In Rome there are 3 buildings that refer directly to the structure of the Colosseum:
- Courtyard of Palazzo Venezia → the shape of the arch framed by semi-columns and overlapping orders is used. The work is attributed to Alberti. With the typological resumption of the Colosseum, he underlines the monumental character of the building and the importance that the courtyard assumes in the building.
- Paul II had ordered the expansion of Palazzo San Marco by building the Viridarium (Palazzetto) and adding the portico and the Loggia delle Benedizioni to the Basilica of San Marco → the viridarium, a garden surrounded by loggias, has in the second order a recovery of the terminal cornice of the Colosseum, while the Loggia takes up the model of the framed arch and the superimposed order of the ancient monument. Here too, the revival of the model underlines the importance of the building.
- Loggia delle Benedizioni in San Pietro -> begun under Pius II. Alberti was proposed as an architect. Here too there are 3 orders of superimposed arches that respect the Doric - Ionic - Corinthian succession. The use of classical morphology accentuates the monumentality of the building.
