Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this case study we will discuss the ways in which the popes of the high and late Middle Ages shaped the city of Rome. We will look at projects initiated by the papacy and talk about how they modernized and transformed already existing buildings - not only structurally, but also using mosaics, wall-painting, and sculpture.We will not only describe and interpret the buildings and works of art themselves, but we will also ask ourselves again and again what the popes intended with the respective project and what role the buildings and works of art had in their use by the papacy, i.e. how they were incorporated in processions and papal liturgy.
