Document Summary
Wanted to be shown with a sword on his tomb: the coming together of having military ambitions and being a spiritual leader, some complained about this dual contrasting role. Was in milan with leonardo before he came to rome. Tempietto, as illustrated as a model (among classical buildings), serlio, 1545. Grand, controlled terraces showed mastery over landscape. Actual theatre built here for performances as well as ramps staircases, and long views out over the landscape which showed the domination over nature and clearly, metaphorically. Rebuilding of the church of st peters. Not completed within the 10 years of his reign. Plans for st. peter"s, rome (overlaid on the plan for old st. peter"s), 1506. High altar still needed to be in the center; over peter"s bones. Cardosso, medal with bramante"s plan for saint peter"s, rome 1506. A monument to be seen from afar. Classical building with towers supporting giant domes risen up. Imposing grandeur of the church/papacy as rome reborn.
