In this episode, we explore the 19th-century artistic rediscovery of Rome, focusing on how artists captured the city’s complex layers of history, from its ancient ruins to its Christian heritage. Far from the polished tourist sites we know today, these artists engaged with a Rome that was both decaying and majestic. We discuss how figures like Carl Friedrich Schinkel and Ippolito Caffi saw Rome as a dialogue between the ancient and modern worlds, and how their art reflected the city’s transformation. This episode reveals Rome as an evolving symbol, constantly reinterpreted through the eyes of its admirers.
