点评:The lighthouse of the Italians of Argentina is a nice and curious site on the Janiculum hill.
Built in 1911 by the architect Manfredo Manfredi, it is a work of great symbolic value: placed where the fights for the defense of the Roman Republic of 1849 took place, it was donated to the city of Rome by the Italians of Buenos Aires, as a testimony of the bond with their homeland, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Unification of Italy.
Neoclassical in style and entirely in white stone, it is 20 meters high and has a base diameter of 10 meters.
A capital has the dedication engraved: "To Rome Capital the Italians of Argentina. MCMXI" and is surmounted by an altar decorated with four volutes with lion heads.
It has a large glass lantern, accessible by a spiral staircase.
From the surrounding area you can admire an enchanting panorama of Rome.
Interesting, also for the story behind it.

这座灯塔由建筑师 Manfredo Manfredi 于 1911 年建造,具有重大的象征意义:它位于 1849 年保卫罗马共和国的战斗发生的地方,由布宜诺斯艾利斯的意大利人捐赠给罗马市,以纪念意大利统一五十周年,作为与祖国联系的见证。
灯塔采用新古典主义风格,完全由白色石材制成,高 20 米,底座直径为 10 米。
柱头上刻有题词:“献给阿根廷意大利人的罗马首都。MCMXI”,顶部是一座祭坛,上面装饰着四个狮子头的涡卷。

很有趣,背后的故事也很有趣。
