Adriano, a name that resonates with history and art. From the caricature lithograph by Adriano Cecioni depicting John Ruskin in 1872 to the Preface to Martial's Epigrammata by Merula, his influence spans across time and disciplines. In Rome, Lazio, Italy, stands the magnificent Mausoleum of Hadrian, also known as Castel Sant Angelo. This architectural marvel takes us back to ancient times when Emperor Adrian ruled with grandeur. A bust of Hadrian carved from marble captures his regal essence while a portrait from the II century AD portrays him in his youthful glory. The mausoleum itself is a sight to behold - its section revealing intricate details and its elevation showcasing its imposing presence. A view from Parco reveals its magnificence against the Roman skyline. But Hadrian's legacy extends beyond Rome. In Tivoli lies Villa Adriano, where remnants of ancient statues stand alongside the Canopus - an awe-inspiring testament to his vision and taste for beauty. Even London pays homage to this great emperor through a map printed in 1815 displaying the Roman provinces during Hadrian's reign. It serves as a reminder of how far-reaching his empire was and how deeply he influenced history. Adriano represents not just one man but an era defined by artistic expression and architectural prowess. His impact can still be felt today as we admire these works that have stood the test of time.
