(1715-1731), located on a high hill and cities defining shape. In the plan the temple reminds an ancient Roman Pantheon: центрическое the building with a monumental portico is topped by a dome.

To the central part of a powerful dvortsovo-park complex — to a two-story oval hall with a dome — conducts a number of court yard with narrow avenues. Behind a hall the park is located. In Rome in XVIII century built not so much and in an original way, as earlier. In ensemble of the well-known fountain of Trevi and palaces Weed (1732-1762), architect Nikkolo Salvi, sculptors of Petro Brachchi and Giovanni Battista Maini) the big sizes of architectural details and sculptural furniture make impression not monumentalisms, and bulkinesses are faster. In this complex already there is no grace of the best monuments of baroque. And still in the Roman architecture of late baroque there was originally fine construction is a magnificent ladder on the area of Spain (1721 — 1725, architects of Alessandro Spekki and Franchesko де Sanktis). Masters should connect space of the small area of Spain to a temple of Santa-Trinita деи to Monti located on a high hill.

On wide and low steps it is very convenient to rise and go down. This ladder visually increases the sizes of the area and helps to feel, as the strict facade of church is good.
National colours of Italy, has appeared for the first time in kingdom Emilija on January, 7th, 1797 when the parliament of Tsispadansky republic, under the offer of deputy Juseppe Kompanoni, has decided:“ ... Use of a three-coloured green-white-red Tsispadansky flag becomes universal. The same colours should be present on Tsispadansky to a cockarde.”But why these three colours are represented on a national flag of Italy? The matter is that in 1796 in Italy occupied by victorious Napoleonic army, numerous Iakobinian republics which have arisen on a place it is feudal states, almost all used flags with three strips of the identical size and some variations of colours (on the sample of French model 1790). The Italian military groups created for support of army of Bonaparte, had banners of the same kind. Moreover, on regimental banners of the Lombardijsky legion, already there were white, red and green colours which since old time have strongly taken roots in this region. Really, white and red colours existed on the ancient arms of the Milan commune (a red cross on a white background) while green, till 1782, was colour of the form of Milan municipal guards. The same colours have appeared, subsequently, on banners of the Italian legion which soldiers have been called from the earths Emilija and Romagna. Most likely it also has served as the reason of that the above-stated three colours began to be used on a flag of Tsispadansky republic. In the centre of a white strip the republic arms – a quiver with four arrows, decorated with military trophies and surrounded with a wreath from laurel leaves have been represented.
But the work on which Pound concentrated all his ambitions was the Cantos, which proceed, as we know, in a series of aphorisms, repetitions, pauses, torrents and babblings, like a whirling and incandescent skein which often tangles into knots of unintelligible allusions. Only in the Pisan Cantos, written in the prison cage, does the magnificent confusion dissolve into the authenticity of suffering. Even if the images are fragmentary and formless, or the mixing of sources more and more arbitrary, here for the first time is the poet falling back on his failure and contemplating the ruins of his own pride to arrive at moving expressions of loneliness.
