13"x19" signed print: archival pigmented inks on matte watercolor paper Begun in a.d. 135 by Hadrian as a mausoleum for his family, this tomb eventually contained the funerary urns of all the emperors from Hadrian to Septimius Severus. In its colorful and varied history, this fortresslike structure has been a fortified military stronghold, a barracks, and a jail. The 84-meter base is topped by a 20-meter-high drum. The arcaded, covered passage to the right leads to the Vatican Palace. It is from the parapet of Castel S. Angelo that Puccini’s Tosca leaps to her death.
