释义 | Tivoli Italy Latin Tibur ![]() Tivoli was originally an independent member of the Latin League (communities that cooperated in political and social matters) and a rival of Rome, but it passed within the Roman orbit in the 4th century BC. The town received Roman citizenship in 90 BC and attained prosperity as a summer resort under the late republic and early empire. The Roman emperor Augustus and the poets Horace, Catullus, and Sextus Propertius were among its sojourners. Many wealthy Romans built villas and erected small temples in the vicinity of Tivoli. After suffering during the barbarian invasions, the town recovered by the 10th century, became an imperial free city, and maintained its autonomy to some degree until 1816. Tivoli is an important landmark in the history of architecture, and its monuments are among the most impressive to survive from antiquity; their excavation since the 16th century played a considerable part in shaping successive generations of classicizing taste. Among the remains of wealthy Roman residences in the immediate neighbourhood, the most important are those of the one that was subsequently acquired by the emperor Hadrian in the 1st century to become the nucleus of his famous villa. Hadrian's Villa was the largest and most sumptuous imperial villa in the Roman Empire. It was begun about AD 118 and took about 10 years to build. It lies in a plain below the hill town of Tivoli. The villa contained palaces, libraries, guest quarters, public baths, and two theatres. The remnants of many great brick and concrete structures remain. ![]() Tourism along with papermaking and light industry are the chief economic occupations of modern-day Tivoli. Pop.

Cafés, restaurants, pavilions, open-air theatres, and an amusement park are scattered among Tivoli's extensive flower gardens. Fireworks, coloured floodlights, and illuminated fountains brighten the park at night; and symphony concerts, jazz and rock shows, pantomimes, and ballets are performed throughout the summer. The park was opened in 1843 by the writer-architect Georg Carstensen (1812–59) on the southern ramparts of the old city. A remnant of the former moat became a lake for boating. The composer H.C. Lumbye (1810–74) conducted the orchestra at Tivoli for its first 30 years, playing popular Viennese dance music as well as his own compositions. Bombing in 1944 destroyed many park buildings, including the old concert hall; a new concert hall, seating 2,000, was opened in the Tivoli in 1956. It was extensively remodeled in 2005. |
