BORN TO BAR THE TEMPLE OF VENUS AND ROME
Antonella Colaninno
part of the park with his seventy-projects sites open ended at the Roman Forum the restoration of the temple Venus along with some interventions, including that of the third order of the stands of the Coliseum, where the museum will be set up the monument. After the shameful collapse of Pompeii, the reopening of the temple is a victory for the preservation of our artistic and archaeological heritage, and now you try to intervene in the western part of the Palatine at high risk, with a monitoring system for terrestrial and satellite that monitors the entire area. The landslides on the hill are linked to the presence of underground cavities that represent a risk factor for the sights, writes Lauretta Colonels in his recent article published in the Corriere della Sera . A first restoration of the Temple was built in 2000 on the occasion of the Jubilee, after ten years, the new restoration project that was completed on schedule with the cost of returning the funds disbursed, has restored the unity of the two cells , after a thousand years, come back "in a unique" as he had designed Hadrian in 121 AD C. The restoration has thus enabled to restore unity architecture, as built by Hadrian in the original project. The Temple of Venus is an important testimony of the Roman Empire, brought finally reopened after 26 years of work, returning part of its archaeological context. It was built on the hill Velia from 121 d. C. the political intent to combine the figure of Venus, the mother of Aeneas, the city of Rome and create continuity between the divine origin of the gens Iulia and the Roman Empire. The structural interventions were mainly aims "to counter the phenomenon of rotation caused by the removal of the supports and to allow proper water run-off and disposal, main cause of degradation. " Water infiltration within the lesions of the walls created serious damage to the decorations. The restoration has involved particularly the half-shell and the walls of the apse of the south side and was partially rebuilt the perimeter wall to allow more static. Among the interventions of the project on the Roman Palatino there are those of Vigna Barberini, which opened in October 2009, with arches Severiane reopened late last year and the Basilica Emilia reopened April this year. By December 10 is scheduled to reopen the House of the Vestal Virgins.
Let me conclude by returning a reflection of Andrea Carandini published in Corriere della Sera in his article "that" preventive medicine "to save the ruins." " This applies to the dynamism of the monuments that should receive, taking into account the reality no longer visible. In fact, Rome is a river, not of water but of tufa, travertine and marble. No longer able to hope for a city museum, we are forced to experience the story at times, opening a door not only on the imperial metropolis but also on the other Rome. "
