Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona (Place Navone)

 Here the Romans simulated naval battles. With its buildings perfectly aligned on the old steps, piazza Navona kept the shape of the naval theatre. From the "Rennaissance", the old stage becomes the center of the city. The powerful Pamphili family establishes her residence there while the place is the theatre where ravels the Roman company. Happens there: the popular market, the passage of fit with body the noble ones, "chefs d'oeuvre" of barocal art are built there.

Here were held of the challenges in all kinds: box, poetry, athletics. As almost all the places intended for the entertainment of the Romans, it was surrounded of taverns and brothels. The prostitutes of luxury aroused the customers by exposing paintings which explained their specialities. The slaves, on the other hand, were exposed naked for the possible customers. These humiliations touched even Sainte Agnes, which is precisely dedicated the church raised by Borromini.
