La via Appia è una strada romana, che collegava l'antica Roma a Brundisium (Brindisi), il più importante porto per la Grecia e l'Oriente, nel mondo dell'antica Roma. L'Appia è probabilmente la più famosa strada romana di cui siano rimasti i resti; la sua importanza viene confermata dal soprannome che i Romani le avevano dato: regina viarum. I lavori per la costruzione iniziarono nel 312 a.C., per volere del censore Appio Claudio Cieco (Appius Claudius Caecus, appartenente alla Gens Claudia), che fece ristrutturare ed ampliare una strada preesistente che collegava Roma alle colline di Albano. I lavori di costruzione si protrassero fino al 190 a.C., data in cui la via completò il suo percorso fino al porto di Brindisi. Nel 71 a.C., 6 000 schiavi si ribellarono sotto la guida del celebre Spartaco (Spartacus). Dopo la cattura e la morte dello schiavo, tutti i ribelli vennero a loro volta catturati e crocifissi lungo la strada, fino a Pompei. La strada fu restaurata ed ampliata durante il governo degli imperatori Augusto, Vespasiano, Traiano, Adriano. Dopo la caduta dell'Impero romano d'Occidente, la strada cadde in disuso per molto tempo, fino a quando Papa Pio VI ordinò il suo restauro e la riportò in attività. Dal porto di Brindisi salpò Federico II in direzione della Terra santa; nel Medioevo, l'Appia divenne, con la via Traiana, la via dei crociati. La strada dimenticata per secoli fu riscoperta durante il periodo rinascimentale. Ampie parti della strada originale si sono preservate fino ad oggi ed alcune sono tuttora usate per il traffico automobilistico (per esempio vicino aVelletri). Lungo la parte di strada più vicina a Roma si possono ammirare numerose tombe e catacombe romane delle prime comunità cristiane. Negli anni '50 e '60 sul tratto urbano della Via Appia Antica si realizzano ville esclusive, che diventano residenza dell'alta società romana. E gli attori più famosi: Mastroianni, Gina Lollobrigida e il regista Franco Zeffirelli, vi costruiscono le loro ville, imitando i divi americane e le loro faraoniche residenze di Beverly Hills. Commenti, consigli e critiche sempre super graditi. Grazie.

A splendid photographic sinadoche: this detail, which acquires particular importance thanks to the wise use of light, is an important testimony well documented in your caption; every time I visit Rome, where I have been living for a year, I find the way to spend some time in the street. Congratulations, I like it. A good greeting. Silvio. :-)

Beautiful shot Annamaria!
Even in Limone Piemonte there are traces of a Roman road in total abandonment ...
A warm greeting, Arvina :-)
