Summary:
In Renaissance Rome, ancient ruins were preserved as often as they were mined for their materials. Although the question of what to preserve and how continued to be subject to debate, preservation acquired renewed force and urgency in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as the new papal capital rose upon the ruins of the ancient city. Preservation practices became more(...)

Summary:
In Renaissance Rome, ancient ruins were preserved as often as they were mined for their materials. Although the question of what to preserve and how continued to be subject to debate, preservation acquired renewed force and urgency in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as the new papal capital rose upon the ruins of the ancient city. Preservation practices became more focused and effective in Renaissance Rome than ever before. "The Ruin of the Eternal City" offers a new interpretation of the ongoing life of ancient buildings within the expanding early modern city. While historians and archaeologists have long affirmed that early modern builders disregarded the protection of antiquity, this study provides the first systematic analysis of preservation problems as perceived by the Renaissance popes, the civic magistrates, and ordinary citizens. Based on new evidence and recent conservation theory, this compelling study explores how civic officials balanced the defense of specific sites against the pressing demands imposed by population growth, circulation, and notions of urban decorum. Above all, the preservation of antiquity remained an indispensable tool to advance competing political agendas in the papal capital. A broad range of preservation policies and practices are examined at the half-ruined Colosseum, the intact Pantheon, and the little-known but essential Renaissance bridge known as the Ponte Santa Maria.

Summary:
À la mort de Lénine en 1924, les mouvements de l'avant-garde architecturale, dont le constructivisme, vibrent à l'unisson de la Révolution de 1917. Depuis 1921, ils apportent leur écot à la Nouvelle Politique Économique, au Plan d'électrification de l'URSS et essayent de définir une « esthétique communiste » au service du prolétaire et de la kolkhozienne. L'Union Soviétique, l'Allemagne et les États-Unis forment alors la troïka de l'Internationale moderniste. Le premier plan quinquennal est lancé en 1928. Villes nouvelles et chantiers industriels tournent à plein régime. Davantage préoccupé par ces grands chantiers, Staline semble se désintéresser de l'enjeu architectural. Pourtant, à partir du concours pour le Palais des Soviets (1932) et de l'adoption du Plan Général de reconstruction de Moscou (1935), la Rome éternelle va devenir, au prix d'un face-à-face avec l'Italie fasciste, un « modèle » de réalisme socialiste inattendu...
