入り口の柱は地元ではマンマロッキと呼ばれています。これらは、16世紀のマニエリスム庭園と建築文化で活躍したピロ・リゴリオ作とされる、トラバーチン製の大きな寓意的な人物像です。基部に彫刻された潰れたバラはオルシーニ家の紋章であり、この地の古い所有権を示しています。 マンマロッキは、実際、「個人の邸宅の入り口」に立っています。この邸宅はオルシーニ家の所有でしたが、現在はデル・ガッロ・ディ・ロッチョジーネ侯爵家の所有となっています。邸宅の平面図や立面図の説明はありません。

Viterbo lived its period of major splendor and power in the 13th century when it was chosen as the seat of the papacy instead of Rome, where powerful warring families made life too dangerous. Eight different popes lived in Viterbo making it is similar to Vatican City and Avignon in France. The longest papal conclave in history happened here from 1 December 1268 to 1 September 1271. Following Pope Clement IV's death, infighting between cardinals and political pressure led to a 34-month deadlock. The cardinals were locked up cum clave (hence the word conclave) inside the palace’s large Conclave Hall. In desperation the town’s population, who were feeding them and their entourages, eventually reduced the cardinals’ food and wine supplies, trying to speed up the election. Time wore on and they finally decided to remove the roof of the palace: in order to help the Holy Spirit come down and illuminate them, it was quipped. That worked.

I only passed through this town, but I regret not having stopped there

Beautiful village with a lot of history

nice crossing point

An impressive entrance gate. The train ride appears to be no longer in use. It's a shame, perhaps it's no longer maintained.

The Papal Palace in Viterbo served as the Vatican for the 24 years of the thirteenth century when the papacy moved there due to ongoing unrest in Rome.
