Roma - autunno 2023 - Si tratta di ciò che rimane di un antico triclino, fatto edificare verso la fine dell'VIII secolo da papa Leone III (da cui Triclinium Leoninum), facente parte dell'antico 'palazzo del laterano'; prendendo a modello una stanza del palazzo imperiale di Costantinopoli Leone III aggiunse al vecchio palazzo una sala per banchetti di rappresentanza; il Liber Pontificalis descrive il triclino come caratterizzato da un'"ampiezza impressionante" e dotato di "un'absibe decorata a mosaico e altre 10 absidi a destra e a sinistra, dipinte con varie rappresentazioni degli Apostoli". La fonte aggiunge infine che Papa Leone III fece sistemare nel triclinium diversi accubita (divani sui quali ci si stendeva per mangiare) e installare, al centro di tale sala pavimentata con marmi preziosi, una grande fontana di porfido rosso a forma di conchiglia. La struttura attualmente visibile risale però alla fine del Cinquecento quando papa Sisto V diede ordine di demolire il vecchio 'palazzo del laterano', preservando comunque il Triclinium Leoninum, e fece costruire al suo posto l'attuale edificio molto più piccolo, progettato da Domenico Fontana che si era ispirato all'architettura di Palazzo Farnese.

I always read with interest and attention the captions that tell me about places I don't know, and even now I have. Then I gladly spend more than a few moments observing and enjoy the photo, especially if it is clear, clean and well made as in this case. Excellent proposal, congratulations Fabio.

Nice shot of the beautiful place and with excellent natural colors, as well as your interesting historical description. Over time, the powerful of the moment has always varied what his predecessors had built, only the thought of what it was originally remains for posterity.
Congratulations
Hi Stefano
