The Teatro Ambra Jovinelli (literally "Ambra Jovinelli Theater"), formerly known just as Teatro Jovinelli, is a theatre located in Rome, Italy. It was founded by the theater organizer Giuseppe Jovinelli, who intended to build a theater devoted to variety and comic representations which had a luxurious face and which appeared stylistically rich and noble.Built in the ancient Esquilino quarter, construction work began in 1906 and the inauguration took place in 1909.

2006 Rome Metro crash

On 17 October 2006 at 9:37am local time (07:37 UTC), one Rome Metro train ploughed into another train as it unloaded passengers at the Vittorio Emanuele underground station in the city centre, killing a 30-year-old Italian woman, named Alessandra Lisi, and injuring about 145 others, of which a dozen were reported to be in life-threatening conditions. The whole Line A was immediately shut down and the area above the station, the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, was cordoned off by police as rescue workers erected a field hospital, where dozens of people were treated. The injured were gradually transported to various Rome hospitals for further treatment, with the Complesso Ospedaliero San Giovanni - Addolorata, being the nearest, receiving most of them. While no official cause of the accident has been released, officials have excluded terrorism as a cause for the incident. Several passengers have reported that the driver of the moving train failed to stop at a red signal and that the train had been running strangely at previous stations. A senior driver has disclosed that the moving train had previously had braking problems on a test drive.A possible explanation of the accident may lie in a misunderstanding between the driver and the control centre, which would have authorized the train to proceed to the "next station", meaning a station closed to the public (Manzoni), the last before Vittorio Emanuele station, while the driver would have understood it to mean the next working station, that is, Vittorio Emanuele itself.

Temple of Minerva Medica (nymphaeum)
Temple of Minerva Medica (nymphaeum)

The Temple of Minerva Medica is a ruined nymphaeum of Imperial Rome which dates to the 4th century. It is located between the Via Labicana and Aurelian Walls and just inside the line of the Anio Vetus. Once part of the Horti Liciniani on the Esquiline Hill, it now faces the modern Via Giolitti. It was once thought to be the temple to Minerva Medica ("Minerva the Doctor") mentioned by Cicero and other sources. The decagonal structure in opus latericium is relatively well preserved, though the full dome collapsed in 1828. It is surrounded on three sides with other chambers added at a later date. There is no mention of it in ancient literature or inscriptions. The structure represents a transition in Roman secular architecture between the octagonal dining room of the Domus Aurea and the dome of the Pantheon, and the architecture of nearby Byzantine churches. The diameter of the hall was about 24 meters, and the height was 33 meters — important from the structural point of view, especially for the ribs in the dome. In the interior, there are nine niches besides the entrance; and above these are ten corresponding round-arched windows. Both the interior and exterior walls were once covered with marble.In Flavio Biondo's 15th-century Roma Instaurata, these ruins are called Le Galluzze, a name of uncertain meaning that had been applied earlier to some ruins near the basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. Its misidentification as the Republican-era temple dates to the 17th century, based on the incorrect impression that the Athena Giustiniani had been found there.
