There's nothing I don't love: the structure of the building itself, the versatility in how it was used, the miracle story, the bridge, and the bonus of it being built for Emperor Bae-drian, lol. 😍 I'd love to see it (from the bridge with a cappuccino) someday.

The last act of Puccini's great opera Tosca takes place in this building then a prison -Cavaradossi,waiting execution the next day,sings his stunning aria "E lucevan le stelle" -the stars were brightly shining" from his prison cell and Tosca herself commits suicide from this structure by leaping over the parapets.Once watched a re-enactment of this famous scenario (on TV) in this famous building.

Rimane sempre il Mausoleo di Hadrian, il grande Imperatore, è stato saccheggiato , depredato e costruito sopra dai papi, che hanno fatto della Roma imperiale tutto quello che hanno voluto, uno scempio ......

The Holy Roman Empire was based in north Central Europe and was, in practical terms, a distinct political entity from the the Papacy in Rome. Charles V didn’t intend that the troops originally in his employ proceed to sack Rome but when you neglect to pay mercenaries they start looking around for rich targets. It was something of an embarrassment for Chuck.

happy to note the nuances conserved in your account: Constantine was not the one who made Christianity the official religion of the empire; that was Theodosius in the 380s. Constantine "decriminalized" the religion is accurate. you did use the phrase "was robbed" referring to the marble; fair enough, from an aesthetic point of view. factually, it "was stripped" of its marble for use in other buildings. this is one conundrum: which building(s)? the Pantheon had the same fate...

Good point! I believe they were referencing the term "spolia" which is Latin for "spoils" and therefore connecting the marbles to being stolen/robbed! No one knows where they ended up but I'm sure there are guesses to where they are.

@@jeankumik2435 the original reference was to the "spolia egyptorum" - the "spoils of Egypt", i.e., the winner in a war has a right to take what's there to take in the loser's territory. that's not really "robbing" which violates a right, but is taken as a consequential right that the winner can claim...

That was a lovely and excellent commentary, right up until the very last line '...and enjoy a cup of espresso'. It reminds me of every visit to a beautifully preserved gallery or monument to enjoy a wonderful visit, only to be met at the end by the gift shop/cafe which is so overpriced that you gag in horror at the menu.

Rome wasn’t sacked in 1527 by Charles V, but by his mutinous troops. He condemned the sacking, in fact. Brilliant video nonetheless!

While I do enjoy Bernini's angel sculptures along the bridge - I wish that Pope Gregory had seen his angel on a different monument! While there is beauty in the transitory nature of life, I'm sad to see Hadrian's tomb gutted, appropriated, rented out and used as a site for capitalistic gain (especially with such a uncharming militaristic hodge-podge architecture). Great video Smarthistory!
