Description:

This course studies the history, art, architecture, and symbolic imagery of the city of Rome from its legendary founding by Romulus in 753 B.C.E. to the Fascist era and its aftermath following World War II. Readings and discussion will be oriented toward an understanding of the city's symbolic significance to its inhabitants and visitors during the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, with emphasis on the ongoing appropriation and transformation of Roman antiquity. Additional issues to be explored include the complex and shifting political and artistic interconnections between the papacy, the Senate, and the city's feudal nobility, and the refashioning of the city's identity during the Fascist era. This 300-level seminar will require intensive reading and class participation, two papers, and a class presentation. 1.00 units, Seminar
