Viterbo (Vitèrbe in dialetto viterbese) è un comune italiano di 64.548 abitanti capoluogo dell'omonima provincia nel Lazio settentrionale, o Alto Lazio.

 

La città ha un vasto centro storico di origine medioevale cinto da mura, circondato da quartieri moderni, tranne che a sud-ovest, dove si estendono zone archeologiche e termali (necropoli di Castel d'Asso, sorgente del Bullicame). Viterbo è nota come la "Città dei Papi": nel XIII secolo fu infatti sede pontificia e per circa 24 anni il Palazzo dei Papi di Viterbo ospitò o vi furono eletti vari Papi. Papa Alessandro IV decise nel 1257 il trasferimento della Curia Papale a Viterbo a causa del clima ostile presente a Roma; il soggiorno papale durò fino a quando papa Martino IV, appena eletto (22 febbraio 1281), allontanò definitivamente la corte pontificia da Viterbo.

 

La città è famosa per il trasporto della Macchina di Santa Rosa, tradizionale e spettacolare manifestazione che si svolge ogni anno il 3 settembre in onore della Santa patrona: una struttura alta 30 metri e del peso di 52 quintali, viene portata a spalla da cento uomini, i facchini, per le vie abbuiate della città.

 

A Viterbo hanno sede l'Università della Tuscia, istituita il 18 aprile 1979, il comando nazionale dell'Aviazione dell'Esercito, la Scuola Sottufficiali dell'Esercito e la Scuola Marescialli dell'Aeronautica Militare.

Situata sulle prime pendici settentrionali dei Monti Cimini e distesa a ovest verso la pianura maremmana, la città sorge a 386 metri sul livello del mare.

Origini

 

Si hanno tracce d'insediamenti neolitici ed eneolitici e qualche segno etrusco nella lontana storia di Viterbo, ma molti storici sono portati a credere che nel periodo etrusco l'insediamento non raggiungesse lo stato di vicus, a differenza degli storici quattrocenteschi che supponevano una tetrapoli etrusca, fuorviati dalla sigla FAVL che secondo le teorie di frate Annio, era formata dalle iniziali di quattro villaggi (Fanum, Arbanum, Vetulonia, Longula).

 

Probabilmente dopo la conquista romana fu costituito in stazione militare, chiamato Castrum Herculis per la presenza in loco di un tempio dedicato all'eroe mitologico (il leone simbolo di Viterbo deriva da questo aneddoto).

 

La città medievale tuttavia trae origine da un "castrum", una fortificazione longobarda posta al confine tra i loro possessi nella Tuscia e il ducato bizantino di Roma: il colle di San Lorenzo, ricordato nella donazione di Sutri tra i possessi che Liutprando promette alla Chiesa nel 729, fu fortificato nel 773 da Desiderio, nell'ultimo periodo della sua contesa con Carlo Magno. Dell'852 un documento papale che riconosce il Castrum Viterbii proprietà delle terre di San Pietro, mentre Ottone I annovera il castello tra i possessi della Chiesa.

 

Nell'XI secolo l'incremento demografico contribuì alla nascita di nuclei abitativi fuori dal castrum, e, attorno al 1090, a un primo tratto di mura; nel 1099 la scelta dei primi consoli sancisce il passaggio a istituzioni comunali. È il XII secolo il periodo in cui Viterbo, libero comune, si assicura il possesso di numerosi castelli: in tal senso la protezione di Federico I (presente nella città nel 1162), e il suo riconoscimento del comune viterbese, conferisce legittimità alla sua politica di espansione. Nel 1172 viene distrutta la città di Ferento il cui simbolo (una palma) viene aggiunto a quello di Viterbo (il leone) emblema tuttora vigente, attorno al 1190 viene assediata Corneto (odierna Tarquinia), l'imperatore attacca Roma con l'esercito viterbese. Il districtus del comune aumenta considerevolmente.

 

Ulteriore elemento che accresce il prestigio e l'importanza politica di Viterbo, è la sua elevazione a cattedra vescovile nel 1192 ai danni di Tuscania, la cui precedente predominanza nella Tuscia romana viene meno.

 

All'inizio del XIII secolo la città viene inserita nell'orbita papale, soprattutto con il disegno di papa Innocenzo III, che tentò di costituire uno stato territoriale: Viterbo nel 1207 ospitò il Parlamento degli stati della Chiesa. Tuttavia, insofferente per la presenza papale, la città invocò la protezione di Federico II: si apre così fino al 1250 circa un periodo di lotte interne tra guelfi (la famiglia dei Gatti) e ghibellini (i Tignosi). Si inserisce in questo contesto di aspre lotte civili e religiose la vita della più illustre figlia di Viterbo: Santa Rosa da Viterbo, che visse tra il 1233 e il 1251. Si ricordano non solo suoi miracoli in vita e post mortem, ma anche, benché fosse giovanissima morendo ad appena 18 anni, la sua coraggiosa predicazione contro gli eretici e i ghibellini, che animò i viterbesi a resistere contro l'assalto dell'esercito di Federico II.

 

Il fallito assedio di Federico II nel 1243 con la grande vittoria dei viterbesi, guidati dal cardinale Raniero Capocci, sull'esercito imperiale e il conseguente successo dei Guelfi, sancisce per la seconda metà del XIII secolo la definitiva politica filo-papale: la famiglia dei Gatti monopolizza le cariche municipali e i pontefici scelgono Viterbo come sede papale. L'episodio discriminante, che attira l'attenzione su Viterbo, è l'elezione papale del 1268-1271 che portò Gregorio X al soglio pontificio: i cardinali che dovevano eleggere il successore di Clemente IV si riunivano inutilmente da quasi 20 mesi, quando il popolo viterbese sdegnato da tanto indugio, sotto la guida del Capitano del popolo Raniero Gatti, giunse alla drastica decisione di chiudere a chiave i cardinali nella sala dell'elezione (clausi cum clave), nutrirli a pane e acqua, e scoperchiare il tetto lasciandoli esposti alle intemperie, finché non avessero eletto il nuovo Papa; alla fine i cardinali -pressati anche dalle continue rampogne di Bonaventura da Bagnoregio- scelsero il piacentino Tedaldo Visconti, che era arcidiacono di Liegi (quindi neanche prete), ed in quei giorni si trovava in Terra Santa per la nona crociata. Il nuovo papa prese il nome di Gregorio X, (1272), e, vista la bontà della "clausura", stabilì con la costituzione apostolica Ubi Periculum che anche le future elezioni papali avvenissero in una sede chiusa a chiave: era nato il Conclave! Dal 1261 al 1281 in Viterbo si tennero ben cinque conclavi. Nell'ultimo di questi il popolo, sobillato da Carlo d'Angiò, irruppe nella sala del Conclave e mise al carcere duro il cardinale Matteo Rubeo Orsini, protodiacono. Il pontefice che uscì eletto da questo conclave, funestato dall'invasione del popolo viterbese, fu un francese, il cardinale Simon de Brion, proprio come voleva Carlo d'Angiò. Il nuovo papa Martino IV, appena eletto, anziché ringraziare i viterbesi che, mettendo in difficoltà i cardinali della famiglia Orsini, avevano favorito la sua elezione, lancerà sulla città di Viterbo un pesante interdetto e l'abbandonerà in fretta e furia con tutta la corte pontificia, senza peraltro tornare a Roma, come molti auspicavano, ma recandosi a Orvieto. Si chiude con questo spiacevole episodio il periodo aureo di Viterbo.

 

I papi non verranno più a risiedere in questo splendido comune dell'alto Lazio, anche se diversi pontefici soggiorneranno comunque in città, talora per periodi piuttosto lunghi; ne sono esempi papa Urbano V,che si fermò a Viterbo alcuni mesi tra il 1367 ed il 1370[2] durante l'infruttuoso tentativo di riportare a Roma la sede papale, e papa Niccolò V, che nel 1454 fece addirittura costruire dal Rossellino in zona Bullicame un bel Palazzo termale (andato purtroppo perduto quasi completamente) per venire in città a curare le sue gravi malattie. Durante la stabile presenza della curia papale a Viterbo, la città aveva raggiunto il suo massimo splendore, sia economico, quale centro posto lungo vie di comunicazione importanti, come la Via Cassia e la Francigena, che architettonico, con l'edificazione di edifici pubblici municipali, torri, chiese, nel fiorire sia dello stile romanico che dello stile gotico, che i cistercensi avevano inaugurato nel luogo con l'Abbazia di San Martino al Cimino.

 

L'esilio avignonese dei papi contribuì alla decadenza della città e al riaprirsi delle lotte interne. L'effimera ricostituzione del Patrimonio di S. Pietro del cardinale Egidio Albornoz, non impedì ai nobili Gatti e ai prefetti di Vico di imporsi, con istituzioni ormai di tipo signorile, a Viterbo. Nei primi decenni del XVI secolo Viterbo ospitò nuovamente, e spesso, papi, da Giulio II a Leone X, grazie all'opera straordinaria del cardinale agostiniano Egidio da Viterbo. A metà del Cinquecento la città conobbe un nuovo, ancorché breve, periodo di fervore culturale e spirituale per la presenza del cardinale Reginald Pole, che riuniva a Viterbo il suo celebre circolo, di cui faceva parte, tra gli altri, la marchesa Vittoria Colonna ed alle cui riunioni intervenne spesso Michelangelo.

Età moderna

 

Per Viterbo è un periodo di scarsa vitalità, economica e culturale: dalla fine del XVI secolo la città segue le sorti dello Stato della Chiesa e vede tramontare del tutto la vocazione internazionale che aveva assunto nei secoli del basso medioevo.

 

Occupata nel 1798 dalle truppe francesi del generale Championnet, intervenuto a difesa della Repubblica romana, si ribellò, imprigionando la guarnigione lasciatavi dai francesi, quando nel mese di novembre le truppe del generale austriaco Mack e del re di Napoli Ferdinando IV di Borbone entrarono in Roma. Cacciate tuttavia queste poco dopo dallo Championnet, Viterbo fu attaccata dalle truppe del generale francese François Étienne Kellermann, al quale dovette arrendersi dopo che il medesimo aveva sconfitto nelle vicinanze i 6.000 uomini dell' emigré francese, Roger de Damas.[3].

 

Nel 1867, con la colonna garibaldina Acerbi, fu testimone della sfortunata Campagna dell'Agro Romano per la liberazione di Roma, conclusasi a Mentana il 3 novembre con la sconfitta di Garibaldi da parte delle truppe pontificie e francesi.

 

Con l'unità d'Italia, aggregato quasi tutto il Lazio nella provincia di Roma, Viterbo perse la qualifica di capoluogo, che le fu restituita solo nel 1929 con il riordino delle circoscrizioni provinciali, attuato da Benito Mussolini.

 

In questa occasione però, aspirava al rango di provincia anche Civitavecchia ma Viterbo riuscì ad avere la meglio, incrementando il proprio territorio e numero di abitanti, sopprimendo e inglobando, con l'aiuto del governo, i comuni di Bagnaia, San Martino al Cimino, Grotte Santo Stefano, ed altri piccoli centri limitrofi. (vedi comuni italiani soppressi).

Dal XIII al XVI secolo, Viterbo è stata sede di una comunità ebraica, fino al decreto di espulsione del 1569.

Il Palazzo dei Papi

 

Il centro di Viterbo offre numerosissime oltre che importanti opere d'arte. La più famosa è certo il Palazzo dei Papi, costruito fra il 1255 e il 1266 sul colle di San Lorenzo per proteggere il pontefice, con la celebre loggia formata in un solo lato da sette archi sorretti da esili colonnine binate che si intrecciano formando una elegante trabeazione. Dalla loggia si entra nella grande Sala del Conclave, teatro della famosa elezione di papa Gregorio X (vedi sopra).

 

Il Duomo di San Lorenzo

 

Accanto al Palazzo dei Papi sorge anche il Duomo, dedicato a San Lorenzo. Il Duomo fu eretto in stile romanico nel corso del XII secolo sul terreno ove era sita una piccola chiesa dell'VIII secolo dedicata a San Lorenzo, a sua volta edificata sulle rovine di un tempio pagano dedicato ad Ercole, ma la sua facciata risale solo al 1570, quando fu rifatta in stile rinascimentale su disposizione dell'allora vescovo della diocesi e futuro cardinale Giovanni Francesco Gambara. Il Duomo ha subito notevoli danni durante un bombardamento della città da parte degli alleati nel 1944. Il restauro successivo ha restituito parte della struttura romanica preesistente ai rimaneggiamenti eseguiti durante il periodo barocco. Il campanile trecentesco è formato nella parte alta da strati segnati da doppie bifore e da fasce policrome orizzontali.

Lo spazio interno è articolato in tre navate separate da due file di colonne culminanti in eleganti capitelli. Il pavimento è in stile cosmatesco. Nella zona absidale della navata sinistra vi è il sepolcro di papa Giovanni XXI (†1277) e poco distante è sita una pregevole tavola del XII secolo raffigurante la Madonna della carbonara di stile bizantino.[4] La leggenda dice che nella chiesa sia stato sepolto anche papa Alessandro IV (†1261), ma che la sua salma sia stata spostata successivamente in luogo segreto, ma sempre nella chiesa, per sottrarla a violazioni da parte dei suoi nemici.[5]

 

Chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova

 

La chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova è una delle più antiche di Viterbo: risale, infatti, al 1080. Fu edificata sui resti di un tempio dedicato a Giove Cimino, la cui testa scolpita (che molti credettero in passato raffigurasse Gesù) si sporge sopra il portale. In un angolo esterno dell'edificio, figura un pulpito in pietra cui si accedeva tramite una scala di legno. Da esso, secondo la leggenda, avrebbe predicato, nel 1266, San Tommaso d'Aquino: in realtà le ridottissime dimensioni del pulpito non risultano compatibili con la ben nota mole del grande santo domenicano, il cui ciclo di prediche del 1266, voluto da papa Clemente IV, si tenne con ogni probabilità dentro la chiesa. All'interno è conservata una collezione di pittura viterbese del periodo che va dal XIV al XVI secolo. Nella navata di sinistra, in fondo, si trova un pregevole trittico bizantino del 1180 di cuoio che raffigura il Cristo. Le navate laterali presentano un soffitto retto da capriate lignee e decorato da formelle in ceramica. Nel Battistero da notare l'affresco con i Santi Giovanni Battista, Girolamo e Lorenzo, di Antonio del Massaro da Viterbo, detto il Pastura, affine per alcuni aspetti ad Antoniazzo Romano e per altri al Perugino. A un lato dell'altare maggiore, è posto un ingresso all'antica cripta paleocristiana. Una scala posta all'esterno dell'abside conduce ad un chiostro, erroneamente definito "longobardo". Il chiostro è rimasto sepolto e sconosciuto fino agli anni ottanta (non esistevano riferimenti o testimonianze che ne suggerissero l'esistenza), finché il crollo di un'ala del refettorio non ha condotto alla sua scoperta.

 

La città medievale

 

Poco distante da piazza del Duomo si estende il vecchio quartiere medievale, conservato quasi integro, di San Pellegrino: qui si incontrano numerose case dotate di profferlo, la scala a vista tipica dell'architettura viterbese. Interessante anche la piazza del Plebiscito, meglio conosciuta dai Viterbesi come "Piazza del Comune" dove hanno sede il Municipio e la Prefettura. Alla fine del Corso, in cima alla salita che parte da Piazza Verdi, sorge la chiesa di Santa Rosa, edificata su una piccola altura accanto alla cosiddetta "Casa della Patrona di Viterbo". Degni di menzione anche la Piazza della Rocca, Piazza Fontana Grande, la torre del Branca detta della Bella Galliana vicino alla Porta Faul, le mura con le 2 porte principali (Porta Romana e Porta Fiorentina). Antichissima è la chiesa di San Silvestro.

 

Nella frazione di Bagnaia importantissima è la Villa Lante, definita dal Sitwell: One of the most beautiful places in the world.[6

 

Necropoli di Castel d'Asso

 

Fuori dal centro ma sempre nel territorio comunale importantissima è la Necropoli di Castel d'Asso, la prima ad essere scoperta cronologicamente, e si suppone a suo tempo la più vasta. A due chilometri da Viterbo, uno dei più notevoli esempi di arte rinascimentale italiana: la Basilica della Madonna della Quercia, primo monumento nazionale viterbese; sulla facciata maestosa si possono ammirare tre lunette di Andrea della Robbia, all'interno della chiesa pitture di fra Bartolomeo della Porta, soffitto a cassettoni della navata centrale, progettato da Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane, tempietto di Andrea Bregno.

History

Anna Maria Sacher

On the grounds of the demolished Kärntnertortheatre, directly opposite the newly opened imperial Court Opera, was built a Maison meuble. The restaurateur Eduard Sacher bought the house modeled on a Renaissance palace and opened in 1876, Hotel de l' Opera with the restaurant. The son of Franz Sacher, the inventor of the Sachertorte, had however already made ​​a name for himself as a restaurateur, and named the house quickly to Hotel Sacher .

He married 1880 the 21- year-old Anna Fuchs, who henceforth cooperated in the hotel and quickly took over the business because of her husband's deteriorating health . Edward died in 1892, and Anna Sacher now ran the hotel as so-called widow operation. Which at that time was an extremely emancipated woman with cigar and her beloved French Bulldog (in Vienna: " Sacher-Bully" ) was always to be found, continued the business with rigor, but also with kindness.

Anna Maria Sacher

On the grounds of the demolished Kärntnertortheatre, directly opposite the newly opened imperial Court Opera, was built a Maison meuble. The restaurateur Eduard Sacher bought the house modeled on a Renaissance palace and opened in 1876, Hotel de l' Opera with the restaurant. The son of Franz Sacher, the inventor of the Sachertorte, had however already made ​​a name for himself as a restaurateur, and named the house quickly to Hotel Sacher .

He married 1880 the 21- year-old Anna Fuchs, who henceforth cooperated in the hotel and quickly took over the business because of her husband's deteriorating health . Edward died in 1892, and Anna Sacher now ran the hotel as so-called widow operation. Which at that time was an extremely emancipated woman with cigar and her beloved French Bulldog (in Vienna: " Sacher-Bully" ) was always to be found, continued the business with rigor, but also with kindness. So they talked back then a company health insurance for their employees.

From the beginning, the Sacher was one of the best addresses in the city and in 1871 for the wine and delicatessen for kuk Appointed purveyor. This privilege his widow Anna was once again awarded after the death of Eduard Sacher. Before the opera you enjoyed the exquisite cuisine, they met in the legendary private rooms, and high-ranking representatives from politics always used the house for discreet meetings. The exclusive hotel was already a social institution . But then the economically difficult years after the First World War left its mark on the house.

Shortly before her death in 1930, Anna Sacher withdrew from the guide. Only after her death was announced that the hotel was heavily in debt and assets of the former was not much left. In 1934, finally came to bankruptcy.

From now on, the earned money should always flow back into the house. First time, the Sachertorte not only in their own premises were offered for consumption, but also sold on the street.

The house was again the meeting place for the growing company. But the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938 brought this to an abrupt end. Swastika flags flying in front of the hotel now.

History

Anna Maria Sacher

History

Anna Maria Sacher

On the grounds of the demolished Kärntnertortheatre, directly opposite the newly opened imperial Court Opera, was built a Maison meuble. The restaurateur Eduard Sacher bought the house modeled on a Renaissance palace and opened in 1876, Hotel de l' Opera with the restaurant. The son of Franz Sacher, the inventor of the Sachertorte, had however already made ​​a name for himself as a restaurateur, and named the house quickly to Hotel Sacher .

He married 1880 the 21- year-old Anna Fuchs, who henceforth cooperated in the hotel and quickly took over the business because of her husband's deteriorating health . Edward died in 1892, and Anna Sacher now ran the hotel as so-called widow operation. Which at that time was an extremely emancipated woman with cigar and her beloved French Bulldog (in Vienna: " Sacher-Bully" ) was always to be found, continued the business with rigor, but also with kindness. So they talked back then a company health insurance for their employees.

From the beginning, the Sacher was one of the best addresses in the city and in 1871 for the wine and delicatessen for kuk Appointed purveyor. This privilege his widow Anna was once again awarded after the death of Eduard Sacher. Before the opera you enjoyed the exquisite cuisine, they met in the legendary private rooms, and high-ranking representatives from politics always used the house for discreet meetings. The exclusive hotel was already a social institution . But then the economically difficult years after the First World War left its mark on the house.

Shortly before her death in 1930, Anna Sacher withdrew from the guide. Only after her death was announced that the hotel was heavily in debt and assets of the former was not much left. In 1934, finally came to bankruptcy.

The lawyer Hans Gürtler, his wife Poldi and the hotelier couple Joseph and Anna Siller acquired the now dilapidated house and renovated it extensively: from the heating system, electrics, running hot and cold water in all rooms has been adapted all the modern needs. From now on, the earned money should always flow back into the house. First time, the Sachertorte not only in their own premises were offered for consumption, but also sold on the street.

The house was again the meeting place for the growing company. But the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938 brought this to an abrupt end. Swastika flags flying in front of the hotel now. During the Second World War but the house remained largely spared from damage. Immediately after the liberation of Vienna it was occupied by Soviet troops, the Vienna first district around the hotel but was soon jointly managed by the Allies and thus it came six years into British hands.

1951 got the Siller family and Gürtler their property back. Josef Siller had died in 1949. Again, the hotel had to be extensively renovated. As well as new dining venues emerged at the Sacher. Hans Gürtler also laid the foundation for the art collection of the 19th Century. Anna Siller died in 1962, and the hotel was entirely in the possession of the Gürtler family. In 1967 the company received the National Award and since then the federal coat of arms may be used in commercial transactions. The son Rolf Gürtler took over the business in 1970, but shortly thereafter, in an accident, after which he succeeded his son Peter Gürtler.

10 Jahre Dyke March Berlin - "The Future is Dyke"

Traditionell einen Tag vor der CSD-Parade in Berlin feierte der kommerzfreie Dyke March am 21. Juli 2023 sein zehnjähriges Bestehen. Angeführt von einer Dykes-on-Bikes-Gruppe mit ungefähr 50 Motorrädern/rollern waren geschätzt 8.500 bis zu 10.000 Teilnehmende am Freitag auf der Straße in Kreuzberg, Treptow und Neukölln vertreten. Auch u.a. Carolin Emcke und Georgine Kellermann nahmen daran teil.

Gestartet wurde der March etwas verspätet gegen 18:30 Uhr vor dem Festsaal Kreuzberg und führte als Demonstrationsroute durch die Puschkinallee – Bouchéstraße – Karl Kunger Straße – Wildenbruchstraße – Sonnenallee – Pannierstraße – Glogauer Straße – Reichenberger Straße – Ohlauer Straße – Wiener Straße – Lausitzer Strabe – Skalitzer Straße – Schlesische Straße – Puschkinallee und zurück zum Festsaal Kreuzberg, wo die offizielle Dyke March Abschlussparty „Dykes Do It Better!“ startete.

Von mehreren Teilnehmenden hörte ich die Kritik, das die Route nicht sichtbar genug gewählt wurde. So wünschte man sich einen March in belebten und stark frequentierten Kiezen mit viel "Raum auf den Straßen", um tatsächlich "von außen" gesehen und gehört zu werden.

 

Die Parade für Lesben, Dykes, bisexuelle Frauen, transgeschlechtliche und nichtbinäre Menschen sowie ihre Unterstützer für lesbische Sichtbarkeit ist keine Konkurrenz, sondern soll eine Ergänzung zum CSD sein. „Weil auch beim CSD die Lesben oft ein bisschen untergehen. Es ist doch meistens eine sehr männlich dominierte Veranstaltung“, sagte Daniela Bergmann, Mitorganisatorin des Dyke Marchs gegenüber zur taz.

Diese große lesbische Präsenz an einem Tag des Jahres steht eine weitgehende Unsichtbarkeit im restlichen Jahr gegenüber. Sie zeigt sich auch darin, dass es in ganz Deutschland nur noch eine Lesbenbar ("La Gata" in Frankfurt am Main) und in Berlin mit der "Begine" nur eine einzige Frauenkneipe existieren. Im Vergleich zur reichhaltigen Ausgeh-Infrastruktur der Schwulen in der Hauptstadt ist das ein trauriges Bild. Natürlich gehen auch lesbische Frauen hier aus, man findet sie zum Beispiel in der "Möbel Olfe", im "Südblock" oder der "Oya Bar" – Orte, die sie allerdings nicht für sich haben.

 

Gegen 19:45 Uhr brach auf Höhe der Sonnenallee (ungefährer Beginn des Demonstrationszuges) ein heftiger Sturzregen mit Gewitter aus. Dies führte kurzzeitig dazu, das sich der Dyke March verdünnte, nach dem Regenguss aber formierte sich der March laut Manuela Kay (Dyke-March-Organisatorin) gegenüber queer.de wieder größtenteils und gelangte schließlich zu seinem Endpunkt am Festsaal Kreuzberg, wo im Anschluss die große Party stieg.

Es war ein sehr großer, bunter und starker Dyke March in diesem Jahr, der weitestgehend frei von Übergriffigkeiten blieb. Bleibt zu hoffen, das er sich im nächsten Jahr nochmals verdoppelt.

 

Kontrast zum transinklusiven Dyke March

Bei vergangenen Dyke Marches gab es wiederholt transfeindliche Vorfälle, dies blieb allerdings in diesem Jahr aus. Das mag vielleicht auch daran gelegen haben, weil sich im Juni laut Berlin Register unter dem Motto „Lesbisch nicht Queer!“ bei einem eigenen "Real Dyke March" in Berlin-Charlottenburg ca. 26 Menschen zusammen gefunden hatten, um sich gegen die sogenannten selbst ernannten „Trans-Trends“ abzugrenzen. Der "Real Dyke March" wird seit einigen Jahren als Gegenstück zum transinklusiven Berliner "Dyke March" organisiert.

Den "Real Dyke March" unterstützen immer wieder auch streitbare Feministen mit Hang zu Verschwörungsmythen, dem verbreiten von Fake-News und teils auch rechtsoffenen Positionen und Bezügen, die als transfeindliche Hetze vorwiegend im Internet aus der TERF-Szene verbreitet werden, um dann auf die Straße zu gelangen. Das Akronym TERF steht dabei für "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism" („Trans-ausschließender Radikalfeminismus“).

Große Unterstützung bekommt die TERF-Szene auch von der Frauenrechtlerin Alice Schwarzer, die sich nicht als Putin-Versteherin sehen will - sie sich aber 2014 auf ihrer Seite genau so positionierte ("Warum ich trotz allem Putin verstehe!") und die sich schon vor vielen Jahren zum Instrument russischer Propaganda gemacht hat, als sie z.B. 2016 einen Kommentar der Chefredakteurin Margarita Simonjan von Russia Today in der EMMA übernahm, der dort bis heute vorzufinden ist.

Anfang diesen Jahres veranstaltete sie mit Sahra Wagenknecht die putinfreundliche Großkundgebung "Manifest für den Frieden", bei der auch nicht wenige Rechte, Rechtsextreme und Antidemokraten vertreten waren. Schwarzer´s Positionen finden sich oft und gern in rechtskonservativen und rechtsextremen Medien wieder, wo ihre Meinungen für die entsprechende Community beworben wird.

 

Das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz ist in Teilen ein sehr kontrovers versucht diskutiertes Thema. Meinen Beobachtungen zufolge haben sich die Fronten unlängst durch die TERF-Szene radikal, aber auch auf beiden Seiten verhärtet. Darüber hinaus gibt es Kritiker -einzelner Positionen- in Bezug auf das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz, die sich nicht in der TERF-Szene bewegen und sich darin auch nicht verorten, aber keinen sachlichen Austausch in der Community mehr vorfinden. Damit ist m.E. die versuchte Spaltung aus der TERF-Szene in naher Zukunft vorprogrammiert. Was sich daran in Zukunft evtl. ändern kann oder wird, wird wohl erst die Zeit zeigen.

Yvan Salmon, dit Victor Noir, est un journaliste français dont le meurtre à l'âge de 21 ans suscita une forte indignation populaire et renforça l’hostilité envers le Second Empire.

 

Le 10 janvier 1870, il se présente avec son confrère Ulrich de Fonveille au 59 rue d’Auteuil, domicile de Pierre Bonaparte, cousin impulsif de Napoléon III, afin d’organiser en qualité de témoin un duel pour Paschal Grousset, son rédacteur en chef au sein du journal anti-bonapartiste la Marseillaise. Celui-ci s’estimait diffamé par un article de journal signé du prince. Du fait de la présence du patron de la Marseillaise, Henri Rochefort, qui vient lui aussi avec des témoins demander réparation à Bonaparte, la rencontre tourne mal. Le prince tire un coup de pistolet et Victor Noir s’écroule mortellement blessé.

History

Anna Maria Sacher

On the grounds of the demolished Kärntnertortheatre, directly opposite the newly opened imperial Court Opera, was built a Maison meuble. The restaurateur Eduard Sacher bought the house modeled on a Renaissance palace and opened in 1876, Hotel de l' Opera with the restaurant. The son of Franz Sacher, the inventor of the Sachertorte, had however already made ​​a name for himself as a restaurateur, and named the house quickly to Hotel Sacher .

He married 1880 the 21- year-old Anna Fuchs, who henceforth cooperated in the hotel and quickly took over the business because of her husband's deteriorating health . Edward died in 1892, and Anna Sacher now ran the hotel as so-called widow operation. Which at that time was an extremely emancipated woman with cigar and her beloved French Bulldog (in Vienna: " Sacher-Bully" ) was always to be found, continued the business with rigor, but also with kindness. So they talked back then a company health insurance for their employees.

From the beginning, the Sacher was one of the best addresses in the city and in 1871 for the wine and delicatessen for kuk Appointed purveyor. This privilege his widow Anna was once again awarded after the death of Eduard Sacher. Before the opera you enjoyed the exquisite cuisine, they met in the legendary private rooms, and high-ranking representatives from politics always used the house for discreet meetings. The exclusive hotel was already a social institution . But then the economically difficult years after the First World War left its mark on the house.

Shortly before her death in 1930, Anna Sacher withdrew from the guide. Only after her death was announced that the hotel was heavily in debt and assets of the former was not much left. In 1934, finally came to bankruptcy.

The lawyer Hans Gürtler, his wife Poldi and the hotelier couple Joseph and Anna Siller acquired the now dilapidated house and renovated it extensively: from the heating system, electrics, running hot and cold water in all rooms has been adapted all the modern needs. From now on, the earned money should always flow back into the house. First time, the Sachertorte not only in their own premises were offered for consumption, but also sold on the street.

The house was again the meeting place for the growing company. But the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938 brought this to an abrupt end. Swastika flags flying in front of the hotel now.

Hans Gürtler also laid the foundation for the art collection of the 19th Century. Anna Siller died in 1962, and the hotel was entirely in the possession of the Gürtler family. In 1967 the company received the National Award and since then the federal coat of arms may be used in commercial transactions. The son Rolf Gürtler took over the business in 1970, but shortly thereafter, in an accident, after which he succeeded his son Peter Gürtler.

Viterbo (Vetèrbe in dialetto viterbese, Viterbium in latino medioevale) è un comune italiano di 67 603 abitanti capoluogo dell'omonima provincia nel Lazio settentrionale, nota anche come Tuscia o Alto Lazio. Ha antiche origini (si ritiene che Viterbo derivi dal latino Vetus Urbs, cioè Città Vecchia) e ha un vasto centro storico – con alcuni quartieri medioevali ben conservati – cinto da mura e circondato da quartieri moderni, tranne che ad ovest, dove si estendono zone archeologiche e termali (necropoli di Castel d'Asso, sorgente del Bullicame). Viterbo è storicamente nota come la Città dei Papi: nel XIII secolo fu infatti sede pontificia e per circa 24 anni il Palazzo Papale ospitò o vi furono eletti vari Papi. Papa Alessandro IV decise nel 1257 il trasferimento della Curia Papale nella città a causa del clima ostile presente a Roma; il soggiorno papale durò, salvo brevi interruzioni, fino a quando papa Martino IV, appena eletto (22 febbraio 1281), allontanò definitivamente la corte pontificia da Viterbo.

Nel 1962 Viterbo è stata insignita della Medaglia d'argento al Valor Civile per gli innumerevoli caduti ed i gravissimi danni riportati in seguito ai bombardamenti alleati del 1943-44, di cui fu particolarmente pesante quello del 17 gennaio 1944.

La città è famosa per il trasporto della Macchina di Santa Rosa, tradizionale e spettacolare manifestazione che si svolge ogni anno la sera del 3 settembre, in onore della Santa patrona: una struttura illuminata, alta 30 metri e del peso di 52 quintali, viene portata a spalla da cento uomini, i Facchini di Santa Rosa, per le vie abbuiate della città. Nel 2013 la Macchina è stata inserita dall'UNESCO tra i Patrimoni immateriali dell'Umanità.

A Viterbo hanno sede l'Università della Tuscia, istituita il 18 aprile 1979, il comando nazionale dell'Aviazione dell'Esercito, la Scuola Sottufficiali dell'Esercito, la Scuola ITC SUS e la Scuola Marescialli dell'Aeronautica Militare.

Territorio

La città sorge a 326 metri sul livello del mare, con una superficie di 406,23 km²; all'interno di un ampio falsopiano, situato sulle prime pendici settentrionali del Monte Palanzana (che i viterbesi chiamano semplicemente La Palanzana), appartenente al gruppo dei Monti Cimini, rilievi di origine vulcanica che fanno parte, a loro volta, dell'Antiappennino laziale. Il falsopiano sul quale si trova il centro cittadino si distende ad ovest verso la pianura maremmana. La città è attraversata per tutta la sua lunghezza, con decorso est-ovest, dal Fosso Urcionio, che oggi scorre quasi completamente nel sottosuolo, mentre scorreva in superficie fino ai primi decenni del Novecento.

Storia

Origini

Si hanno tracce d'insediamenti neolitici ed eneolitici e varie tracce, specie nel sottosuolo, di presenze etrusche nella lontana storia di Viterbo, ma alcuni storici sono portati a credere che nel periodo etrusco l'insediamento non raggiungesse lo stato di vicus, mentre le fantasiose teorie quattrocentesche dell'erudito frate Annio (autore di quel complesso e monumentale falso storico noto come Antiquitatum Variarum) hanno addirittura supposto che vi fosse in loco una tetrapoli etrusca, sulla base dalla sigla FAVL che, secondo tali teorie sarebbe un acronimo formato dalle iniziali di quattro cittadine (Fanum, Arbanum, Vetulonia, Longula). Più plausibile appare l'identificazione di Viterbo con la città etrusca Surina, sostenuta da studiosi del XX secolo.

Dopo la conquista romana vi fu costituito, con ogni probabilità, un insediamento militare, chiamato Castrum Herculis per la presenza nella zona di un tempio che si riteneva dedicato all'eroe mitologico (il leone simbolo di Viterbo deriva da questo aneddoto).

Notizie più certe si hanno con la cittadina dell'Alto medioevo, che trae origine da un "castrum", cioè una fortificazione longobarda posta al confine tra i possedimenti longobardi nella Tuscia e il ducato bizantino di Roma: il colle di San Lorenzo, ricordato nella donazione di Sutri tra le proprietà che Liutprando promette alla Chiesa nel 729, fu fortificato nel 773 da Desiderio, nell'ultimo periodo della sua contesa con Carlo Magno. Dell'852 è un documento papale che riconosce il Castrum Viterbii come parte delle terre di San Pietro, mentre Ottone I annovera il castello tra i possedimenti della Chiesa.

Medioevo

 

Nell'XI secolo l'incremento demografico contribuì alla nascita di nuclei abitativi fuori dal castrum, e, attorno al 1090, a un primo tratto di mura; nel 1099 la scelta dei primi consoli sancì il passaggio a istituzioni comunali. È il XII secolo il periodo in cui Viterbo, libero comune, si assicurò il possesso di numerosi castelli: in tal senso la protezione di Federico I Barbarossa (presente nella città nel 1162), e il suo riconoscimento del comune viterbese, conferì legittimità alla sua politica di espansione. Nel 1172 venne distrutta la città di Ferento il cui simbolo (una palma) fu aggiunto al leone, simbolo di Viterbo (l'emblema vigente è costituito appunto da un leone accollato ad una palma); attorno al 1190 venne assediata Corneto (odierna Tarquinia), mentre l'imperatore attaccò Roma con l'esercito viterbese.

 

Il districtus del comune aumentò considerevolmente in quegli anni.

 

Ulteriore elemento che accrebbe il prestigio e l'importanza politica di Viterbo, fu la sua elevazione a cattedra vescovile nel 1192 ai danni di Tuscania, la cui precedente predominanza nella Tuscia romana venne così meno.

 

All'inizio del XIII secolo la città fu finalmente inserita nell'orbita papale ed iniziò in tal modo un periodo di grande splendore, soprattutto con il disegno di papa Innocenzo III, che tentò di costituire uno stato territoriale: Viterbo nel 1207 ospitò il Parlamento degli stati della Chiesa. Tuttavia, per la presenza nella città di importanti famiglie insofferenti del predominio papale, venne invocata la protezione di Federico II: si aprì così, fino al 1250 circa, un periodo di lotte interne tra guelfi (la famiglia dei Gatti), e ghibellini (i Tignosi), con un'iniziale prevalenza di questi ultimi. Si inserì in questo contesto di aspre lotte civili e religiose la vita della più illustre figlia di Viterbo: Santa Rosa da Viterbo, che visse tra il 1233 e il 1251. Si ricordano non solo suoi miracoli in vita e post mortem, ma anche, benché fosse giovanissima morendo ad appena 18 anni, la sua coraggiosa predicazione contro gli eretici e i ghibellini, che animò i viterbesi a resistere contro l'assalto dell'esercito di Federico II. Negli stessi anni la città vide le iniziative politiche e militari del cardinale viterbese Raniero Capocci, storico ed acerrimo nemico dell'imperatore[6].

 

Il fallito assedio di Federico II nel 1243 con la grande vittoria dei viterbesi, guidati proprio da Raniero Capocci, sull'esercito imperiale e il conseguente successo dei guelfi, sancì, per la seconda metà del XIII secolo ed anche per i secoli futuri, la definitiva politica filo-papale: la ricca famiglia dei Gatti monopolizzò le cariche municipali e i pontefici scelsero Viterbo come sede papale. L'episodio discriminante, che attirò addirittura l'attenzione mondiale su Viterbo, fu l'elezione papale del 1268-1271, che portò Gregorio X al soglio pontificio: i cardinali che dovevano eleggere il successore di Clemente IV si riunivano inutilmente da quasi 20 mesi, quando il popolo viterbese sdegnato da tanto indugio, sotto la guida del Capitano del popolo Raniero Gatti, giunse alla drastica decisione di chiudere a chiave i cardinali nella sala dell'elezione (clausi cum clave), nutrirli a pane e acqua, e scoperchiare il tetto lasciandoli esposti alle intemperie, finché non avessero eletto il nuovo Papa; alla fine i cardinali - pressati anche dalle continue rampogne di Bonaventura da Bagnoregio - scelsero il piacentino Tedaldo Visconti, arcidiacono di Liegi, che aveva ricevuto solo gli ordini minori e in quei giorni si trovava in Terra Santa per la nona crociata. Il nuovo papa prese il nome di Gregorio X, (1272), e, vista la bontà della "clausura", stabilì con la costituzione apostolica Ubi Periculum che anche le future elezioni papali avvenissero in una sede chiusa a chiave: era nato il Conclave. Dal 1261 al 1281 in Viterbo si tennero ben cinque conclavi. Nell'ultimo di questi il popolo, artatamente sobillato da Carlo I d'Angiò, irruppe nella sala del Conclave e mise al carcere duro il cardinale Matteo Rubeo Orsini, protodiacono. Il pontefice che uscì eletto da questo conclave, funestato dall'invasione del popolo viterbese, fu un francese, il cardinale Simon de Brion, proprio come voleva Carlo d'Angiò. Peraltro il nuovo papa, che scelse il nome pontificale di Martino IV, appena eletto, anziché ringraziare i viterbesi che, mettendo in difficoltà i cardinali della famiglia Orsini, avevano favorito la sua elezione, lanciò sulla città di Viterbo un pesante interdetto e l'abbandonò in fretta e furia con tutta la corte pontificia, senza tornare a Roma, come molti auspicavano, ma recandosi a Orvieto. Si chiuse con questo spiacevole episodio il periodo aureo di Viterbo.

 

I papi non verranno più a risiedere in città, anche se diversi pontefici vi soggiorneranno talora per periodi piuttosto lunghi; ne sono esempi papa Urbano V, che si fermò a Viterbo alcuni mesi tra il 1367 e il 1370[7] durante l'infruttuoso tentativo di riportare a Roma la sede papale, e papa Niccolò V, che nel 1454 fece addirittura costruire dal Rossellino in zona Bullicame un bel Palazzo termale (andato quasi completamente perduto) per venire in città a curare le sue gravi malattie, nonché Giulio II, che fu spesso ospite, nel primo decennio del Cinquecento, degli agostiniani viterbesi, vista l'amicizia che lo legava ad Egidio da Viterbo, e Leone X, che veniva a caccia nei dintorni[8]. Durante la stabile presenza della curia papale a Viterbo, la città aveva raggiunto il suo massimo splendore, sia economico, quale centro posto lungo vie di comunicazione importanti, come la Via Cassia e la Francigena, che architettonico, con l'edificazione di edifici pubblici municipali, torri, chiese, nel fiorire sia dello stile romanico che dello stile gotico, che i cistercensi avevano inaugurato nel luogo con l'abbazia di San Martino al Cimino.

 

L'esilio avignonese dei papi contribuì alla decadenza della città e al riaprirsi delle lotte interne. L'effimera ricostituzione del Patrimonio di San Pietro del cardinale Egidio Albornoz, non impedì ai nobili Gatti e ai prefetti di Vico di imporsi, con istituzioni ormai di tipo signorile, a Viterbo. Nei primi decenni del XVI secolo Viterbo ospitò nuovamente, e spesso, papi, da Giulio II a Leone X, grazie - come sopra accennato - all'opera straordinaria del cardinale agostiniano Egidio da Viterbo. A metà del Cinquecento la città conobbe un nuovo, ancorché breve, periodo di fervore culturale e spirituale per la presenza del cardinale Reginald Pole, che riuniva a Viterbo il suo celebre circolo, di cui faceva parte, tra gli altri, la marchesa Vittoria Colonna ed alle cui riunioni intervenne spesso Michelangelo. Dal XIII al XVI secolo, Viterbo è stata sede di una comunità ebraica, fino al decreto di espulsione del 1569.

Età moderna

Per Viterbo è un periodo di scarsa vitalità, economica e culturale: dalla fine del XVI secolo la città segue le sorti dello Stato della Chiesa e vede tramontare del tutto la vocazione internazionale che aveva assunto nei secoli del basso medioevo.

Occupata nel 1798 dalle truppe francesi del generale Championnet, intervenuto a difesa della Repubblica romana, si ribellò, imprigionando la guarnigione lasciatavi dai francesi, quando nel mese di novembre le truppe del generale austriaco Mack e del re di Napoli Ferdinando IV di Borbone entrarono in Roma. Cacciate tuttavia queste poco dopo dallo Championnet, Viterbo fu attaccata dalle truppe del generale francese François Étienne Kellermann, al quale dovette arrendersi dopo che il medesimo aveva sconfitto nelle vicinanze i 6.000 uomini dell' emigré francese, Roger de Damas.

Nel 1867, con la colonna garibaldina Acerbi, fu testimone della sfortunata campagna dell'Agro romano per la liberazione di Roma, conclusasi a Mentana il 3 novembre con la sconfitta di Garibaldi da parte delle truppe pontificie e francesi. La città dovette attendere il 12 settembre 1870 per essere di nuovo liberata dalle truppe italiane, questa volta quelle dell'esercito regolare in marcia verso Roma.

Con l'unità d'Italia, aggregato quasi tutto il Lazio nella provincia di Roma, Viterbo perse la qualifica di capoluogo, che le fu restituita solo nel 1927 con il riordino delle circoscrizioni provinciali, attuato da Benito Mussolini.

In questa occasione però, aspirava al rango di provincia anche Civitavecchia ma Viterbo riuscì ad avere la meglio, incrementando il proprio territorio e numero di abitanti, sopprimendo e inglobando come frazioni, con assenso governativo, i comuni di Bagnaia, San Martino al Cimino, Grotte Santo Stefano, ed altri piccoli centri limitrofi. (vedi comuni italiani soppressi).

Durante la seconda guerra mondiale la città venne rapidamente occupata dopo l'8 settembre 1943 dalle truppe tedesche della 3. Panzergrenadier-Division che erano in movimento verso Roma. Durante l'occupazione fu sede di un comando tedesco e fu quindi sottoposta dall'aviazione alleata a ripetuti bombardamenti, di cui particolarmente pesante fu quello del 17 gennaio 1944, che portò alla morte di centinaia di civili ed alla distruzione di vaste zone del centro storico e di altri territori vicini.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose

Accanto al Palazzo dei Papi sorge il Duomo, dedicato a San Lorenzo. Il Duomo fu eretto in stile romanico nel corso del XII secolo, sul terreno ove era sita una piccola chiesa dell'VIII secolo dedicata appunto a San Lorenzo, a sua volta edificata sulle rovine di un tempio pagano dedicato ad Ercole, ma la sua facciata risale solo al 1570, quando fu rifatta in stile rinascimentale su disposizione dell'allora vescovo della diocesi e cardinale Giovanni Francesco Gambara. Il Duomo ha subito notevoli danni durante un bombardamento della città da parte degli alleati nel 1944. Il restauro successivo ha restituito parte della struttura romanica preesistente ai rimaneggiamenti eseguiti durante il periodo barocco. Il campanile trecentesco è formato nella parte alta da strati segnati da doppie bifore e da fasce policrome orizzontali.

Lo spazio interno è articolato in tre navate separate da due file di colonne culminanti in eleganti capitelli. Il pavimento è in stile cosmatesco. Nella zona absidale della navata sinistra vi è il sepolcro di papa Giovanni XXI (†1277) e poco distante è sita una pregevole tavola del XII secolo raffigurante la Madonna della carbonara di stile bizantino.Nella chiesa fu certamente sepolto anche papa Alessandro IV (†1261), ma la sua salma fu spostata successivamente in luogo segreto, forse per sottrarla a profanazioni da parte dei suoi nemici, o, più probabilmente, in occasione dei restauri rinascimentali della chiesa stessa.

Chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova

La Cattedrale di San Lorenzo (il Duomo)

Il Duomo di San Lorenzo

La chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova è una delle più antiche di Viterbo: risale, infatti, al 1080. Fu edificata sui resti di un tempio dedicato a Giove Cimino, la cui testa scolpita (che molti credettero in passato raffigurasse Gesù) si sporge sopra il portale. In un angolo esterno dell'edificio, figura un piccolo pulpito in pietra cui si accedeva tramite una scala di legno. Da esso, secondo la leggenda, avrebbe predicato, nel 1266, San Tommaso d'Aquino: in realtà le ridottissime dimensioni del pulpito non risultano compatibili con la ben nota mole del grande santo domenicano, il cui ciclo di prediche del 1266, voluto da papa Clemente IV, si tenne con ogni probabilità dentro la chiesa. All'interno è conservata una collezione di pittura viterbese del periodo che va dal XIV al XVI secolo. Nella navata di sinistra, in fondo, si trova un pregevole trittico bizantino del 1180 di cuoio che raffigura il Cristo. Le navate laterali presentano un soffitto retto da capriate lignee e decorato da formelle in ceramica. Nel Battistero da notare l'affresco con i Santi Giovanni Battista, Girolamo e Lorenzo, di Antonio del Massaro da Viterbo, detto il Pastura, affine per alcuni aspetti ad Antoniazzo Romano e per altri al Perugino. A un lato dell'altare maggiore, è posto un ingresso all'antica cripta paleocristiana. Una scala posta all'esterno dell'abside conduce ad un chiostro, erroneamente definito "longobardo". Il chiostro è rimasto sepolto e sconosciuto fino agli anni ottanta (non esistevano riferimenti o testimonianze che ne suggerissero l'esistenza), finché il crollo di un'ala del refettorio non ha condotto alla sua scoperta.

Chiesa di San Silvestro

Antichissima chiesa nella quale, nel 1271, avvenne l'efferato assassinio del principe inglese Enrico di Cornovaglia, che suscitò enorme sgomento nel XIII secolo e che fu anche ricordato da Dante[13].

Abbazia di San Martino al Cimino

Notevole esempio di architettura gotica-cistercense

Basilica della Madonna della Quercia

A due chilometri da Viterbo, è uno dei più notevoli esempi di arte rinascimentale italiana: primo monumento nazionale viterbese; sulla facciata maestosa si possono ammirare tre lunette di Andrea della Robbia, all'interno della chiesa pitture di fra Bartolomeo della Porta, soffitto a cassettoni della navata centrale, progettato da Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane, tempietto di Andrea Bregno. Ha il rango di basilica minore

Architetture civili

Palazzo dei Papi

Il centro di Viterbo offre numerosissime e importanti opere d'arte e d'architettura. La più famosa è il Palazzo Papale, costruito fra il 1255 e il 1266 sul colle di San Lorenzo per proteggere il pontefice, con la celebre loggia formata in un solo lato da sette archi sorretti da esili colonnine binate che si intrecciano formando una elegante trabeazione. Dalla loggia si entra nella grande Sala del Conclave, teatro della famosa elezione di papa Gregorio X .

La città medievale

  

I giardini di Villa Lante (Bagnaia)

Poco distante da piazza del Duomo si estende il vecchio quartiere medievale di San Pellegrino, pressoché integro: qui si incontrano numerose case dotate di profferlo, la scala a vista tipica dell'architettura viterbese. Interessante anche la piazza del Plebiscito, meglio conosciuta dai viterbesi come "Piazza del Comune" dove hanno sede il Municipio e la Prefettura. Alla fine di Corso Italia (chiamato semplicemente il Corso), in cima alla salita che parte da Piazza Verdi, sorge la chiesa di Santa Rosa, in onore della Santa Patrona della città, nella quale è venerato il Corpo della Santa; la chiesa è edificata su una piccola altura accanto alla cosiddetta "Casa di Santa Rosa".

Meritano menzione, non solo per le splendide antiche fontane che le abbelliscono, Piazza della Rocca, Piazza Fontana Grande, Piazza delle Erbe e Piazza della Morte, nonché, per la sua struttura, la torre del Branca, detta della Bella Galliana, vicino alla Porta Faul, e le mura medievali, con le 2 porte principali (Porta Romana e Porta Fiorentina).

Villa Lante a Bagnaia

Nella frazione di Bagnaia importantissima è la Villa Lante, celeberrima per il suo giardino all'italiana attribuito al Vignola, e definita dal Sitwell: One of the most beautiful places in the world.

San Martino al Cimino

Di grande interesse è anche la frazione di San Martino al Cimino, con un'architettura urbanistica realizzata nella prima metà del Seicento per volontà di Donna Olimpia Maidalchini, una delle più potenti donne del suo tempo, che chiamò a lavorarvi un gruppo di prestigiosi architetti, tra i quali Francesco Borromini, per un progetto estremamente innovativo di case a schiera, nell'ambito di un borgo splendido sotto il profilo edilizio.

Sottosuolo

Particolari della città sono anche le numerose gallerie sotterranee scavate nel tufo, che mettono in comunicazione gran parte degli edifici del centro storico, creando una interessantissima rete di cunicoli e camminamenti, talvolta parzialmente sommersi, ove non è raro trovare reperti storico-archeologici. Sono utilizzate prevalentemente come cantine; sono state utilizzate ancora nella seconda guerra mondiale come rifugio della popolazione durante i bombardamenti aerei che colpirono duramente la città nel 1943-44.

Il presepe del Pastura e la Pietà di Sebastiano del Piombo

Da non dimenticare il grandioso ed artisticamente rilevante Presepe, presso il Museo Civico, pala d'altare di notevoli dimensioni opera del pittore viterbese del XV secolo Antonio del Massaro, detto il Pastura, che fu allievo prediletto del Pinturicchio. Nello stesso Museo Civico si può anche ammirare la celebre Pietà di Sebastiano del Piombo, grande tavola che il maestro veneziano realizzò tra il 1516 ed il 1517, e nella quale si fondono splendidamente tenebrosa compassione e drammatica severità.

Siti archeologici

Necropoli di Castel d'Asso

Fuori dal centro, ma sempre nel territorio comunale, importantissima è la Necropoli di Castel d'Asso, la prima ad essere scoperta cronologicamente, e che si suppone fosse a suo tempo la più vasta.

Ferento

A sei chilometri dal centro cittadino, sulla strada Teverina, si trova il sito archeologico di Ferento, con interessanti vestigia di epoca etrusca, romana e medievale, ed un bel teatro romano, in buono stato di conservazione e nel quale si svolgono spettacoli teatrali e musicali estivi. Notevole impulso ai ritrovamenti in questo sito e nella vicina Acquarossa venne dalle varie campagne di scavi condotte personalmente -tra il 1960 ed il 1973- dal Re archeologo Gustavo VI Adolfo di Svezia.

Necropoli di Norchia

Monumentale necropoli rupestre etrusca. Si raggiunge passando da un Comune della provincia, Vetralla, prendendo la statale Aurelia Bis in direzione Tarquinia.

Aree naturali

Bullicame, sorgente di acqua sulfurea calda dalle importanti proprietà terapeutiche, che alimenta - anche se la sua portata mostra significative riduzioni - una stazione termale e varie pozze libere. Il Bullicame è anche citato da Dante

The Hotel Sacher is located in the first District of Vienna after the Vienna State Opera. Famous specialty of the house is the original Sachertorte. The hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World.

History

Anna Maria Sacher

On the grounds of the demolished Kärntnertortheatre, directly opposite the newly opened imperial Court Opera, was built a Maison meuble. The restaurateur Eduard Sacher bought the house modeled on a Renaissance palace and opened in 1876, Hotel de l' Opera with the restaurant. The son of Franz Sacher, the inventor of the Sachertorte, had however already made ​​a name for himself as a restaurateur, and named the house quickly to Hotel Sacher .

He married 1880 the 21- year-old Anna Fuchs, who henceforth cooperated in the hotel and quickly took over the business because of her husband's deteriorating health . Edward died in 1892, and Anna Sacher now ran the hotel as so-called widow operation. Which at that time was an extremely emancipated woman with cigar and her beloved French Bulldog (in Vienna: " Sacher-Bully" ) was always to be found, continued the business with rigor, but also with kindness. So they talked back then a company health insurance for their employees.

From the beginning, the Sacher was one of the best addresses in the city and in 1871 for the wine and delicatessen for kuk Appointed purveyor. This privilege his widow Anna was once again awarded after the death of Eduard Sacher. Before the opera you enjoyed the exquisite cuisine, they met in the legendary private rooms, and high-ranking representatives from politics always used the house for discreet meetings. The exclusive hotel was already a social institution . But then the economically difficult years after the First World War left its mark on the house.

Shortly before her death in 1930, Anna Sacher withdrew from the guide. Only after her death was announced that the hotel was heavily in debt and assets of the former was not much left. In 1934, finally came to bankruptcy.

The lawyer Hans Gürtler, his wife Poldi and the hotelier couple Joseph and Anna Siller acquired the now dilapidated house and renovated it extensively: from the heating system, electrics, running hot and cold water in all rooms has been adapted all the modern needs. From now on, the earned money should always flow back into the house. First time, the Sachertorte not only in their own premises were offered for consumption, but also sold on the street.

The house was again the meeting place for the growing company. But the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938 brought this to an abrupt end. Swastika flags flying in front of the hotel now. During the Second World War but the house remained largely spared from damage. Immediately after the liberation of Vienna it was occupied by Soviet troops, the Vienna first district around the hotel but was soon jointly managed by the Allies and thus it came six years into British hands.

1951 got the Siller family and Gürtler their property back. Josef Siller had died in 1949. Again, the hotel had to be extensively renovated. As well as new dining venues emerged at the Sacher. Hans Gürtler also laid the foundation for the art collection of the 19th Century. Anna Siller died in 1962, and the hotel was entirely in the possession of the Gürtler family. In 1967 the company received the National Award and since then the federal coat of arms may be used in commercial transactions. The son Rolf Gürtler took over the business in 1970, but shortly thereafter, in an accident, after which he succeeded his son Peter Gürtler. This took over in 1989, the Austrian Court Hotel in Salzburg. This was later renamed the Hotel Sacher Salzburg. Since his death in 1990 his 1983 divorced woman Elisabeth Gürtler-Mauthner leads the family with their daughter Alexandra.

Samedi 23 août 2014. Hôtel des Invalides. L'architecte Libéral Bruant construit La façade nord 195 m de long 22 m de haut pavillon central qui forme arc triomphal point culminant soleil visage humain. Groupe sculpté Louis XIV représenté imperator romain.

 

Le roi Louis XIV souhaitait comme ses prédécesseurs Henri II, Henri III, Henri IV, assurer aide et assistance aux soldats invalides de ses armées ; pour que « ceux qui ont exposé leur vie et prodigué leur sang pour la défense de la monarchie (…) passent le reste de leurs jours dans la tranquillité », dit l'édit royal du 12 mars 1670. Néanmoins, au-delà du geste humanitaire, Louis XIV a aussi des desseins parfaitement politiques. Ces invalides, issus pour la plupart de la guerre de Trente Ans, font mauvaises figures, traînant sur le pont Neuf, souvent mêlés aux rixes de rues, et la population se plaint de ce comportement. Le Roi reloge les invalides dans certaines abbayes en les imposant comme oblats, contribuant ainsi à renforcer les rangs du clergé, mais militaires comme religieux fuient cette solution, les premiers refusant une vie aussi stricte que celle de la vie monacale et devenant mendiants, valets, voleurs, commensaux de maladreries ou de couvents. De plus, Louis XIV ne cachant plus ses projets de conquête, il doit redorer l'image de son armée auprès de la population, mais aussi sa propre image aux yeux de ses soldats.

En 1659, après le traité des Pyrénées, Louis XIV reprend l'idée de Richelieu qui avait fait transformer en 1634 le château de Bicêtre en un établissement pour l'entretien des soldats invalides (la « commanderie Saint-Louis »). Le projet ne se concrétise que onze ans plus tard lorsque le roi crée par ordonnance royale du 24 mai 1670 l'hôtel des Invalides destiné aux militaires âgés, blessés ou inaptes à la guerre. L'établissement qui répond aux fonctions d'hôpital, d'hospice, de caserne et de couvent est exempté d'impôts et administré par un gouverneur. Les soldats sont entretenus par des fonds prélevés sur les revenus des prieurés et des abbayes5.

Situés dans la plaine de Grenelle dans le quartier du Gros Caillou, alors faubourg de Paris, les travaux des bâtiments principaux (logements, infirmerie, réfectoire) sont confiés à l'architecte du roi Libéral Bruant par le Secrétaire d'État français de la Guerre Louvois et seront pour le logement et l'entretien des invalides ou des vieillards sans fortune qui ont servi dans ses armées. Pour que ceux qui ont exposé leur vie et prodigué leur sang pour la défense de la monarchie… passent le reste de leur jours dans la tranquillité... précise l'édit royal.

Libéral Bruant a déjà réalisé l'hospice de la Salpêtrière. Son projet étant sélectionné par Louis XIV parmi les huit proposés, il conçoit à l'âge de 36 ans une organisation en cinq cours, centrée sur la plus grande : la cour royale entourée de quatre corps de logis. Il reprend ainsi le plan de L'Escorial, le palais monastère de Philippe II d'Espagne, près de Madrid mais s'inspire aussi des hôpitaux de l'époque (la Salpêtrière, l'hospice des Incurables). Les travaux sont menés entre mars 1671 (la première pierre est posée le 30 novembre 1671) et février 1674, ce qui peut être qualifié de rapide grâce à l'aide que lui apportent Louvois et ses intendants, les trois frères Camus. Les premiers pensionnaires sont hébergés lors de l'inauguration de l'hôtel en octobre 1674 par Louis XIV en personne. Néanmoins, à cette date, la construction de l'église n'est pas encore commencée). La face arrière de la grande cour est cependant détruite moins d'un an après son achèvement, pour laisser place aux fondations du grand dôme. Les matériaux de construction, notamment la pierre de craie, sont débarqués au niveau d'un port aménagé sur la Seine au niveau du futur pont Alexandre-III.

L'église royale, initialement prévue par Bruant, butte sur la construction. Louvois, qui y voit l'occasion de mettre à l'écart l'un des protégés de son rival, Colbert, détourne Bruant vers d'autres travaux de ponts et chaussées et confie l'ouvrage à partir de mars 1676 à Jules Hardouin-Mansart qui travaille également aux pavillons d'entrée et aux infirmeries. La construction de l'édifice religieux dure près de trente ans et n'est achevée que le 28 août 1706, date de la remise des clés par l'architecte au Roi Soleil. Une longue construction qui prend un tournant à la mort de Colbert, dont les restrictions étouffaient la construction. Louvois le remplace au ministère et ainsi, quadruple la mise de cent mille livres allouée à la construction du dôme par Colbert. Néanmoins, celui-ci se fait très présent sur le chantier et n'hésite pas à harceler les fournisseurs en pierre retardataires tel que Carel. Louvois fut particulièrement attaché aux Invalides, dans lequel il souhaitait d'ailleurs reposer à sa mort. Le 19 juillet 1691, il fut inhumé dans l'église, mais il n'aura malheureusement jamais vu la fin des travaux sur le dôme. Tragique histoire d'amour, car malgré tout, en 1699, son mausolée n'est toujours pas fini, le roi n'ayant pas libéré les crédits à cet effet. On soupçonne Madame de Maintenon, épouse morganatique du roi et vieille adversaire de Louvois, de retarder la construction. Ainsi, le 29 janvier 1699, le corps de Louvois quitte son Hôtel des Invalides et est inhumé dans l'église du couvent des Capucines qu'il avait fait construire au débouché de la place Vendôme. Néanmoins celui-ci reste présent par un joli jeu de mots : parmi les décorations d'armes sur une lucarne, l'une nous présente étrangement un animal sortant des hautes herbes fixant la cour. En effet, d'ici le « loup voit ».

Le lieu devint alors une véritable promenade pour les Parisiens, se mêlant à la population militaire. Les cérémonies qui s'y dérouleront attireront là encore de nombreux spectateurs. Les Invalides resteront pour la monarchie l'objet de Louis XIV. Louis XV ne s'y rendra pas, et Louis XVI qu'à de rares occasions durant lesquelles il salua toujours la performance de cette institution. Autre invité illustre de l'époque monarchique, le tsar Pierre Ier de Russie s'y rendra en avril 1717.

À l'origine, seulement un certain nombre de casernes étaient prévues, mais le roi Louis XIV choisit le projet de l'architecte Libéral Bruant qui consistait en un grand bâtiment impressionnant avec une cour royale et l'église.

Le bâtiment est, en fait, double, même s'il existe une continuité architecturale : la nef constitue l’église des soldats, le chœur, sous la coupole, étant qualifié d’église du dôme. Cette distinction est concrétisée par la mise en place, en 1873, d'une grande verrière, séparant les deux parties.

L'hôtel des Invalides comprend alors, outre l'église, une manufacture (confection d'uniformes et imprimerie), un hospice (« maison de retraite ») et un hôpital militaire. Les ateliers initiaux sont rapidement abandonnés pour faire des chambrées supplémentaires.

Lundi 13 juillet 1789, à la nuit tombée, les barricades se lèvent dans Paris. Le baron Pierre-Victor de Besenval, lieutenant général des armées du roi et colonel du régiment des gardes suisses, est chargé de la protection de la ville, mais celui-ci, face à la menace, s'est retranché avec ses troupes dans son camp installé Champ de Mars. La foule s'arme de bâtons et petit à petit pille le couvent Saint-Lazare. Le gouverneur Charles François de Virot de Sombreuil, chargé des Invalides, sait que ce climat s'est propagé dans les propres rangs de son institution. Les réformes impopulaires du comte de Saint-Germain, ministre de la Guerre de Louis XVI ont mis à dos le gouverneur royaliste et son état major. Parmi les invalides eux-mêmes, la proximité avec les loges maçonniques et la cohabitation avec les soldats français rescapés du corps expéditionnaire de La Fayette durant la Révolution américaine, entraînent un élan de sympathie pour le mouvement révolutionnaire.

Le lendemain, 14 juillet, à sept heures du matin, le Comité permanent des électeurs, siégeant à l'hôtel de ville, envoie Ethis de Corny, procureur du Roi, pour réclamer les armes stockées aux Invalides. Celui-ci arrive à neuf heures, avec son escorte armée. Le gouverneur, ne disposant que de sa garde et d'une compagnie d'artilleurs, refuse de livrer les armes sans ordres formels du Roi. Déjà la veille au soir, Sombreuil avait reçu la demande de fournir les armes au peuple. Il avait alors compris l'intérêt de ce stock pour la foule et avait employé 20 invalides pour retirer les chiens des fusils et ainsi les rendre inutilisables. Mais ceux-ci prirent du retard, sûrement pour soutenir l'action révolutionnaire, et l'idée fut abandonnée. Sombreuil explique alors à Ethis de Corny qu'un courrier est parti pour Versailles, et lui demande d'attendre la réponse. Néanmoins la foule qui se masse autour des Invalides refuse la demande et se lance à l'assaut du bâtiment. L'ordre est donné aux artilleurs de faire feu sur la foule. Néanmoins pas un tir ne se fera entendre. Les invalides eux-mêmes ouvrent les grilles. La prise des Invalides permettra à la foule de récupérer 32 000 fusils et 27 canons.

Le 15 juillet 1789, Sombreuil ne peut calmer ses hommes. Il donne alors sa démission, qui sera refusée par le Roi demandant à celui-ci d'attendre que l'Assemblée prenne une décision quant au sort de l'institution. Le dossier sera examiné bien plus tard en 1791 par la Constituante, chargeant Edmond Louis Alexis Dubois-Crancé du dossier, celui-ci étant déjà chargé du dossier de la réorganisation de l'armée. Celui-ci souhaite la fermeture de l'hôtel pour faire des économies et augmenter la solde des 30 000 soldats invalides répartis dans tout le pays. Les malades seraient alors répartis dans les 83 « hospices de la Patrie » que la Constituante cherche à créer. Le bâtiment serait revendu à la Mairie de Paris qui pourrait alors le réutiliser comme prison. Le projet est débattu, les invalides eux-mêmes sont divisés, l'abbé Jean-Sifrein Maury est l'un des plus grands détracteurs de l'idée d'une fermeture d'un établissement qu'il juge être « un exemple pour toute l'Europe ».

Le 30 avril, la Constituante tranche le maintien de l'édifice et de son statut, mais sous le nouveau titre d'« hôtel national des Militaires Invalides » qui sera à la charge d'un comité électif du département de Paris. Ce nouveau statut sera contesté par une partie du personnel (entre autres le héros de la prise de la Bastille, Cordier, et la responsable de l'infirmerie, la veuve Piat), et sera finalement supprimé le 15 mai 1794 puis remplacé par une Agence révolutionnaire, composée de Jacobins. Ceux-ci feront arrêter Sombreuil, qui sera guillotiné à tort avec son fils Stanislas, le 17 juin 1794. Depuis, l'Hôtel avait déjà été maintes fois pillé, les emblèmes royaux et symboles religieux martelés, les cours rebaptisées (la cour Royale devient celle de la République, celle de l'Infirmerie en celle de l'Humanité, celle du Gouverneur en celle des sans-culottes…). Les quatre vertus qui ornaient le lanternon du dôme seront d'ailleurs saisies, fondues, pour devenir des balles. Le symbole de Louis XIV subit ainsi les foudres de la Révolution. Néanmoins, avec la déclaration de guerre contre l'Autriche du 20 avril 1792, le gouvernement révolutionnaire n'hésita plus à se tourner vers ses anciens soldats, les emblèmes ennemis sont présentés aux Invalides, des hommes à poigne sont enfin nommés à la tête de l'institution pour la redresser, tel que Louis-Adrien Brice de Montigny épaulé de l'adjudant-général Dumesnil et du général de division Jean-François Berruyer. Avec le temps, l'institution retrouve ses marques. Mais c'est un nom qui viendra unir les pensionnaires. Les blessés de la campagne d'Italie ne parlent déjà que de lui : le jeune général Napoléon Bonaparte.

Le jeune général n'a jamais cessé d'entretenir avec les Invalides un rapport étroit. C'était pour lui, à ses débuts, une manière de se légitimer, de gagner le cœur des soldats. C'est ainsi que le 23 septembre 1800, l'anniversaire de la fondation de la République, menée par le Premier Consul, se tiendra aux Invalides, durant lequel, le discours prononcé par son frère, Lucien Bonaparte, fera vibrer la corde nationale des vieux soldats. À l'annonce de l'explosion de la bombe le 24 décembre 1800 lors de la visite de Bonaparte à l'Opéra, complot mené par Cadoudal, les Invalides adressent immédiatement leur soutien et leurs vœux d'avenir. Avec l'annonce du senatus-consulte du 18 mai 1804, proclamant l'Empire, les vieux révolutionnaires s'inquiètent.

Alors, Napoléon ruse, il décale l'anniversaire de la prise de la Bastille au lendemain, un dimanche, jour de repos. La ruse tient au fait qu'en même temps, il prépare une cérémonie nouvelle qui, elle aussi, prendra place aux Invalides. Ainsi, le 15 juillet 1804 eut lieu en la chapelle des Invalides une fastueuse cérémonie officielle : la toute première remise de médailles de la Légion d'honneur par Napoléon aux officiers méritants.

La cérémonie est réglée au millimètre. Joséphine, ses belles-sœurs et ses dames d'honneur devancent Bonaparte qui quitte les Tuileries à midi sur un cheval richement harnaché. Il est escorté de ses maréchaux, aides de camp, colonels, généraux de sa garde et grands officiers, ainsi qu'une interminable haie de soldats, l'accompagnant jusqu'à l'entrée du dôme. Le nouveau gouverneur des Invalides, le général-sénateur Sérurier, ainsi que le cardinal De Belloy viennent à sa rencontre, Napoléon s'installe sur le trône installé dans le chœur. Depuis l'inauguration de Louis XIV en 1706, on n'avait connu pareille gloire pour le monument. Hauts militaires, Clergé et grands savants se disputent les meilleures places, alors que les élèves de Polytechnique et les invalides, installés sur des gradins, assistent à tout ce beau spectacle.

Après les discours vient le moment des décorations. Napoléon lui-même reçoit la Légion d'honneur des mains de son petit-fils et neveu, le prince Louis, mais celui-ci le détache de son habit et préfère alors décorer le cardinal Giovanni Battista Caprara. Le noble geste attire la sympathie de la foule. Napoléon, qui a à ses pieds deux bassins, l'un contenant les légions en or pour les grands officiers, commandants et officiers, l'autre d'argent pour les chevaliers, commence la distribution en épinglant les croix à la poitrine de chacun. On y retrouve de brillants militaires, Kellermann, Oudinot, Suchet, Marmont… mais aussi les cardinaux comme Belloy ou Fesch, des scientifiques comme Monge, fondateur de Polytechnique, le chimiste Berthollet, les astronomes Lalande, Cassini ou Méchain, le chirurgien Pelletan, le savant apothicaire Parmentier, ancien employé des Invalides, et bien d'autres peintres, musiciens, botanistes, cuisiniers… À chacun d'eux il touche un mot, sur leurs blessures, leurs travaux, leurs souvenirs communs… Après la cérémonie, le Te Deum de Pierre Desvignes retentit dans le chœur de la chapelle impériale alors que Napoléon repart avec le grand-maître des cérémonies, M. De Ségur, et le grand chambellan Talleyrand.

Si son frère, Lucien Bonaparte, rêve d'une grande nécropole militaire, Napoléon lui, écarte les projets, n'étant pas suffisamment grandiose pour rivaliser avec l'œuvre de Louis XIV. Il préfère s'occuper du fonctionnement de l'Institution, ainsi que de sa réputation. Il efface tous les mauvais traitements qu'avait infligé la révolution française, avec la dégradation des statues, et ainsi il demande à Pierre Cartellier la reconstitution de la statue équestre de Louis XIV, sur le haut relief de la porte d'honneur, sculptée par Nicolas Coustou.

L'Empereur y place le 17 mai 1807 en grande pompe l'épée du roi de Prusse Frédéric II de Prusse, acquise à la suite de sa victoire le 25 octobre 1806 à la bataille de Potsdam.

Napoléon se rendra à plusieurs reprises écouter les récriminations de ses anciens compagnons d'armes. Le 25 mars 1811, il concède à l'Hôtel un budget de 6 millions de francs de l'époque. C'est pour les Invalides un véritable âge d'or que ce Premier Empire.

L'Empereur exilé, l'Empire vaincu, la nouvelle monarchie de Louis XVIII revenu d'exil, s'impose à Paris, et renomme les Invalides en « Hôtel Royal des Invalides ». Mais dans le cœur des militaires, Napoléon reste leur héros. Les Invalides deviennent le lieu emblématique des bonapartistes. Avec la chute de Charles X et l'instauration de Louis-Philippe Ier, les Trois Glorieuses vont apporter avec elles un vent de liberté. Les bonapartistes s'affichent, et la question du retour des cendres s'imposent. Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas réclament la tombe. Finalement, c'est Adolphe Thiers qui, à l'Assemblée, parvient à faire basculer le débat. Le retour des cendres lui semble un beau symbole du retour d'une France puissante. Si Louis-Philippe Ier reste réticent, son fils le duc d'Orléans est enthousiaste. Le 1er mai 1840, jour de la saint Louis-Philippe, celui-ci accepte la requête d'Adolphe Thiers. Charles de Rémusat, ministre de l'Intérieur, demande alors à l'Assemblée, un crédit d'un million de francs pour financer le retour des restes et la construction d'un tombeau dont l'emplacement est déjà désigné : les Invalides, déjà choisies par Napoléon lui-même. Lorsque le deuxième million réclamé à l'Assemblée est refusé, la presse se déchaîne : les royalistes y voient un affront, les républicains une somme colossale, les bonapartistes une dépense naturelle. Le prince de Joinville se charge du transfert à bord de La Belle Poule et de La Favorite le 7 juillet de Toulon, revenant le 30 novembre à Cherbourg. Mais coup de théâtre entre deux, le gouvernement Adolphe Thiers vient de chuter et celui-ci est remplacé par le maréchal Soult qui charge François Guizot des Affaires étrangères, et ainsi donc du rapatriement. Or celui-ci est un fervent adversaire de Thiers ainsi qu'un anti-bonapartiste. Joinville se retrouve alors bloqué à Cherbourg, attendant des ordres qui n'arrivent pas. Si le chantier avance à grands pas sous la houlette des maîtres d'œuvre Henri Labrouste et Louis Visconti, la cérémonie, elle, n'est pas prête. Néanmoins, la Dorade peut enfin remonter la Seine pour accoster à Courbevoie au cri de « Vive l'Empereur ! ».

L'hôtel se dote très tôt d'une fonction muséographique : musée d'artillerie en 1872 et musée historique des armées en 1896, réunis en musée de l'armée en 1905.

La statue en pied de Napoléon dans la cour d'honneur a connu des vicissitudes :

Elle fut commandée par Louis-Philippe au sculpteur Charles Émile Seurre pour être installée au sommet de la colonne Vendôme en 1833. Napoléon III la remplaça par une statue jugée plus digne : celle de Napoléon dans la toge de César. C'est cette statue qui sera abattue par la Commune de Paris. En attendant, la statue première avait été installée au rond-point de Courbevoie, situé dans l'axe historique de l'ouest parisien. À la chute du Second-Empire, elle fut déboulonnée par les Parisiens, qui croyaient notamment en la rumeur que les Prussiens allaient l'attacher par le cou et la traîner le long des rues de la capitale. Devant être transférée aux Invalides pour échapper aux Prussiens en 1870 et à la Commune en 1871, elle fut placée sur une barge de la Seine, mais la statue de 4 tonnes tomba à l'eau (accident ? Jetée intentionnellement ?). Une rumeur prétendit que la tête en bronze se sépara du corps lors de la chute et que la tête actuelle ne serait pas l'originale. Elle fut repêchée en 1876 et placée dans les réserves des Invalides. Restaurée, sous l'initiative de la société des amis du musée de l'Armée, elle trouva le 11 mars 1911 sa place actuelle aux Invalides.

L'hôtel des Invalides accueille encore aujourd'hui une centaine de grands invalides de guerre des armées françaises. L'administration chargée de cette mission est l'Institution nationale des invalides.
