Reseña del editor

A multi-disciplinary insight into the history and present state of one of Europe s most beloved and ancient cities. Contains contributions from numerous young scholars. Approaches Rome from multiple perspectives: history, art history, archaeology, cultural and social sciences, architecture and urban planning. A book for any enthusiast of Rome and Roman history. "Rome, golden, eternally powerful, glorious, world-dominating Rome, sovereign of cities, city of cities, the fortunate, regal, holy city, the greatest of cities, seat of empire and glory." In 1927, Ernst Kantorowicz summed up with this single sentence the eulogies paid to Rome in antiquity and the Middle Ages. The multiple layers of history that surround the eternal city continue to fascinate us today. With its extremes and contradictions, it remains one of the central points of reference for literary and intellectual reflection. However, although masses of visitors travel to Rome in search of this glorious past, they rarely take note of the contemporary rifts that divide the city today. Rome therefore has to meet the challenges of monument preservation and the historical heritage, without losing sight of current urban developments. History Takes Place: Rome, with contributions by young scholars from a variety of disciplines - history, art history, archaeology, cultural and social sciences, as well as architecture and urban planning - opens up new perspectives on this fascinating European metropolis.

Reseña del editor

"Rome, golden, eternally powerful, glorious, world-dominating Rome, mistress of cities, city of cities, the fortunate, regal, holy city, the city of all, seat of empire and glory." In this single sentence, Ernst Kantorowicz summed up in 1927 the eulogies Rome attracted in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The "eternal city" continues to fascinate today with its extremes and contradictions. It has accumulated multiple layers of history and remains one of the central points of reference for literary and intellectual reflection. The metropolis attracts masses of visitors who want to participate in the glorious past. Usually they take but cursory note of the contemporary rifts in in the city. History Takes Place: Rome studies the urban design of Rome and discusses challenges of monument preservation and urban heritage. Contributions by young scholars from different disciplines-history, art history, archaeology, cultural and social sciences, as well as architecture and urban planning-open up a new perspective on modern history of the city and current urban developments.
