	Porta Pia
		The outer part of Porta Pia was rebuilt during the pontificate of Pius IX in 1868.
		Porta Pia replaced in a slightly different position Porta Nomentana, known also as Porta S. Agnese, because it led to the church of S.
		Porta Pia is an exception: Pius IV opened a straight road (named after him Strada Pia) which linked the Quirinal with this gate; the decoration of its internal side was meant as a celebration of Strada Pia.

		But the Acqua Marcia Pia now flows in the Pope's pretty fountain of Piazza Pia, so that here in the Borgo, the ancient "Porch of St. Peter's," we find the last water and, with the exception of the fountain in the Piazza Mastai, the last fountain, of papal Rome.

		The gate of Ancona follows a baroque pattern while a sort of triumphal arch erected at the same time to celebrate a papal visit to Subiaco is definitely neoclassical (the coat of arms however is baroque).
		Another large coat of arms of Pius VI is still visible near Porta del Popolo.

		Therefore, the aim of Porta Pia was basically to provide an easier and wider access to this main road.
		The other tower that stood by the doorway was taken down in the early 19th century to enable the exploration of a roman tomb located by its base.
		Note how, unlike Porta Pinciana (and other major gates), Porta Nomentana had no white stone facing, or similar additional elements; all the roman gates must have originally looked quite similar to this simple yet rather steady brick structure.

		Basta soltanto citare la distruzione della scuola pubblica statale, avvenuta per sua insistente pressione e per la scandalosa debolezza e vigliaccheria dei nostri politici, per agognare davvero ad una seconda Porta Pia, magari per sfrattare quei parassiti e millantatori della credulità popolare, in un eremo, dove possano esercitare le loro stregonerie, lontano da noi.
		Noi pensiamo che i tempi per una rinnovata "Porta Pia", siano maturi.
		Dobbiamo salvare la nostra cultura con l'ausilio della scienza, dobbiamo saper riconoscere le necessità di un mondo distrutto dal capitalismo-imperialista con la certezza.che i popoli non hanno bisogno di "preghierine", ma di lotta, contro le guerre, contro i terrorismi di stato.

		Across the street from Porta Maggiore, right next to the overhead railroad tracks, a door (always closed) leads down to an ancient Roman underground basilica with well-preserved stucco decorations, which was dedicated, it seems, to a Pythagorean philosophical-religious cult.
		The gate is one of the first examples of architectural recycling, in fact the two arches were not originally part of the city walls but belonged to an aqueduct that Emperor Claudius had built in 52 AD where Via Labincana and Via Prenestina met.
		Later, the two arches were incorporated into the city walls and were given the name Porta Prenestina.

	PIA RUGGIU
		Nelle sue nuove opere Pia Ruggiu sembra fare un compromesso tra le forme dei luoghi in cui vive ed il suo vocabolario artistico, così le sue sculture si possono apprezzare come stralci di scogliere e omaggi a Brancusi, Burri o Moore.
		Così la pittura, che si dipana su una sola dimensione, invita ad una visione che fa muovere in maniera scattante lo sguardo; la scultura, che per natura obbliga ad una visione a tutto tondo, porta ad uno sguardo avvolgente e carezzevole ma che quasi giunge alla stasi.
		Ma se per facilità di lettura si e dato un ordine per generi alle ricerche dell’artista, ora le varie fasi coesistono: Pia Ruggiu dipinge e scolpisce trovando in queste pratiche una comune e più ampia opportunità d’espressione e conoscenza.

	Porta Pia F6a
		After the ancient gate Porta Nomentana was closed with the goal to straighten the tract of the new road penetrating the city Via Pia (from the name of pope who wanted all this work done Pius IV Medici), the construction of the new gate was ordered to Michelangelo.
		The statues represent S.Agnese and S.Alessandro, two saints to who the basilicas standing on the via Nomentana (which begins from Porta Pia) are dedicated.

	Conclusion of the Four Fountains
		Far more important than Flaminio’s evidence, however, is a little series of handwritten documents – grants made by the pope – which, even if they shed no light on the sculptors of these four fountains, at least establish their dates.
		In it, Sixtus V granted “Muzio Mattei the return on two fountains in Via Felice and Porta Pia.
		These are the one at the corner of the present Palazzo del Drago [Dragon House], where Muzio’s house stood in those days; and another much further away (at Porta Pia), which I cannot identify and which in any case has nothing to do with this chapter.

	[Gargonza] Neonazisti, Porta Pia, S. Gennaro
		Per me uno dei simboli più forti è Porta Pia, e il XX settembre, da laico credente, mi emoziono sempre per il ricordo della fine del potere temporale dei papi e per la conquista di Roma.
		Si tratta di un simbolo forte, della vittoria di un'Italia che, con tutti i suoi limiti, ammetteva e propugnava la supremazia delle istituzioni civili su quelle religiose, rimettendole nel loro giusto posto accessorio, non fondativo dello stato.
		Nessun dubbio, per i redattori del TG1, che di miracolo si tratti; come nel caso del federalismo, la parola si è ormai depurata dei suoi significati antichi per indicare magari gli effetti o di un caffè ("o' miracolo") oppure di qualche evento degno di nota ma che non sconvolge la vita più di tanto.
