Episode 28: The Ponte Sant'Angelo, Bernini, & the Stuff of Angels
from Stuff about Things: An Art History Podcast · host Lindsay Sheedy
Columns, thorns, and superscriptions, oh my! This episode is a deep-dive--not into the Tiber River but rather the almost 2000 year history of the Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy. It includes background on the bridge's ancient past, a little dip into the biography of Gianlorenzo Bernini, and even an excursus on the bridge's appearance in cinematic masterpieces (ahem...)such as Angels & Demons. Come for the angels, stay in spite of my professed desire to become enmeshed in a murder-mystery situation.Music credits:"Success Dream" (Hooksounds.com)"Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G, Movement I (Allegro), BWV 1049"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
