Vatican at night
Continue My research in the capitals of the world in search of the original flavor of the dishes to better understand their origins and their history is interwoven with art and culture.
Michelangielo Popes and artists like Raphael and Bernini had rather than a weakness for good food and drink, often found inspiration in the taverns and inns, common in the faces of ordinary people, unfamiliar faces printed on a canvas, will be the most important works, and discussed the world.
For a culture bath so deep in history I have to thank Prof. Nicholas Brenzoni philosopher of history as well as it has guided me in this wonderful journey of rediscovery.

over the premises to go there to eat even the Roman priests.
Io e mia moglie in piazza di Spagna:
La bella vita è qui, le vetrine dei grandi stilisti italiani e esteri, le scalinate che vanno
al centro della piazza è la fontana della Barcaccia, del 1629, di Pietro Bernini (padre di GianLorenzo, che collaborò all'opera). Venne realizzata in ricordo dell'alluvione del Tevere del 1598 e la sua forma di barca semisommersa fu un espediente per dissimulare il problema tecnico della scarsa pressione dell'acqua.
But it is the central staircase which makes the square one of the most spectacular of the city. It was designed by Francesco De Sanctis in 1723-26 at the behest of Pope Innocent XIII, and gave a final version to the considerable difference between the square and the upper church of the Trinity. The bold architectural solution replaced a game of stairs and ramps that intersect and fanning out, the existing steep tree-lined streets.
In spring the steps of the square is colored with beautiful floral arrangements, creating an image of rare beauty, beloved by tourists from around the world.

Spaghetti Amatriciana
Amatriciana Spaghetti with pecorino.
In Roman times, the massive volume of Castel S. Angelo looked very different from what we see today would probably designed by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for the family, consisted of a huge cylinder, about 65 meters in diameter, covered with travertine marble and covered by dense vegetation and d ' trees, the center of which stands a smaller cylinder, more or less provided the most ancient mausoleum of Augustus - the remains of which can be seen today in Piazza Augusto Imperatore, next to the Ara Pacis. It was to be surrounded by numerous sculptures, and a crown, there was probably a bronze statue of the emperor as a sun, driving a chariot. Began in 123 under Antoninus Pius was then finished and served up by imperial tomb Caracalla, who was killed in 217.
Over time, the mausoleum is open to different functions: it was transformed by Aurelian in 271, in a fortified outpost, and encompassed by a wall where the door opened later known as St. Peter - who, in the Middle Ages, allowed the connection to the tomb of the apostle. It was used as a fortress, both from the barbarians who, at any time thereafter, by the Pope, when he became the defensive stronghold of Borgo district. He became the impregnable garrison of papal power, welcomed the papal apartments, there were made of the corner bastions and a pentagonal outer wall. In 1277 he was made an elevated walkway, the 'Leonine Walls' that bound him to the Vatican walls, giving the Pope quickly and safely escape.
The building was also used as a prison, since the Middle Ages. Its cold, dark and damp, hosted illustrious prisoners - such as Benvenuto Cellini, Giordano Bruno, Cagliostro. The executions took place in backyards by decapitation, and the cells were dying of hunger or torture. Quote

Fontana di Trevi
It is up to Pope Clement XII in 1731, the task to take up the fate of the plaza and fountain in major committees of his pontificate, which will lead to the completion of large factories remained unfinished, announces an important competition for the construction of a major exhibition of water. Having rejected several projects that attempted to preserve the facade of the Palazzo Poli, the attention was placed on the designs of Ferdinando Fuga, Nicola Salvi and Luigi Vanvitelli, much to the chagrin of the Dukes of Poli, still own the building, which would have seen facade of his building be reduced by two distances of windows and also crowned by the pope's coat of arms of the family, Corsini. Clement XII did not want to listen to reason, the projects entrusted to a committee of experts and the contract was won by Nicola Salvi.
