Birgitta Hoffmann
History and archaeology of Rome from 1300 to 1650
The 14th century is the start of the Christian Rome we admire today.
Both the secular town represented by the Commune di Roma and the Papal power developed incredible building activity, producing many of the churches and palazzi we can visit today.
But this wealth was bought with a series of wars, both in Italy and abroad. What led the Romans to invest so heavily in their city? Where did the wealth come from, and when did its love affair with antiquity rekindle, giving us the amazing libraries and art collections in the city?
