semi-circular church hall and adding to this solid the void of an exterior apse, also semi-circular in form, so that the two forms complete one another The second step consisted of placing a large round window, reminiscent of medieval rose windows, in the perimeter wall This is coupled with the emerging form of a semi-dome, containing a parish centre, suggesting the possible transformation of the virtual circumference of the plan into a sphere The path that separates the church from the parish centre is a highly symbolic space and converges towards a focal point that is dominated by a narrow and elongated cross photo: Andrea Jemolo 2006 Artist Sartogo Architetti Associati Eliseo Mattiacci (Cross) Vicariato Opera Romana per la Preservazione della Fede e la Provvista di Nuove Chiese in Roma Luigi_Prestinenza http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 4

Palazzo delle Poste Via Marmorata 39 00153 Rome The Post Office on Via Marmorata in Rome is designed by Libera, an extremely able and talented creative architect more influenced by Futurism than Rationalism His activity as founder and secretary of MIAR enabled him to establish a close working relationship with the high-up officials of the Fascist regime in Rome, where all the big decisions were taken about funding public construction programmes, and who were responsible for commissioning the hundreds of new public buildings required for Mussolini's modernisation programmes Thanks to these connections he had a prolific career throughout the Fascist regime and designed many notable buildings during the 1930s, some of which are masterpieces of the international modern movement One of the most important is his Palazzo dei Congressi (Palace of Congress) at the EUR in Rome This building shows Libera's great ability to design ambiguously in a spare, metaphysical language that sits on a knife-edge between modernism and neo-classicism 1932 Adalberto Libera City of Rome http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 5

Olympic Village 1960 Viale Diciassettesima Olimpiade Rome The site selected for the 1960 Olympics was a strategic location along the ancient Via Flaminia This area along the flood plain of the Tiber had long been used as a site for sporting events Previously it had been the Piazza d Armi for horse events and there was a hippodrome Is was also easy accessible to Foro Italico across the river to the west where facilities built in the 1930's already existed including a stadium Planned Olympic facilities included 2 stadiums and housing for the athletes One stadium was to be used for football, the Stadio Flaminio, 1959, and the other for indoor sports, the Palazzetto dello Sport, 1958 Designed by Pier Luigi Nervi The apartments were to be used after the games as dwellings for 6500 people The Olympic Village was a showcase project for Rome in the years following World War II In addition to the 2 stadiums and 1500 or so dwellings, the Olympic Village is a more-or-less complete community including shopping, schools, and a church 1962 Main designer, Luigi Moretti Adalberto Libera City of Rome / 1960 Olympics From termini station take busline 217 (XVII OLIMPIADE) for 17 stops get off at stop XVII OLIMPIADE http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 6

Garbatella Via Carlo Randaccio 1 00154 Rome On February 1920 the first stone was laid of this new neighbourhood King Vittorio Emmanuele III had planned a new harbour that would link the city of Rome with the coastal town of Ostia The hills in between were developed and these new houses were built for men working in the harbour The architecture of the quarter initially was modeled to the English Garden Cities, very connected and near the city The English Garden model was used to help the workers adjust to the new way of living in the city La Garbatella was developed by blocks (Italian Lotto) which were designed by different architects over a period of approximately twenty years: this produced a great variety of styles and decorations, with many details reminding the viewer of medieval, Renaissance or Baroque patterns The inhabitants did not find the alien landscape of so many modern urban developments, but the familiar mixture of styles existing in so many streets of Rome and they easily felt at home in their new houses 1922 Innocenzo Sabbatini City of Rome Subway to Garbatella http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 9

Corviale Via Poggio Verde 100 00148 Rome Corviale is one of the housing projects built on the outskirts of Rome in the 1970's as part of the 1964 regional plan to alleviate crowding in the older central city It is well-known as the longest single residential building in Europe: an 11-story high slab of apartments nearly 1 km in length Conceived as an independent community for about 8000 people including other facilities such as schools, shopping, recreation facilities and even a church, the building was based on the idea of social housing to provide all needed infrastructures of a city within the complex itself, and to encourage social contacts between the occupants For internal and political reasons many of these originally planned structures were never realized or are, almost 20 years after the first occupants moved in, still unfinished The area suffers from the lack of an adequate metropolitan infrastructure and it remains isolated from the greater city of which it was intended to be a part photo: Letizia Gañan 1983 Mario Fiorentino Instituto Autonomo per le Case Populari The general public places inside this housing block are open for the public to visit Better not go there at night!

Ara Pacis Museum Lungotevere in Augusta 00100 Rome http://wwwarapacisit/ The Ara Pacis Museum, located along the Tiber River, near the Ponte Cavour, on the western edge of the Piazza Augusto Imperatore, is an integral part of the urban context of the Augustean Area It is designed to house the ancient relic, the Ara Pacis Augustae, a sacrificial altar dating to 9 BC, originally housed in a building designed by Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo in 1938 The only surviving part of the Morpurgo structure is a low travertine wall that Mussolini had engraved with the "Res Gestae" (the Acts of the Divine Augustus) The new design protects and enhances the relic The travertine comes from the same quarry as the stone that was used to build the Piazza of the Emperor Augustus in the Thirties; it was also, more recently, used by Richard Meier for the Getty Centre in Los Angeles and other important architectural works 2006 Richard Meier City of Rome Tuesday-Sunday 900am-700pm; 24th and 31st December 900am-200pm (the ticket office closes an hour in advance) Monday, 1st January, 1st May and 25th December From Termini: METRO LINE A to BATTISTINI for 4 stops Get off at Flaminio Walk about 850 m down Via di Ripetta From Rome Ostiense station: Go to OSTIENSE/MATTEUCCI stop Take no 716 bus (marked for TEATRO MARCELLO) for 7 stops Get off at PETROSELLI Take no 628 bus (marked MARESCIALLO GIARDINO) for 9 stops Get off at LGT AUGUSTA/ARA PACIS On foot from Piazza di Spagna: Follow Via dei Condotti to its end, about 700 m Then continue down Via Tomacelli until you reach bank of Tiber http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 14

photo: Jherry Max photo: Jherry Max Street Lab Piazza dei Cinquecento 1 00100 Rome The installation aims to create a space for the 'urban performance art' such as mural painting, skating and hip hop culture in general, where two activities can interact: the 'actor' of the performance and the 'viewer and user' of it, in an attempt to undo time and space barriers between 'work' implementation and its fruition The final idea is therefore a kind of 'square for graffiti' in which brutal elements of design furnishing (such as containers, 'Innocenti' pylons) deliberately collide and interact with the background objects (Serviane Walls, the roof of Termini railway station, subway stairs, etc) This forms a defined, fluid but visually open space The space could be contemporarily experienced by artists and spectators inside but also, for subsequent views, from the outside, without a clear division into functional areas, but creating instead a sort of urban, controlled chaos photo: Jherry Max 2007-2007, Interior architect, Landscape architect, Urban planner BRRE architects BRRE_architects Grandi Stazioni http://wwwmimoaeu/users/lucap/guides/roma/ 16
