Profile of Piazza San Pietro
ʻO St. Peter's Square a iʻole Piazza San Pietro, kahi e kū ana i mua o ka St. Basilica,ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi i kaulana loa ma Italia a he wahi kūpono nui no nā mea mākaʻikaʻi e kipa ana i nā mākaʻikaʻi o ka Vatican City . Mai ka St. Peter's Square, hiki i nā malihini keʻike i nā Papal Apartments,ʻaʻole wale ma kahi wale nō kahi e noho ai ka Pope aʻo ka poho paha kahi e'ōlelo pinepine ai ka pontiff i ka lehulehu o nā malihini.
I ka makahiki 1656, kauohaʻo Pope Alexander VII iā Gian Lorenzo Bernini e hana i kahi kūpono kūpono no ka hanohano o St. Basilica. Ua hoʻokumuʻo Bernini i ka piazza elliptical, i kākoʻoʻia ma nāʻaoʻaoʻelua me nā lālaniʻehā o ka hoʻonohonohoʻana i nā koleka Doric i hoʻonohonohoʻia i loko o kahi koloka nani. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo nā pāpaleʻelua he mea ia e hōʻike ai i nā lima lima o St. Peter's Basilica,ʻo ka Church Mother of Church Church. ʻO ke kūkuluʻana i nā panalulu he 140 mau kiʻi e hōʻike ana i nā mea hemolele, nā martyrs, nā pope, a me nā mea hoʻokumu i nāʻoihana hoʻomana ma loko o ka hale pule Katolika.
ʻO ka mea nui loa o ka piazza o Bernini,ʻo ia keʻano o ka manaʻo. I ka manawa i hoʻomaka aiʻo Bernini i kāna mau hoʻolālā no ke kahua ākea, ua makemakeʻiaʻo ia e kūkulu i kahi kauhale oʻAigupita, kahi i kauʻia ma kona wahi i ka makahiki 1586. Ua kūkuluʻo Bernini i kāna piazza e pili ana i ke kikowaena o ke obelisk. Aia kekahi pūnāwai liʻiliʻiʻelua ma loko o ka piazza elliptical, e like ana kēlā me kēia ma waena o ka obelisk a me nā panalā.
ʻO kekahi punawai i kūkuluʻia e Carlo Maderno, nāna i hoʻoponopono hou i kaʻaoʻao o St. Basilica ma ka hopena o ke kenekulia 17; Ua hoʻokumuʻo Bernini i kahi punawai e like me kaʻaoʻao'ākau o ka'āpana, a laila pale i ka hoʻolālā piazza. ʻO nā pōhaku paʻi o ka piazza,ʻo ia hoʻi he hui pū me nā'āpana pōhaku a me nā'āpana travertine i hoʻolālāʻia mai ke kikowaena "'ōlelo" o ka obelisk, a hāʻawi pū i nā mea like.
No ka loaʻaʻana o nā manaʻo maikaʻi loa o ka hōʻailona o kēia hana papaha kiʻi, pono e kū kekahi ma kahi o nā mea e pili ana i nā pūnāwai o ka piazza. Mai ke alo o ka foci, nā lālaniʻehā o nā laina colonnades e kū pono ana ma hope o kekahi, e hana ana i kahi mea iʻikeʻia.
No ka hikiʻana i Piazza San Pietro, e lawe i ka Metropolitana Linea A a me ka stop o Ottaviano "San Pietro".
ʻO ka pane a ka luna kākau:ʻOiai aia ke kahuaʻohana Peter Peter i ka Vatican City, mai kahi manaʻo mākaʻikaʻi e manaʻoʻia he māhele o Roma.
