- Abstract:
- The chapter examines the historical, cultural, and architectural significance of the Roman Pantheon as one of the best-preserved monuments of antiquity, featuring a unique design (a dome 43.57 m in diameter with an oculus 9 m in diameter), a rich history of transformations (its conversion into a church in 609, the removal of bronze materials by order of Pope Urban VIII for St. Peter's Basilica and for cannons at Castel Sant'Angelo, as well as the installation and removal of Bernini's «donkey ears» in the 19th century), and a mythological and legendary context (the disappearance of Romulus, the origin of the oculus, and the tale of Bayard). Special attention is devoted to the tomb of Raphael Sanzio with its epitaph, the commemorative plaque for the paving of Piazza della Rotonda, and the tradition of scattering rose petals on Pentecost. The material is presented within the context of the professional training of future tourism industry specialists, for whom knowledge of ancient art constitutes a significant component of professional competence, enabling them to successfully address the challenges of designing and conducting excursion programs.
