This article analyses Francesco Giammaria’s Capitolium novum, a Latin poem describing a tour of the historic centre of Rome in 1933, in its historical, architectural, and intellectual contexts. We offer a detailed analysis of three key sections of the poem, which deal with the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine, and the Ara dei caduti fascisti respectively. We show how Giammaria’s poem responds to urbanistic interventions in the city centre during the ventennio, and specifically to the Fascist ‘recoding’ of the city as the ‘Third Rome’, with a narrative emphasizing the historically layered nature of Rome. Giammaria offers his own interpretation of the respective importance and interrelation of the city’s historic layers: the rhetoric of his poem is aimed at superimposing Catholic Rome over pagan Rome, and at framing all historical layers of the city, including the Fascist one, as part of its Christian mission and destiny. Thus, Capitolium novum resonates with efforts of intellectuals gathered around Carlo Galassi Paluzzi’s Istituto di Studi Romani, who aimed to promote a cultural reconciliation between Fascism and Catholicism.

在Ventennio Fascista的拉丁文学作品中观看罗马：弗朗切斯科·贾玛利亚（Francesco Giammaria）的国会大厦Novum

本文分析了弗朗切斯科·贾玛格里亚（Francesco Giammaria）的Capitolium novum，这是一首拉丁诗，描述了1933年罗马历史中心在历史，建筑和知识背景下的游览。我们对这首诗的三个关键部分进行了详细的分析，分别涉及罗马斗兽场，君士坦丁凯旋门和Ara dei caduti fascisti。我们将展示Giammaria的诗歌是如何在冒险期间回应城市中心地区的城市主义干预，特别是法西斯主义将城市重新编码为“第三条罗马”的故事，并通过叙述来强调罗马的历史层次。贾玛里亚（Giammaria）对这座城市的历史遗迹的重要性和相互关系提出了自己的解释：他的诗的修辞旨在将天主教罗马叠加在异教罗马上，并将这座城市的所有历史层面，包括法西斯主义层面，作为其基督教使命和命运的一部分。因此，在卡洛·加拉西·帕卢齐（Carlo Galassi Paluzzi）的《罗马史学院》（Istituto di Studi Romani）周围聚集的知识分子的努力下，新国会大厦引起了共鸣，他们的目的是促进法西斯主义与天主教之间的文化和解。
