Rome, First City In Italy,
Live Much In the Past
Too Busy Speeding Money On Its Ruins to Have Any Time Left to Spend On
the City of the Present
By La HEINE HELEN" BAKER.
Fewer Children, Better
Developed, Is the Need
THJE last census shows that Naplas
still stands ahead of all Italian
cities in population. Rome has
liad half a century In which to Justify
Its selection as the capital of new It
aly. Has it failed? 1 think the an
swer must be in the affirmative. Of
course in one sense the choice of Rome
was inevitable, who could think of
Rome relegated to the role of second
Place in the government of Italy?
Anyone who .has lived in Florence
most regret that the experiment of
i making that city the capital was
. abandoned. Florence would have been
I an ideal Italian Wasaington, as the
center of government. The history of
j Florence justifies its selection except
! against Rome, while its art traditions
rendered it as worthy of the highest
honor as any city could show.
Florence probably had a lucky es
cape. It can now continue to be the
shrine of beauty It always was. Hod
era conditions have touched it little,
let it remain the gem of cities, holy
and dedicated to painting and sculp
ture. There are no streets In the
world like the Florentine streets with
their great openair sculptures. Now
that Michael Angelo's immense nude
David again dazzles us with its white
marble poetry in the open market
place, we can well believe that Flor
ence is herself again. David was re
moved (wisely I think) to the indoor
c!t- museum. The new replica, unlike
its fig-leaved confrere in the beautiful
Piazza Michael Angela exactly imi
tates the original, and puts "shame to
shame" at the door of the old palace
where Savanarola spent his last night.
Old Street Renamed.
Before I leave Florence, I must
mention that the principle street Is to
be renamed "Via Roma." Originally
t was "Arhcblshop street" Two
years ago, in a fit of socialist enthu
siasm, it was renamed "Via Francesco
Fe-rer." Now it is more soberly re
christened by common consent.
.Rome is a ruin: that is the impor
tart fact about Rome. It is a most
VKturfSf-ne ruin and nobody wants its
ru.ns remc-ved. But ruins do noi at an
hflrmonb.o with the needs of a great
' nv The imperial Romans, when
Rome -. at Ita r.nnith. did not have to
I lacmon their cltv in accordance with
' the ruins of earlier buildings, although t
we know there were such ruins men.
' TKa.. ,i.a. dAatrnvMi thf ruins or
built new temples on their sites. The
historical value of Rome's ruins rte
manHo tiiofr fa pAf ni nreservatlon. In-
eent Trajan's column and an Immense
space in which broken pillars of great
antiquity occupy a leisurly roominness
in the midst of a living city which can
hardly find a place to breathe. The
living sacrifice for the dead In a. city
that aims at modernity.
In the metropolis of the Caesars
there are such numerous trophies of
king, warrior, pope and statesman of
the great period of Rome that it
seems blasphemous to build new mon
uments. The gigantic Victor Emanuel
I. .memorial looks down on the capltol.
which it completely dwarfs. This me
morial can be seen irom very .point
in Rome and from every hill within
miles ground. From far Tre Fontane
(the traditional place of the execution of
the apostle Paul) St Peters' itself is
hidden, but Victor Emanuel dominates
the horizon. From San Pietro Monto
rlo (where St. Peter was martyred)
the capltol barely shows its basilica,
bat Victor Emanuel can be seen in all
its hideous gilt Marcus Aurellus, on
horseback, still stands guard on the
hill where the geese cackled to save
Rome. He looks on the dignified old
city, his glorious charger still -bearing
its precious burden; the noblest and
best king earth ever prodnced. But
if you wtnt to see Aurellus you. must
climb the capltol hill, pass toe she
wolf (still kept to commemorate the
wolf which suckled Romulus and Re
mus), and stand near the Tarpean
rock, from which malefactors once
were thrown. To see Victor Emanuel
well you cannot avoid the sight go
where you will.
Statue of. Aureliu.i.
By the way, that statue of Aurellus
has a history. The column of Aurellus,
which still stands In the Piazza Colon
na, was diverted from its true signifi
cance. A pope placed a statue of St
Paul on its capital hoping presumably
thus to sentence the greatest pagan to
oblivion. In the meanwhile the pres
ent capitol statue of Marcus Aurellus,
bearing no name, was ignorantly sup
posed to represent the Christian em
peror. Constsntine. As such . it was
preserved for centuries at the papal
palace, until new times brought sim
ultaneously greater knowledge and
greater charity.
The popes preserved much that was
fine of ancient Rome, particularly the
Pantheon and Colosseum, which they
consecrated to Christian uses, thereby
continuing the general transition of
ideas. You have "only to look inside
t. Peter's and see the perfect Venuses
and Jovea with nothing changed but
their names. The Saint Veronica of
St. PeterV is the finest statue of a
heathen goddess in any Christian
church It bears no cross, its attitude
Is a dance, she is sinirinsr. There is no
ecclesiastical background to it and U
must shock many a sensitive ascetic
by its magnificent proportions. The
nude fleshy angels am the Stuart tomb
In the m cathedral are a more mod
ern Instance of a similar tendency.
