This movie has been realised by CNR ISPC in collaboration with SD CInamtografica, in the context of the Virtual Museum of the Walls of Rome, commissioned by Soprintendenza Capitolina. The actions develop in a tower located along the city Walls near Porta San Sebastiano, in Rome.
Conception and screenplay: Eva Pietroni, CNR ISPC
Only eight years after the tragic sack of the Eternal City by the imperial Landsknechts, Emperor Charles V entered Rome via the Via Appia on 5 April 1536 to meet Pope Paul III.
Extensive preparations were made for this event, which was intended to mark the redemption of the city and the Papacy in the eyes of the Emperor: buildings were demolished, streets widened, and Porta San Sebastiano was richly adorned with temporary decorations to welcome Charles V and his entourage as they entered Rome.
Numerous sources recount these events. Here, we present a hypothetical dialogue between an architect and a dignitary of Pope Paul III, tasked with organizing the welcoming arrangements.
Screenplay: Eva Pietroni
