P222 - Italy - Spain's Square in Roma


Spain's Square, Roma, Italy (UNESCO WHS)




The Spanish Steps are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the church of Trinità dei Monti. The Scalinata is the longest and widest staircase in Europe.

The monumental stairway of 138 steps was built with French diplomat Étienne Gueffier’s bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi, in 1723–1725, linking the Bourbon Spanish Embassy to the Holy See, today still located in Palazzo Monaldeschi in the piazza below, with the Trinità dei Monti above.


西班牙广场(Piazza di Spagna):位于意大利罗马三一教堂(Trinita dei Monta)所在的山丘下,建筑师为德.桑蒂斯和斯佩基,其以登上教堂的西班牙阶梯而闻名。这座教堂乃1495年查理八世VIII命法国人建造,阶梯共有137阶,名称取自附近的西班牙大使馆,电影“罗马假期”即在此拍摄。阶梯下左侧的墙壁上记载着:1821年诗人济慈于此亡故。阶梯上特有的法国风味设计和广场上的一些英国咖啡馆,呈现出完全不同的气氛。 西班牙广场上的咖啡馆是济慈、拜伦、雪莱等文人最爱去的场所;特别是位于Condotti大街上的Cafe Greco,此为罗马最古老的咖啡馆。Cafe Greco不但为英国诗人聚集之处,各地的艺术家也常在此一展长才,如意大利雕刻家卡诺瓦(Canova)、丹麦雕刻家杜巴森,作家易卜生、戈果里,音乐家萧邦、白辽士、比才、李斯特,此外意大利人所崇拜的大文豪哥德,其名作“塔里夫斯的公主”就是在此完成的。由于附近艺术家云集,通往波波洛广场的Babuino 街也被誉为罗马艺术家气息最浓厚的街道,该街上有许多从事第八艺术的电影演员都在此购屋居住。广场中央有巴洛克式的建筑巨匠贝尼尼所设计的喷水池,是夏日年轻人的避暑胜地。
