VenereElettrica - The International Female Rock Festival The construction of the Rocca Paolina began in 1540, by will of Pope Paul III, after the City of Perugia had lost the "salt war" and its independence. The Rocca was built over the Baglioni family's district, that is, over the remains of the palaces of the family most hated by the Pope. What is left today, after the demolition of the Rocca Paolina was completed in 1860, is part of the supporting walls and the Porta Marzia, an ancient etruscan doorway. www.venerelettrica.com /Luogo.html   (128 words)

Perugia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gian Paolo Baglioni was lured to Rome in 1520 and beheaded by Leo X; and in 1540 Rodolfo, who had slain a papal legate, was defeated by Pier Luigi Farnese, and the city, captured and plundered by his soldiery, was deprived of its privileges. The original design was by Antonio and Aristotile da Sangallo, and included the Porta Marzia (3rd century BC), the tower of Gentile Baglion's house and a mediaeval pit. The upper one was demolished when the Rocca Paolina was built. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Perugia   (1069 words)

Perugia : In Depth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) Perugia's Medieval Pompeii--To cow the insurgent Perugini into submission after he put down their rebellion against his salt tax, Pope Paul III demolished more than one quarter of the city in 1530, pointedly including the palaces of the fractious former leaders, the Baglioni family. They found themselves outnumbered, however, as almost every man, woman, and child in the city descended with grim faces on the hated rocca and began to tear it apart stone by stone with pickaxes, shovels, and their bare hands. The vaults of the rocca now serve as a public exhibition space, and stretches of the subterranean streets are interspersed with the escalators that connect Piazza Italia, which partially takes up the space the dismantled fortress left, with the parking lots below. www.frommers.com /destinations/print-narrative.cfm?destID=169&catID=0169010012   (463 words)
