WASHINGTON, DC, Stati Uniti - il Campidoglio degli Stati Uniti si erge maestosamente su Capitol Hill, la sua iconica cupola che si erge sopra le ali est e ovest che ospitano il Senato e la camera dei rappresentanti. Questo capolavoro neoclassico, sede del Congresso degli Stati Uniti, funge da sede del ramo legislativo del governo federale. Il suo sorprendente esterno bianco e la grande architettura lo rendono uno dei simboli più riconoscibili della democrazia e del governo americani.

Photograph by David Coleman. The United States Capitol Building, situated prominently on Capitol Hill, is an enduring symbol of American democracy and the legislative process. This neoclassical structure, with its distinctive white exterior and imposing dome, dominates the Washington, DC skyline. The building's design, evolving over more than two centuries, reflects contributions from multiple architects including William Thornton, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and Thomas U. Walter. The central dome, completed in 1866, stands 288 feet (88 meters) tall and is crowned by the bronze Statue of Freedom. The east and west wings of the Capitol house the Senate and House of Representatives respectively, embodying the bicameral nature of the U.S. Congress. The building's grand façade, with its stately columns and broad steps, creates an impressive approach that has witnessed numerous historical events, from presidential inaugurations to significant legislative moments. Beyond its functional role in governance, the Capitol serves as a museum of American art and history, featuring numerous artworks, frescoes, and statues throughout its halls and chambers. As the visual focal point of the National Mall and the Washington, DC skyline, the Capitol Building stands not just as a working government building, but as an enduring testament to the principles of representative government and the ideals of American democracy.
