vicusceleratus *
On one side of the square where the church of San Pietro in Vincoli stands is a short passage which cuts like a tunnel below a complex of 16th century houses. In ancient Rome this was the site of an alley called vicus sceleratus, wicked lane, where according to tradition Tullia, daughter of Servius Tullius (king of Rome, 6th century BC), had driven her chariot over the corpse of her father, killed by her husband Tarquinius.
The gloomy memories linked to this dark passage were so alive in popular culture that also the ill-famed Lucrezia Borgia, daughter of pope Alexander VI, was believed to have poisoned her lovers in these buildings, which are known as the houses of the Borgias. * 1536 x 2048 * (1.91MB)
