Rome, Borgo district by Roesler (1845-1907)

It is located in the floodplain area of Ager Vaticanus between the River Tiber and the Vatican and Janicolo hills. It was a zone subject to malaria. There were several buildings connected to the pilgrims who visited the Holy See, like the Palazzo dei Penitenzieri where penitents confessed and the Santo Spirito Hospital where they were treated. An important fire is represented in a fresco painting by Giulio Romano, in the Apostolic Palace. The opening of the Avenue of the Conciliation (Via della Conciliazione) cut the area in half.


Situa-se na zona alagadiça do Ager Vaticanus entre o rio Tibre e os montes Vaticano e Janícolo. Era zona de malária. Possuiu vários edifícios ligados aos peregrinos que visitavam a Santa Sé, como o Palazzo dei Penitenzieri onde os penitentes se confessavam e o Hospital Santo Spirito onde eram tratados. Importante incêndio encontra-se representado no Palácio Apostólico num fresco de Giulio Romano. A abertura da Avenida da Conciliação cortou-o a meio.
