We crossed the Tiber River which lead us to a medieval suburb of Trasverse, and then to the Janiculum Hill to see a well known Renaissance architecture building, “Il Tempietto” done by Donato Bramante. The building was begun in 1502. Even though this piece seems famous – less, it’s very well – known to the art historians and architects. This piece is known for its perfect hemispherical dome and perfect geometric orders. Inside the little building, on the ceiling of the dome, there are beautiful stars, and this represents the universe.
