san Martino al Cimino, le casette dei sudditi di Donna Olimpia Pamphilj (manortiz)
San Martino al Cimino è un piccolo borgo che deve la sua importanza a Donna Olimpia Pamphili,(Olimpia Maidalchini, nota come Donna Olimpia o anche, popolarmente, la Pimpaccia (Viterbo, 26 maggio 1591 – San Martino al Cimino, 26 settembre 1657), cognata di papa Innocenzo X. Donna Olimpia era talmente affezionata a questo borgo che ricevette il titolo di Principessa di San Martino al Cimino; infatti, entrando nel paese, si legge sotto il nome del borgo la scritta “Principato”. La nobildonna affidò al Borromini la ristrutturazione architettonica del borgo, e l'artista si occupò anche dei lavori nell'abbazia cistercense risalente al XII secolo.
Mentre veniva edificato il palazzo nobiliare, i costruttori del palazzo di corte acquistarono le case, costruite man a mano attorno ad esso, a riscatto: è uno dei primi esempi di costruzione pianificata. Le casette ospitavano i sudditi all'interno del borgo che era dotato di tutto il necessario, osterie e intrattenimenti, spacci e botteghe. La principessa era molto generosa e aveva esentato i sudditi dal pagamento delle tasse; inoltre, stabilì una dote per le ragazze che dopo il matrimonio avessero scelto di rimanere nel paese.

Places to see in ( Rome - Italy ) Palazzo Doria Pamphilj
Palazzo Pamphilj, also spelled Palazzo Pamphili, is a palace facing onto the Piazza Navona in Rome. It was built between 1644 and 1650. Since 1920 the palace has housed the Brazilian Embassy in Italy, and in October 1960 it became the property of the Federative Republic of Brazil in a purchase negotiation led by Ambassador Hugo Gouthier de Oliveira Gondim.
In 1644, Cardinal Giambattista Pamphilj of the powerful Pamphilj family, who already owned a palace between the Piazza Navona and the Via Pasquino, became Pope Innocent X. With this election came the desire for a larger more magnificent building to reflect his family’s increased prestige. Further land was bought, the architect Girolamo Rainaldi received the commission and construction began in 1646. The new project was to incorporate some existing buildings, including the former palace of the Pamphilj (whose decoration by Agostino Tassi was partially preserved) and the Palazzo Cibo.
In 1647, the Baroque architect Francesco Borromini was consulted about the design and he made a series of new proposals for the palace. However, the prevailing preference was for Rainaldi’s more staid and conservative design. Borromini’s limited contributions included the stucco decoration of the salone (the main room) and design of the Gallery, located at first floor level between the rest of the palace and the church of St. Agnese next door. The Gallery extends through the width of the block with a large Serliana window at either end.
Between 1651 and 1654, the painter Pietro da Cortona was commissioned to decorate the Gallery vault. His secular fresco cycle depicts scenes from the life of Aeneas, the legendary founder of Rome, as recounted by Virgil. The Pamphili claim to be descended from Aeneas. Unlike the large spacious volume of the Palazzo Barberini in which he had painted his fresco celebrating the reign of Innocent’s predecessor, Urban VIII Barberini, the Pamphilj Gallery was long with a low vault which meant that a single viewpoint to see the frescoes was not possible. So Cortona devised a series of scenes around a central painted framed ‘Apotheosis of Aeneas’ into the Olympian heavens. The elaborate doorframes regularly spaced along the longer walls of the Gallery display a combination of motifs typically used by Borromini and by Cortona
The new palazzo became the home of Innocent's widowed and unpopular sister-in-law Olimpia Maidalchini, who was his confidante and advisor and, more scurrilously, reputed to be his mistress. She was the mother of Camillo Pamphilj, the one time cardinal, who through his marriage came into the possession of the Palazzo Aldobrandini, now known as the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj.
Confusingly, until the unification of the Doria and Pamphilj surnames both palazzi were known as Palazzo Pamphilj, or in the case of today's Doria Pamphilj sometimes Palazzo Pamfilio. Both spellings Pamphilj and Pamphili are in common Italian usage, even though the family prefers Pamphilj.

La Pimpaccia de Piazza Navona
Durante il pontificato di Innocenzo X (1644-1655) al secolo Giovan Battista Pamphili, Olimpia Maidalchini, vedova di Pamphilio Pamphili fratello del Papa, imperversava a Roma amministrando i beni della Chiesa e sostituendosi al cognato nelle decisioni di ordine sociale e politico. Riverita come una regina, fu l’ideatrice della sistemazione di Piazza Navona e del palazzo della famiglia Pamphili dove risiedeva. Questa donna ambiziosa, scaltra e autoritaria, chiamata dal popolo Pimpaccia, era frequente bersaglio dei motti di Pasquino, la voce di Roma. La nostra commedia si svolge nel periodo in cui Donna Olimpia accarezzava il sogno di vedere il figlio Camillo, un giorno, seduto sul soglio pontificio.

SUMMARY
=======
Pope Innocent X (Latin: Innocentius X; 6 May 1574 – 7 January 1655), born Giovanni Battista Pamphilj (or Pamphili), was Pope from 15 September 1644 to his death in 1655.Born in Rome of a family from Gubbio in Umbria who had come to Rome during the pontificate of Pope Innocent IX, Pamphili was trained as a lawyer and graduated from the Collegio Romano. He followed a conventional cursus honorum, following his uncle Girolamo Pamphili as auditor of the Rota, and like him, attaining the position of Cardinal-Priest of Sant'Eusebio, in 1629. Before becoming Pope, Pamphili served as a papal diplomat to Naples, France, and Spain.
Pamphili succeeded Pope Urban VIII (1623–44) on 15 September 1644 as Pope Innocent X, after a contentious papal conclave that featured a rivalry between French and Spanish factions.
Innocent X was one of the most politically shrewd pontiffs of the era, greatly increasing the temporal power of the Holy See. Major political events in which he was involved included the English Civil War, conflicts with French church officials over financial fraud issues, and hostilities with the Duchy of Parma related to the First War of Castro. In terms of theological events, Innocent X issued a papal bull condemning the beliefs of Jansenism.
