3 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.1. Introduction "The map stands as the most direct and faithful interpretation of the image of the city as it has evolved" (Italo Insolera, 1996). It is proposed to address the issue of the conformation and transformation of the urban landscape of the city of Rome through the identification of key historical moments to understand the different phases that led to the current image, through the collection of maps and views and historic photographs. The research starts from these documents, or the image of them that has been handed down over time, with the objective to show the evolution of the primitive nucleus of the city, the consolidation of its dominant structure, and follow the subsequent transformations of the city, through a chronological sequence. The cartographic analysis, the historical and socio-political analysis, and the literature have led to the identification of seven key moments that have influenced the development of the urban landscape of the city of Rome Summary Maps and for some of them there are additional explanatory schemes of the fundamental phases of the urban and landscape transformations. The ancient city has experienced a steady development culminating in the imperial period, reaching the maximum expansion in the IV century AD. After the fall of the Roman Empire there was a gradual decline of the urban center that continued throughout the medieval period. Only after the return of the the Papacy in the XIV century, the city has experienced a new development, although the inhabited area will remain confined until the XIX century only to the nuclei of the Campo Martio, Rinascimento, Trastevere and Borgo districts. In this large space of time the structure of the historic city took shape through new public spaces and perspectives, and was surrounded by villas and country estates. After the Unification of Italy Rome knew its first expansion outside the city walls towards the countryside, the so-called "Campagna Romana". This process, now marked by the planning instruments, continued uninterrupted to contemporary, and nevertheless today the territory of Roma Capitale has still a large number of protected areas of high naturalistic value, which need to be preserved from an often uncontrolled expansion, and constitutes, together with the historical and archaeological heritage, the memory of Rome's urban landscape for the next generation.

4 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.2. Ancient Rome 3.2.1. Ancient Rome_ VIII century B.C. V century A.D. Fig. 2 _ Summary map _ Ancient Rome_ IV century A.D. The urban nucleus of Rome experienced a millenary evolution during the Roman Age, from the foundation of the city, which took place on the Palatine hill, through the Republican enlargement, reaching its peak during the imperial period and, with one million inhabitants, was the largest metropolis of antiquity. The town, surrounded by walls, is very compact and dense, while the suburban areas are crossed by the aqueducts and the main communication routes, Vie Consolari, along which there are villas, mausoleums and important sites, of which today it is possible to retrace the structure: Tivoli and its sanctuaries, the imperial Villa of Hadrian, Ostia Antica and Harbours of Trajan and Claudio. Note the different trend of the river Tiber near Ostia, and the retreat of the coastline, along which were the Saline.

5 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.2.1.1. Foundation Age _ VIII century B.C. Fig. 3 _ Rome scheme _ Foundation Age _ VIII century B.C. The primitive nucleus of the city of Rome was built on the heights of the Palatine Hill and Capitoline Hill, both for epic and holy reasons, both for defensive reasons, as well as because they were close to the point where the river Tiber had, and still has its lower level, where the main routes of communication were located. The Town consisted of two fortified citadels, the landscape was characterized by a quite complex orography, crossed by many rivers, and it cha be still associates with the seven hills.

6 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.2.1.2. Republican Age _ VI century B.C. I century B.C. Fig. 4 _ Rome scheme _ Republican Age _ I century B.C. In the five centuries of the Republican Age the growth of the urban area makes it necessary to build larger City walls, the Servian Walls. The Consular routes were traced through the valleys between the hills, and built important public buildings such as the Forum, the Circus Maximus and the Theatre of Pompeo.

7 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.2.1.3. Imperial Age _ I century B.C. V century A.D. Fig. 5 _ Rome scheme _ Imperial Age _ IV century A.D. The City reached its maximum expansion in the IV century A.D. In the III century A.D. were built the Aurelian Walls that surround a very dense city, with few green spaces, with the exception of the "Holy Forests". The road network was enlarged, and many public buildings were built, including the Imperial Forum, the Baths, The Coliseum, the Stadium of Domitian, the Emporium and river harbours. The expansion also took place outside the walls, although with a suburban character, in fact along the consular routes were located Imperial and patrician villas and, as well as burial grounds.

11 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.3. Medieval Rome 3.3.1. Medieval Age _ VI century A.D. - XIV century Fig. 12 _ Summary map _ Medieval Age _ XIII century The fall of the Western Roman Empire favoured the depopulation of the countryside, and the great imperial estates passed to the Church. Due to continuous barbaric looting and feudal struggles, the villae rusticae of the imperial age turned into domuscultae (VIII century A.D.), fortified villages near a church or an abbey, located along the ancient routes. These roads also acquired the function of pilgrimage routes to Rome, which had become the center of Christianity. The ancient Roman ruins were used as quarries. The area was characterized by the widespread presence of towers and castles to defend the land leased to farmers; such lands were destined to extensive cultivation of cereals and pasture for livestock.

12 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome Subsequently, following the rise to power of some noble feudal families, were built farmhouses and villages, on lands previously belonged to the Church. In order to repopulate the countryside, with the preparation of the Catasto Alessandrino, were granted to farmers, small landowners and inhabitants of the villages the civic use of abandoned land and tax exemptions. 3.3.1.1. Medieval Age _ XIII century Fig. 13 _ Rome scheme _ Medieval Age _ XIII century After 476 A.D. Rome was devastated by the barbarian invasions: this led to the abandonment of large parts of the city, a general depopulation and an inevitable contraction of the urban nucleus. The power vacuum left space to the Byzantine officials and the papal court, which took the place of the Empire, and with the expansion of Christianity, had to accommodate the constant flow of pilgrims to the city. For this purpose were built new churches and sanctuaries around the graves of the martyrs. In the ninth century Pope Leone IV fortified the Civitas Leonina (Vatican City), symbol of political power assumed by the popes, protected by the noble families, who expanded their palaces with what remained of the ancient ruins: Castel Sant'Angelo, for example, was built on the ancient mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian. Around the middle of the twelfth century was founded the consular Municipality on Capitol Hill, and during this period were recovered the Aurelian walls and built new defensive bastions.

15 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.4. Modern Rome 3.4.1. Modern Age _ XV century - XIX century (Pre-Unification) Fig. 17 _ Summary map _ Modern Rome _ XVIII century With the return from Avignon (1378), the papacy settled permanently in Rome; this was the beginning of a period of greater stability that will culminate with Popo Julius II (1503-1513), during this period was delineated the legal-administrative and territorial division of the Papal States. During the papacy of Nicholas V (1447-1455) was started the plan of reconstruction and expansion of the city which, though interrupted by the Sacco di Roma (1527), will continue until the eighteenth century. Rome, surrounded by a "belt" of suburban aristocratic villas, experienced, during this period, a series of operations on a regional scale: the restoration and repair of some aqueducts (the Mariano, Vergine and Felice, which was built on the oldest Claudius aqueduct), the renovation and expansion of the road network.

16 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome It was also exempt from the renewal of the urban fabric also in the neighbouring towns to the city with the construction of new noble buildings, churches and villas: for example the Ville Tuscolane on the Castelli Romani Hills, the village of Julius II in Ancient Ostia and the Villa d'este in Tivoli. 3.4.1.1. Renaissance and Mannerism _ XV century - XVI century Fig. 18 _ Rome scheme _ Renaissance and Mannerism _ XVI century The sixteenth century opened with the papacy of Julius II, characterized by the start of the construction of the St. Peter basilica (1506) and the opening of new roads to link the Rinascimento and the Trastevere districts with the Vatican city (Via della Lungara and Via Giulia). With Pope Leone X began a series of urban interventions, such as the urbanization of the Campus Martius, the redevelopment of the Medicean trident (the present Via del Corso del Babuino and Ripetta), with the head of the Piazza del Popolo, which will become the privileged access to the city from the north. Later Pope Sisto V launched a plan aimed at defining perspective axes identified by obelisks, mainly concentrated in the Esquiline, which culminated with the tracking of the via Felice and Via Merulana, connection between the patriarchal Basilicas of St. John in Laterano and St. Maria Maggiore. The focal point was the crossroads of the four fountains nearby the new papal residence, the Palazzo del Quirinale. The area inside the Aurelian walls started to lose its agricultural character, and began the gradual process of privatization, with the aristocratic villas, such as Villa Ludovisi and Villa Peretti.

17 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.4.1.2. Baroque _ XVII century - XVIII century Fig. 19 _ Rome scheme _ Baroque _ XVIII century The changes affecting the urban nucleus in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries regarded mainly the construction of new villas (such as the Villa Borghese and Villa Doria Pamphili) and the restructuring of the public spaces of the city (Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza San Pietro, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain). It was also realized the restoration of the Aurelian Walls with their enlargement on the Janiculum Hill.

Neoclassicism _ XVIII century - XIX century (Pre-Unification) Fig. 20 _ Rome scheme _ Neoclassicism_ XIX century (Pre-Unification) The Napoleonic period marked the beginning of a planning phase of urban modernization of Rome, characterized by greater attention to public spaces and the health needs of citizenship: the Verano cemetery was built along the Via Tiburtina near the basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls, as well as the public gardens of the Pincio and the renovation of the Piazza del Popolo.

21 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.5. Contemporary Rome 3.5.1. From the Unification of Italy to the First World War (1871 1914) Fig. 27 _ Summary map _ Contemporary Rome _ Early XX century In 1870 the Breccia di Porta Pia marked the end of the temporal power of the Popes and led to the proclamation of Rome the following year as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. The new function of the city made it necessary to adapt its structure and for this purpose were launched the first restructuring and expansion urban plans, as embodied in the creation of the so-called "quartieri piemontesi", neighbourhoods characterized by the development of a regular grid (Esquilino Pinciano, Ludovisi and Prati districts), often at the expense of historic villas.

22 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome The process of modernization of the city unfolded through the expansion of the railway and roads network system and the identification of productive areas, which were concentrated in the Testaccio and Ostiense districts. It also was provided a belt of military forts, located along the main roads, In defense of the capital. Through the reclamation of coastal areas it was possible to start the construction of the Lido di Ostia. The next Master plan of 1909, called Sanjust, provided a further expansion of the city, through radial diagrams (for example the quartiere delle Vittorie), defined by radial avenues and squares. 3.5.1.1. The results of the first Master Plans Fig. 28 _ Rome scheme _ Early XX century With the proclamation of Rome as the capital of Italy, it was decided to localize the functions of government along the axis of Via XX Settembre, thus promoting the city's expansion to the East For this purpose the villa Peretti and villa Ludovisi were parcelled, for the construction of via Nazionale, the Esquilino district and via Veneto. As a result of the decision to initiate the housing development of the Prati di Castello, it was finally confirmed the position of the political center in the Campus Martius, and, to ensure its accessibility, it became necessary the demolition of parts of the city centre (Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Via del Tritone and Piazza Venezia). The new districts were characterized by a regular grid, defined by boulevards and squares on the model of English Square. The surviving historical villas, such as Villa Borghese, became public parks. The most extensive urban renovation of the historic centre, however, concerned the construction of the new banks of the river Tiber, to eliminate the problem of the continuous river floods. The embankments were built as tree-lined walks, albeit radically altering the relationship between the city and the river.

25 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.5.2. The first Post-war Period (1918 1939) Fig. 33 _ Summary map _ Contemporary Rome _ The 30s In the early '20s, to address the need for social housing were built IACP Garbatella and Montesacro neighbourhoods, modelled on the garden city. However, the urban expansion of Rome provided by the Master Plan of 1909 was completely revisited with the advent of Fascism, more interested in transferring the ideology on the urban fabric. To this end, were planned many demolitions in the historic city, fortunately only partly implemented, such as the demolition around the Augusteo, the current Corso Rinascimento, the demolition of the Alessandrino district for the construction of Via dell Impero, as well as in Borgo Pio because of the construction of via della Conciliazione.

26 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome To place the residents of the areas affected by previous interventions were identified in the peripheral areas, the so-called "borgate" (for example Acilia and Vitinia), which were also developed in abusive households. Most of these settlements were located along the Via del Mare, helping to draw a line of urban expansion in the direction of Ostia, and therefore of the Sea (Plan of the Comet). In 1931, with the implementation of the new PRG, were defined the criteria for expansion of the city, the functions and building types: for example, if the areas to the east and west were designed for residential building, those in the South for the industry. In those years, the landscape of the city changed for the implementation of important equipment (for example the university campus and the Foro Italico sports complex) and for the accommodation of large public green spaces (for example Villa Aldobrandini, the park of Colle Oppio, The Aventine, the Archaeological Promenade and the excavations of Ancient Ostia).

29 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.5.3. From the Reconstruction to the 70s Fig. 39 _ Summary map _ Contemporary Rome _ The 70s At the end of the Second World War, Rome had to face not only the reconstruction, but also the need to meet the growing housing needs. To the population explosion of the '50s, which resulted in a considerable increase in demand for housing, corresponded a disorderly expansion of the city and, thanks to the growing of illegal buildings, extreme fragmentation of the landscape. The residential sector, however, was not the only one to be characterized by considerable ferment: with the Olympics Games of 1960 the urban landscape saw the intensification of the infrastructures (for example Fiumicino Airport and the Olympic route). Although the Master Plan of 1962 had proposed to rationalize the existing parts of the city, and to identify functional areas (SDO Eastern Directional System), primarily through zoning, and further through stimulating the development of infrastructure (motorways), the non-application of the provisions, due to the many variants, did not change the overall framework until the '70s.

30 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome The beginning of the 70s, in fact, showed a renewed interest to the landscape that is manifested in the protection of the historical center, in the creation of regional parks and nature reserves (for example the parks of Appia Antica, Tiber Valley, Veio, and Roman Coast).

31 Le Notre Landscape Forum 2013, Rome The Landscape of Rome 3.5.4. Frome the 70s to nowadays Fig. 42 _ Summary map _ Contemporary Rome (2012) The urban sprawl continued from the 70s, and only with the Master Plan of 2008 there was an attempt to put a limit to this trend. This plan, currently in force, is characterized by the guiding principle of the metropolitan centrality, embodied in the idea of polycentric city. In order to limit the further expansion of the city, there is also the tendency to the enhancement and redevelopment of abandoned parts of the city (Auditorium, MAXXI, Città dei Giovani) and the protection of the roman countryside, the Agro romano.
