	Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) by Andrew Keel \|\| Landscape Architecture Study Tour \|\| Instructor, Jack Ahern \|\| ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Cordonata is a long and wide staircase with wide treads that creates a grand sense of arrival as one reaches the opening of the space.
		The entrance to the space is even more exaggerated by the great granite statues of Egyptian lions at the foot of the Cordonata and two massive classical statues of the mythological twins Castor and Pollux at the top.
		Michelangelo's Campidoglio is located on Capitoline Hill between the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II and the ruins of the Roman Forum.

	The Cordonata at the Campidoglio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In 1998 Pistolesi was commissioned by the Proctor & Gamble Company, by Laura Biagiotti and the Roma Caput Mundi Association to execute the artistic covering for the restoration of the Cordonata (the easiest ascent) to the Campidoglio.
		After studying the subject in depth, the artist decided to take up the themes of the Cordonata with its mythological figures of Castor and Pollux and its Egyptian lions.
		With technological means, these figures were enlarged to the actual size of the 690 sq mt. panel, which acted to cover the scaffolding raised during the restoration of the Cordonata.

	Campidoglio - The Lion Fountain
		The third fountain in the trio of the Campidoglio is to be found in the upper garden of the Palazzo dei Conservatori - the building to the right hand in the ascent of the Cordonata.
		It can hardly be called a fountain, since it is merely a large basin of water surrounding some rockwork on which stands an old bit of sculpture of a character manifestly inappropriate to the sentiment of a fountain.
		The high value evidently placed upon it by its original possessor was also given to it by its discoverers.

		In 1536 the Farnese pope, Paul III, commissioned Michaelangelo to improve the appearance of the piazza on the hill, and Michaelangelo responded by designing a highly original piazza whose surface is covered by an intricate geometric pattern.
		He rebuilt the facade of the fortress built on the ruins of the Tabularum, a building that became the home of the Senate of Rome.
		The stone lions at the foot of the Cordonata come from Egypt and have been turned into fountains.

	Cordonata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cordonata (Italian noun, from cordone, meaning "lineal architectonic element which emphasizes a limit") is a sloping road composed of transversal stripes ("cordoni"), which are made with stone or bricks.
		It has a form almost similar to a flight of steps, but allows the transit of horses and donkeys.
		Among the most famous italian cordonate are the one in Rome (rione Campitelli) leading to the Piazza del Campidoglio (the "cordonata capitolina", work of Michelangelo) and that, also in Rome (rione Trevi), which leads to the Piazza del Quirinale, and gives the name to a road (Via della Cordonata).

		All three buildings are long but relatively narrow, like a show front with little behind it.
		The large stairway, called the "cordonata," lleading up to the only entrance of the Piazza in Michelangelo’s design provides a dramatic climax to the Piazza, helping to revive the sense of importance desired by the Pope.
		Design elements of the “New Palace” and its twin the Conservators’ Palace, combine empty spaces and solids, and horizontals and verticals in a way not found in any piece of architecture since ancient Rome.

	Cordonata - Wikipedia
		Die so genannte Cordonata ist die große Freitreppe, die den heutigen Hauptzugang zum Kapitolsplatz in Rom darstellt.
		Am unteren Ende der Marmorbalustrade der Cordonata befinden sich zwei Löwen-Statuen aus schwarzem Granit aufgestellt, die bereits seit der Antike an diesem Ort anzutreffen gewesen sein sollen.
		Dieser Funktion verdanken sie dann auch das Privileg im Laufe des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit bei Festen mehrfach als Weinspender fungieren zu dürfen, um die römische Bevölkerung reichlich zu versorgen.

		The simplicity of the design partakes of the inevitable.
		Washington Irving's epithet of the "lordly Hudson" proves the hold that great river had over his perception and imagination; and not any statue of a river-god can give the conception of a river which is to be found in Arnold's "Sohrab and Rustum":
