EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from a print showcases the intricately designed Coat of Arms of Pope Alexander VI, adorning the facade of Castle Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy. The Castle, also known as the Mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, is a historic landmark that dates back to the 2nd century AD. In the 15th century, during the reign of Pope Alexander VI (1431-1503), the castle underwent significant renovations, with the addition of the papal family crest becoming a prominent feature. The Coat of Arms is a visual representation of the Borgia family's power and legacy. The shield is decorated with a broken chain symbolizing the break from the past and the beginning of a new era, while the keys represent the spiritual authority of the Pope. The inscription below the shield reads "S.R.E.," which stands for "Sacra Romana Ecclesia," or the Holy Roman Church. The Castle Sant'Angelo, with its rich history and impressive architecture, has been a significant part of European history. Its exterior, adorned with various decorative elements, is a testament to the blending of ancient Roman and medieval influences. The intricate details of the Coat of Arms, like the one captured in this print, serve as a reminder of the castle's intriguing past and the powerful dynasties that have shaped it over the centuries.
