The International Kissing Day and The !

L’International Kissing Day ed il !
Anche oggi, oltre che a luglio, festeggiamo la bellezza e l'importanza del bacio 😘.
In questo lungo periodo di distanziamento sociale, consoliamoci con una scena di simposio: la rappresentazione sembra provenire da un altro tempo e un altro luogo, la (ormai) sannitica Cuma della seconda metà del IV secolo a.C.
Questo bellissimo cratere a figure rosse è stato attribuito dagli studiosi al c.d. Pittore CA: il ceramografo lavorava in un’officina che produceva vasi figurati per il mercato locale.​

Francesco Paolo Michetti (1854 – 1929)
La processione del Venerdì Santo
1895
Pastello, carboncino, acquerello su carta

Il Venerdì Santo è il giorno della settimana che precede la Pasqua cristiana. In occasione di questa ricorrenza i fedeli di tutta Italia commemorano la passione e la crocifissione di Gesù celebrando tipiche processioni legate alle tradizioni locali.

Quella di Chieti, raffigurata da Michetti nel 1895, è la più solenne fra le cerimonie abruzzesi, e una delle più antiche d'Italia. Durante questa processione, descritta da Gabriele D'Annunzio come "una fontana di lacrime", i confratelli procedono incappucciati in segno di penitenza e di lutto tra i vicoli del centro, mentre le donne indossano l'abito nero. L'artista ebbe certamente modo di assistere alla processione e di studiarla dal vero. La scena è pervasa dai fumi dell'incenso che brucia sul bordo strada e dai canti che sempre accompagnano i riti popolari; l'andamento corale dei fedeli, osservati nella varietà cromatica dei loro costumi, è esaltato dai colori chiari, resi quasi evanescenti dalla luminosità del pennello.

L'acquerello rientra tra gli schizzi e bozzetti realizzati dell'artista durante le visite fatte ai santuari devozionali abruzzesi, sua terra d'origine, ed è esposto nella Galleria dell'Ottocento del Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte.

“Keep on Travelin’”

Get Your Shot — Spread the News — and Let’s Keep on Travelin’!

Wearing my “Keep on Travelin’” t-shirt like a blankie and gripping my passport to manage the pain (just kidding), the nurse stuck me and pumped a dose of that magic juice that will, once enough of us have taken it, free us to once again embrace life physically — to travel, to hug, to sing and laugh without worrying about “social distance” and some evil virus.

As soon as I was eligible for a shot, I was on the list and booked. And in a couple of weeks, I’ll grab my passport again and get my second dose.

As I received my vaccination, I was filled with a special joy. I inhaled a thankfulness that we have modern medicine and science to beat this virus — and exhaled a prayer that people will recognize that herd immunity (our societal ticket to freedom) requires an all-for-one and one-for-all sensibility. Sure, we all have our quirky fears and hang-ups, but these vaccinations are serious: To beat COVID, we all need to be on board with this society-wide offensive. Please, get your shot and help your neighbors and loved ones to do the same.

And as a community of thoughtful travelers who care about equity and equal rights for all, let’s commit ourselves to the notion that people of all nations, rich and poor, are equally deserving of this vaccine. For one nation to be truly safe, all nations must be immune. Rich and mighty America will roll this vaccine out to all of us soon — and then we’ll help the rest of the world also climb out of the pandemic.

And sooner than we might imagine, we’ll be free once more to “keep on travelin’.”

To add meaning to the holiday season, every Christmas I help raise funds for Bread for the World through my traveling friends and network at Rick Steves' Europe. In these challenging days, the needs of those experiencing hunger and poverty are particularly great — and that means that the rewards of helping out are great too!

Thank God for new beginnings!

If I were to capture, with one piece of art, the optimism in my heart right now — the hope that we can come together as one community — it would be Botticelli's depiction of spring ("La Primavera"). Please share your own feelings with a painting and caption in the comments (or write a caption for my fave).

This has been a rough year. For many of us, it’s been the most challenging of our entire lives. But this morning, we finally got news of a brighter future. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are moving into the White House.

It’s been a hard-fought, and unprecedentedly ugly, campaign season. But I have supported Joe and Kamala because I am inspired by their persistence in keeping a hopeful eye to the future, with a realistic and patient view of the present.
Rick Steves' Europe has a full slate of European tours all locked, loaded, and ready to book for 2021. But we’re holding off on taking sign-ups...because, like the president-elect (and unlike the president-unelect), we recognize that we’re not yet out of the woods of this pandemic. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am not a patient person. But, like so many other things in 2020, being patient is something I am discovering for the first time...and I find that patience feels right.

COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are going up across the USA. And they’re going up across Europe, too. Europe is responding thoughtfully, with tightening restrictions and strong public messaging. America’s response has — so far — been no response at all…or flat out denial. If we want to get traveling in 2021, we have to hunker down and be safe over the next few months. Obviously, we all want our economy to be open and to thrive. Artful, smart, and temporary degrees of “shut down” may well be our best path to that open and thriving economy. Our soon-to-be-former president has made no indication of understanding that. But our next president certainly does. And that’s just one of many reasons I’m happy with the results of this election. And why, if you’re hoping to go to Europe any time soon, you should be, too.

One more note: I am sure many of you disagree with my politics — and I may disagree with yours. But, if you follow me on Facebook, I assume we are united by a love of travel. If you feel I’ve abused my “bully pulpit” the last month or so, I hope you’ll understand it’s because I love this country and desperately want to see us back on an equal footing with the rest of our planet. Every election, I have a strong preference of candidate — though normally I respect the other guy. (And, it must be noted, it’s always been a guy.) But this year, it was personal. I felt that supporting the Biden/Harris ticket was a nonpartisan act of patriotism. It was for the resilient (yet, as we’ve learned, not indestructible) ideals of what America stands for — ideals that inspire lovers of freedom and democracy and justice throughout the rest of the world.

While millions more voted for Biden, about 48% of our country did vote for Trump. One of my many dreams for 2021 is that the GOP can be reclaimed from the hateful, chaotic fringe of the Trump movement and restore respect and civility to our national discourse. Even as a proud Democrat, I have always respected Republicans. (And, as I recently confessed, I even voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980.) I have many Republican friends who I consider good people, admirable patriots, and great travelers. We’ve always found plenty of common ground, even if we agree to disagree on the issues. And I’m hopeful that the Biden Administration will be a time of national reconciliation — an opportunity to recognize that far more unites us than divides us. That’s especially important during a crisis.

And so, congratulations to Joe and Kamala! Now...get to work. Keep us safe. Spearhead the building of a sustainable and just economy. Make us proud. With your leadership, America’s gonna keep on travelin’!

When you’re looking at Michelangelo’s David, you’re looking at Renaissance Man. This statue captures the excitement of the can-do Renaissance, with its realism, no-shame nudity, and David’s confidence — he can slay giants. It’s a celebration of man.
