Box 2084 San Antonio 6, Texas ROME • Continued from Page 401 of the best preserved of Roman Triumph Arches. Since both sides are interesting, either will serve for your movies and you can shoot wherever the light is striking best when you arrive. Following the above schedule in the order given, you should be at the Arch about noon or early afternoon. One good angle of the Arch is from Via di Sana Gregorio. looking northward. From Via di San Gregorio you can include some the Colosseum through the Arch. A low earner angle will accentuate the height of the Arch. On the hill to the left of the Arch of Titus, (as you left the Roman Forum ) is the Temple of of Venus and Rome. This double temple was built by Hadrian from his own plans in 135 A.D. The Temple of Venus faces the Colosseum and the Temple of Rome overlooked the Forum. Of this structure some 25 columns have been re-erected. From this spot you have an excellent view of the Colosseum. An interesting angle for the Colosseum is had by shooting along the row of columns above Via d. Impero, using these columns on the left as a foreground and the oClosseum in the distance. A long shot of the Arch of Constantine can also be made from here. The Flavian Amphitheatre, or Colosseum as it is commonly known, was first constructed in 72 A.D. With a seating capacity of 50.000, it was the scene of fights of Gladiators, naval battles I in which the arena was flooded ). and chases of wild animals. Lack of repair, earthquakes and scavangers brought about the ruin of this monument. About the middle of the 18th century Pope Benedict XIV dedicated it to the remembrance of the martyrs who died there and since the beginning of the 19th century restoration work has been undertaken to preserve the Colosseum. Return to your left along Via Foro Imperiali to Piazza Venezia. Before you rises what the Romans like to call the "Birthday Cake", the Vittorio Emanuele II monument. Constructed at the turn of this century as a svmbol of the unity of Italy, it now contains the tomb of the unknown soldier. Its long terraced stairs, tall basement, and colonnade, all in white stone, together with the ornamentationh, justify the nickname the Romans have given this edifice. \our two best angles will be: one. from the front showing the svmmetry of the monument; two. from the left side near the church of Santa Maria di Loreto. This latter will be a semi-backlighted shot that will give you a very interesting effect at the right time of dav. To the right of the Monument along Via del Mare are the steps to the Campdoglio. the Capitoline Hill. In early Rome this seat of the government wass accessible only from the Forum. The stairway that you now ascend was designed by Michelangelo, as were also the buildings at the top of the hill. The palaces on either side of the square were constructed according to a then new architectural formula, their facades are at an angle to the square, thereby giving it the impression of being larger than it really is. These two palaces now house the Capitoline Art Collection. The center building is the Town Hall and the residence of the Mayor. In the center of the square is the ancient Roman statue of Marcus Aurelius. one of Rome's greatest emperors. In the afternoon, the sun will reach into the square and light the Town Hall and the palace on the left side and the statue of Aurelius. A wide angle lens here will enable you to show some of the effect of spaciousness of Michelangelo's design. The equestrian figure of Marcus Aurelius can be played against the belfry of the Town Hall with its statue of Rome with a cross. The huge sculptures of Castor and Pollux that guard the stairway can be used to frame your shots of the palace. To the right of the center building is a short street that will bring you to a walk that overlooks the Roman Forum. From here, especially in the afternoon, you can get an excellent panorama of all of this Forum. \our second day begins with an early trip to St. Peter's Church, via bus No. 62 or 64. or tram ED or ED. This center of Catholicism faces directly East. V our tour allows the morning in and around St. Peter's. It is not possible to shoot, visit the church and the Vatican Galleries in this time, so we would suggest that you spend the time after shooting investigating the wonders of the largest church in the world. Stretching before the church is the Piazza San Pietro. Surrounded by four rows of columns topped by 140 statues of Catholic saints, this vast area forms a fitting entrance to the church. In the center of the Piazza are two fountains by Bernini ( who also designed the columns) and an Egyptian obelisk 80 feet high. This Piazza is built near Xeros Circus and the obelisk once stood there. St. Peter's was begun in 1506. More than 100 years passed before final completion. Its construction was entrusted to the outstanding architects of that time among whom were Bramante. Michelanegelo and Maderno. The inside of the church is a wonder of proportion. With everything so perfectly scaled, one loses the effect of its immensitv. The miniature size 402
