In the mission to make Rome great once more, there...
In the mission to make Rome great once more, there was one Pope whose ambitions would exceed all others. The successor to the Borgia Pope would be the ultimate creator of Renaissance Rome. His name was Giuliano della Rovera. Years before he became Pope, he began forming his great vision for the city. And in the entrance to the church outside his old home is a clue to his master plan for the new Rome. He erected a relief of an eagle, the mighty symbol of Ancient Rome. Giuliano had rescued the great eagle from the ruins, and he wanted to do the same to Rome itself. His vision was to restore the Eternal City to its ancient glories. And he himself would be its Julius Caesar. So it's no wonder that when elected Pope, the name he chose was Julius II. Deep inside the Vatican Palace, the walls of Julius's private apartments ring out with the story of his reign.


在这项中兴罗马的使命中,有一位教皇,其壮志雄心比所有其他的教皇都要高。波吉亚教皇的继任者将成为最终缔造罗马复兴的人。他的名字是朱利亚诺·德拉·诺维拉(Giuliano della Rovera)。早在成为教皇的前几年,他就开始为罗马城构思宏大的发展蓝图。(注:原文是vision愿景)在他旧居外头那座教堂的入口处,我们对于他构建新罗马城的总体规划,可以看出一丝端倪。他在那儿立了个老鹰浮雕,象征着古罗马的强盛。这只大鹰是朱利亚诺是从废墟中抢救出来的,同样地,他希望能带来罗马从衰颓中走出来。他的愿景是永恒之城得以再创旧时的辉煌,到时候他本人就是新的“凯撒大帝”(朱利叶斯·凯撒Julius Caesar)。因此,他在当选教皇后选了朱利叶斯二世这个名号也就不足为奇。在梵蒂冈宫内深处,朱利叶斯住所的墙壁上仍回荡着他统治时的故事。
