🛶Immortal and mysterious, the soul of Venice consists of 118 islands joined by more than 400 bridges, separated by canals that act as maritime roads, perpetually traversed by gondolas and boats in a constant coming and going. To say it is overflowing with art treasures is even irreverent: romantic charm and history are absolutely unique here.


🛶Immortale e misteriosa, l’anima di Venezia è costituita da 118 isole unite da oltre 400 ponti, separate dai canali che fanno da strade marittime, perennemente percorsi da gondole e barche in un andirivieni costante. Dire che è stracolma di tesori d’arte è perfino irriverente: qui fascino romantico e storia sono assolutamente unici al mondo.

The beating heart of Sicily

Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is the perfect place to start getting to know the island, which, with its melting pot of cultures, from Norman to Moorish, from ancient Greek to Spanish, is one of Italy's most striking and varied regions. The extraordinary natural beauty, architecture and delicious food will enchant any tourist. One visit to Sicily is not enough, but when you find yourself there be sure to start with Palermo.

The Norman cultural heritage in Sicily can be seen in the splendid mosaics of the Palatine Chapel and Monreale Cathedral. The Palatine Chapel, which is dedicated to St. Peter and located in the Royal Palace, was commissioned by Roger II in 1132 in the Byzantine architectural style and therefore features some of the most impressive mosaics found in Italy. A few minutes' drive from the center of Palermo makes it possible to visit the cathedral of Monreale. Begun in 1174 by William II, the basilica is a curious combination of Franco-Norman, Byzantine and Arab styles, and boasts the largest concentration of Byzantine mosaics in Italy, totaling 6,500 square meters.

⛲️ The Fountain of the Naiads, a scandalous masterpiece.

⛲️ It is a truly majestic fountain that sits in the beautiful setting of the Piazza della Repubblica, but was once partly obscured because it was considered an object of scandal. Have you ever noticed the beauty of the Fountain of the Naiads?

It is located in one of Rome's most elegant squares, which for several years has been connecting Roma Termini station with Via del Corso and the monuments it houses. It is therefore a fountain that was built in a rather recent era, although its appearance might lead one to believe otherwise.
It was in fact built only in the late 1800s, at a time of great change for Rome and for Italy itself. It is a time when the eternal city is transformed into the eternal capital, into a secular place. So it is probably why the king decided to make Rome a modern Capital, full of inalberated streets and large fountains like the Fountain of the Naiads. It is a majestic work, which was made by the great-grandfather of the former mayor of Rome Rutelli, and represents mythological creatures, but above all the immense power that man has over nature.

In fact, the fountain shows not only the beautiful naiads, but also the Glaucus, who tries to grab hold of the flowing water, as if metaphorically the power of man is trying to overpower that of nature.
On the whole, the structure holds figures that belong to very ancient times, just as the water flowing within it does as well. The one in the fountain is in fact from a very ancient aqueduct, in whose waters it seems that at one time even Nero bathed, because at the time it was believed to be miraculous. Magical waters, just as magical is also the atmosphere that is created in these places. They are truly enchanting. After all, there was still a conservative air in the city, probably because it was still conditioned by the Vatican's schemes. As a result, many people found the nudity of the statues immoral, and for quite some time the fountain was covered with wooden boards, which were inserted precisely to hide the naked parts. In this way, however, it attracted even more attention from passersby.
Fortunately, these boards did not last long but were soon removed and the fountain returned to its original charm.

Accadde oggi: 21 aprile, il Natale di Roma, 2777º compleanno della Capitale.

Anticamente detto “Dies Romana” e conosciuto anche con il nome di Romaia, è una festività legata alla fondazione della città di Roma, festeggiata il 21 aprile.

Secondo la leggenda, narrata anche da Varrone, Romolo avrebbe infatti fondato la città di Roma il 21 aprile del 753 a.C. La fissazione al 21 aprile, riportata da Varrone, si deve ai calcoli astrologici del suo amico Lucio Taruzio.

Da questa data in poi derivava la cronologia romana, definita infatti con la locuzione latina Ab Urbe condita, ovvero "dalla fondazione della Città", che contava gli anni a partire da tale presunta fondazione.

07/04/2024

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, also known as the "Leaning Tower of Pisa," is located in the city of Pisa, exactly in Piazza del Duomo known as "Piazza dei Miracoli." This famous tower began to lean as soon as its construction began in 1173. The Leaning Tower of Pisa measures 55.86 meters in height with an estimated weight of 14,700 tons and an inclination of about 4° extending to 3.9 m of the vertical. In 1964, the Italian government asked for help to prevent the Leaning Tower of Pisa from collapsing.
In 1987, UNESCO declared the entire monumental complex of the Piazza dei Miracoli a World Heritage Site. In 1990, the Leaning Tower closed its doors to the public as a security measure, and after several renovations, it reopened again on June 16, 2001.

The Tower of Pisa is a true jewel of Romanesque art. It is also a monument that has gained importance over the centuries with its pronounced inclination creating admiration and concern for experts and tourists alike. The Tower of Pisa has been proposed as one of the 7 wonders of the modern world!
This tower is the bell tower of the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in the Cathedral Square and has 55.86 meters in height, 8 floors and about 294 steps. Its 8 floors are surrounded by a loggia with arches that reproduce the motif of the Cathedral facade and has 7 bells on the top floor of the Tower, its names are: Assumption, the largest and heaviest, Crucifix, San Ranieri, Dal Pozzo, Pasquereccia, Terza and Vespruccio. At present, they continue to ring before the start of the Cathedral masses and at noon thanks to an electronic system.

For over a millennium, Florence has been a global icon of beauty. Even its lesser-known neighbourhoods are a delight.

The cradle of the Renaissance and the world capital of art in the 15th century, it boasts one of the oldest historic centres and some of the most famous museums in the world, as well as one of the most iconic and distinctive landscapes as far as the eye can see. Everything in Florence is spectacular: from the shops to the streets that lead to the hills overlooking the most touristy areas, from the most authentic and popular neighbourhoods, just outside the historic centre, to the monuments that exhibit its soul.

All the stones and streets of Assisi speak of St. Francis. One descends to the Portiuncula, ascends Subasio to the Hermitage of the Prisons or heads toward the Convent of San Damiano, everywhere there is a mystical air, as if the saint could appear again at any moment.

Transformed by St. Francis, from the fortress it was, into the sacred city of Christian peace. Assisi rises in steps, with mostly narrow, winding, steep streets. Assisi like so many Umbrian cities, but perhaps to a greater extent, gives the happiness that comes from the grace of everything on which the eyes rest, with nothing jarring intruding to interrupt contemplation and taste abandonment.

🎭The origins of the craziest holiday of the year.

🎭The word "carnival" derives from the Latin carnem levare or "to eliminate meat" since in ancient times it indicated the feast held on the last day of carnival (Shrove Tuesday) before the period of abstinence and fasting dictated by Lent during which no one was allowed to eat meat! Carnival does not have a fixed date: each year depends on when Easter falls.
In fact, Carnival time begins on the first Sunday of the nine preceding Easter. It peaks on Thursday and ends on the following Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday, which precedes Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.

🎭During these festivities it was permissible to let loose, to free oneself from obligations and commitments, to engage in joking and playing. Moreover, masquerading made the rich and the poor unrecognizable, and thus social differences disappeared. Once the festivities were over, strictness and order once again dictated society.
The proverb associated with carnival, derived from the ancient Latin saying "semel in anno licet insanire" - "once a year it is permissible to go mad"

🎭According to numerous sources, including Apuleius, the "disguise" must be traced back to a festival in honor of the Egyptian goddess Isis, during which numerous masked groups were present. This custom was also imported into the Roman Empire: at the end of the old year a man covered in goatskins was carried in procession and struck with wands.

🎭In Italy, each region celebrates Carnival in its own way, but colors and desire for fun unite the festivities throughout the Boot.

🎭In Venice, for example, one of the most famous "Carnivals" in the world is celebrated, where pageantry and beautiful costumes reign, legacies of a centuries-old tradition; in Viareggio, on the other hand, it is the floats that make everything magical, as well as in Acireale, Sicily; in Ivrea then there is the very famous Battle of the Oranges, while in Sciacca splendid works in papier-mâché are made.

⛲️Le fontane di Roma
I romani già dall’antichità erano appassionati cultori dell’acqua pubblica e ne sono testimonianza le innumerevoli fontane presenti nei diversi quartieri della città. La conformazione geologica del terreno su cui Roma fu edificata dava sbocco naturale a innumerevoli sorgenti spontanee e per questa ragione in quasi tutta l’area urbana della Capitale esistono tutt’oggi fontane di diversa dimensione e valore artistico culturale. Alcune sono infatti vere e proprie opere d’arte che ci raccontano del lavoro scrupoloso di artisti e scultori che diedero vita a dei capolavori assoluti. Le più belle fontane di Roma si trovano nei luoghi più amati e frequentati ogni anno dai moltissimi turisti presenti nella Capitale, ed abbelliscono alcune tra le più famose piazze del centro storico e non solo.
⛲️🇬🇧The fountains of Rome
The Romans from ancient times were already passionate lovers of public water, and the countless fountains in the city's various neighborhoods bear witness to this fact. The geological conformation of the land on which Rome was built gave natural outlet to innumerable spontaneous springs, and for this reason in almost all the urban area of the Capital there are still today fountains of different sizes and artistic cultural value. Some are in fact true works of art that tell us of the painstaking work of artists and sculptors who gave birth to absolute masterpieces. The most beautiful fountains in Rome can be found in the most beloved and frequented places each year by the many tourists in the capital, and they embellish some of the most famous squares in the historic center and beyond.

⛲️La Fontana della Barcaccia, Piazza di Spagna
La Fontana della Barcaccia (nella foto di copertina) domina la splendida Piazza di Spagna ed è meta di centinaia di migliaia di turisti ogni anno. Fu edificata tra il 1626 e il 1629 per volontà di papa Urbano VIII Barberini. L’architetto Pietro Bernini che ne curò il progetto volle realizzare qualcosa di unico ed esclusivo. Costruita con travertino, la forma della sua vasca ricorda infatti quella di una barca e l’acqua sembra straripare ai suoi lati creando l’effetto dell’affondamento.
⛲️🇬🇧The Fountain of the Barcaccia, Spanish Steps
The Fountain of the Barcaccia (pictured on the cover) dominates the beautiful Spanish Steps and is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. It was built between 1626 and 1629 at the behest of Pope Urban VIII Barberini. The architect Pietro Bernini who oversaw its design wanted to create something unique and exclusive. Built with travertine, the shape of its basin in fact resembles that of a boat and the water seems to overflow on its sides creating the effect of sinking.

⛲️Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Piazza Navona
La Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, opera di Gian Lorenzo Bernini, alimentata dall’Acqua Vergine, venne inaugurata il 12 giugno 1651 da Innocenzo X Pamphilj (1644-1655). Imponente e maestosa, sorge al centro della piazza e si fa notare in tutta la sua bellezza anche grazie all’obelisco egizio che si innalza e domina le quattro gigantesche statue che i collaboratori del Bernini vollero dedicare a quattro fiumi rappresentanti i continenti, ovvero il Nilo, il Danubio, il Rio della Plata ed il Gange.
⛲️🇬🇧Fountain of the Four Rivers, Piazza Navona
The Fountain of the Four Rivers, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, fed by the Acqua Vergine, was inaugurated on June 12, 1651 by Innocent X Pamphilj (1644-1655). Imposing and majestic, it stands in the center of the square and stands out in all its beauty, thanks in part to the Egyptian obelisk that rises and dominates the four gigantic statues that Bernini's collaborators wanted to dedicate to four rivers representing the continents, namely the Nile, the Danube, the Rio de la Plata and the Ganges.

⛲️Fontana dei Leoni, Piazza del Popolo
Al centro di Piazza del Popolo sorge la Fontana dei Leoni, edificata tra il 1814 ed il 1828 su progetto di Giuseppe Valadier, utilizzando marmo e travertino. Alimentata dall’acquedotto Vergine, domina la piazza grazie alla presenza di un grande obelisco sistino al centro e ai quattro leoni di marmo bianco in stile egizio dalla cui bocca sgorgano copiosi getti d’acqua.
⛲️🇬🇧Fountain of the Lions, Piazza del Popolo
At the center of Piazza del Popolo stands the Fountain of the Lions, built between 1814 and 1828 to a design by Giuseppe Valadier, using marble and travertine. Fed by the Virgin Aqueduct, it dominates the square thanks to the presence of a large Sistine obelisk in the center and the four Egyptian-style white marble lions from whose mouths copious jets of water gush forth.

⛲️Fontana del Tritone, Piazza Barberini
In piazza Barberini si trova la Fontana del Tritone, opera di Gian Lorenzo Bernini, agli inizi del 1600. Un’opera molto differente dalle altre realizzate dall’artista in quanto non poggia su basamento scultoreo, ma su di una struttura vuota al centro che conferisce maggior slancio ed eleganza all’intero lavoro. Bellissima e particolare, unisce una tecnica perfetta ad armonia e gusto artistico. Le api raffigurate sullo stemma della famiglia Barberini, simbolo indiscusso della casata, si riferiscono al trionfo della Divina Provvidenza, mentre i delfini, presenti alla base della fontana, ricordano in maniera simbolica i benefici elargiti dalla famiglia pontificia.
⛲️🇬🇧Triton Fountain, Barberini Square
In Piazza Barberini is the Triton Fountain, the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the early 1600s. This work is very different from the others made by the artist in that it does not rest on a sculptural base, but on a hollow structure in the center that gives greater momentum and elegance to the entire work. Beautiful and distinctive, it combines perfect technique with harmony and artistic taste. The bees depicted on the coat of arms of the Barberini family, the undisputed symbol of the lineage, refer to the triumph of Divine Providence, while the dolphins, present at the base of the fountain, symbolically recall the benefits bestowed by the papal family.

⛲️Fontana di Trevi, Piazza Trevi
Forse la più famosa fontana di Roma, conosciuta ed apprezzata in tutto il mondo, la Fontana di Trevi è un passaggio obbligato per chi visita la Capitale. Nel cuore del centro storico, in Piazza Trevi, questa fontana è la più grande e una fra le più celebri fontane della città. Costruita sulla facciata di Palazzo Poli, da Nicola Salvi, noto architetto che vinse un concorso indetto da Papa Clemente XII nel 1732, cui parteciparono molti tra i maggiori artisti dell’epoca. La fontana presenta un ampio bacino circondato da sculture e statue al cui centro domina la figura di Oceano alla guida di un cocchio a forma di conchiglia.
⛲️🇬🇧Trevi Fountain, Trevi Square
Perhaps the most famous fountain in Rome, known and appreciated all over the world, the Trevi Fountain is a must-see for anyone visiting the capital. In the heart of the historic center, in Piazza Trevi, this fountain is the largest and one of the most famous fountains in the city. It was built on the facade of Palazzo Poli, by Nicola Salvi, a well-known architect who won a competition announced by Pope Clement XII in 1732, in which many of the leading artists of the time participated. The fountain features a wide basin surrounded by sculptures and statues at the center of which dominates the figure of Ocean driving a shell-shaped chariot.

⛲️Fontana della Dea Roma, Piazza del Campidoglio
La Fontana della Dea Roma si trova sullo sfondo della piazza del Campidoglio e fu sede dal XII secolo del Comune cittadino. L’opera, su progetto di Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), venne realizzata nel XVI secolo e fu totalmente edificata in marmo. La fontana centrale si colloca tra le due statue del Nilo e del Tevere, ed è parte architettonica della piazza in forma più discreta e sobria rispetto ad altre più maestose ed imponenti presenti nel centro storico della città.
⛲️🇬🇧Fountain of the Goddess Rome, Capitol Square
The Fountain of the Goddess Rome is located in the background of the Capitol Square and was the seat from the 12th century of the city municipality. The work, designed by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), was built in the 16th century and was totally constructed of marble. The central fountain sits between the two statues of the Nile and the Tiber, and is an architectural part of the square in a more discreet and understated form than other more majestic and imposing ones in the city's historic center.

⛲️La fontana di Piazza della Rotonda
Edificata nell’omonima piazza, su progetto dell’architetto Giacomo Della Porta, ad opera dello scultore Leonardo Sormani alla fine del Cinquecento, si erge maestosa proprio davanti all’ingresso del Pantheon.
⛲️🇬🇧The fountain in Piazza della Rotonda
Built in the square of the same name, designed by architect Giacomo Della Porta by sculptor Leonardo Sormani in the late 16th century, it stands majestically right in front of the entrance to the Pantheon.

⛲️La fontana delle Naiadi, Piazza della Repubblica
In Piazza della Repubblica, nel rione Castro Pretorio, sorge la fontana delle Naiadi, costruita con l’utilizzo di granito, travertino, bronzo e conglomerato cementizio. La sua datazione risale al periodo 1885-1914, su progetto di Alessandro Guerrieri.
⛲️🇬🇧Fountain of the Naiads, Piazza della Repubblica
In Piazza della Repubblica, in the Castro Pretorio district, stands the Fountain of the Naiads, built using granite, travertine, bronze, and concrete conglomerate. It dates from 1885-1914, designed by Alessandro Guerrieri.

⛲️Fontane di piazza Farnese
Sono due fontane gemelle che si trovano nell’omonima piazza. In origine erano semplicemente due vasche senza acqua corrente e fu in una fase successiva, nel 1626, che l’architetto Girolamo Rainaldi poté finalmente trasformare le due vasche in fontane creando ben sette punti da cui fuoriusciva l’acqua: lo zampillo centrale, le due estremità della vasca romana, e altri quattro getti nella vasca più grande.
⛲️🇬🇧Fountains of Piazza Farnese
These are twin fountains located in the square of the same name. Originally they were simply two basins without running water, and it was at a later stage, in 1626, that the architect Girolamo Rainaldi was finally able to transform the two basins into fountains by creating as many as seven points from which water spurted out: the central jet, the two ends of the Roman basin, and four more jets in the larger basin.

Walking tour con Riccardo, qualcuno ha sete? 😉

La Fontana della Barcaccia ⛲️ è una fontana di Roma, situata in piazza di Spagna, ai piedi della scalinata di Trinità dei Monti. Fu realizzata tra il 1626 e il 1629 per volontà di papa Urbano VIII Barberini La sagoma della fontana della Barcaccia del Bernini, opera più scultorea che architettonica, è a dir poco inconfondibile. Ma hai notato tutti i dettagli? Ad esempio, a prua e a poppa, l’acqua zampilla verso l’interno dell’imbarcazione da due grandi soli, e verso l’esterno da bocche di finte cannoniere affiancate dai grandi stemmi papali con le api, simbolo dei Barberini.
L’acqua che straripa dai fianchi, poi, rende perfettamente l’idea della barca che sta affondando.

The Fountain of the Barcaccia ⛲️ is a fountain in Rome, located in Piazza di Spagna at the foot of the Spanish Steps. It was built between 1626 and 1629 at the behest of Pope Urban VIII Barberini The silhouette of Bernini's Barcaccia fountain, a work more sculptural than architectural, is unmistakable, to say the least. But did you notice all the details? For example, at the prow and stern, water gushes inward from two large suns, and outward from faux gun ports flanked by the large papal coats of arms with bees, the symbol of the Barberini family.
The water overflowing from the sides, then, perfectly renders the idea of the boat sinking.

Tra le città più antiche del mondo, dal 1993 vanta i Sassi e il Parco delle Chiese Rupestri come Patrimonio dell'Umanità, mentre nel 2019 è stata insignita del titolo di Capitale Europea della Cultura. Di giorno, la luce del sole avvolge le sue case in pietra, conferendo loro un colore molto simile a quello degli edifici della Palestina. Di notte, punteggiata da piccole fiamme, appare come un immenso presepe allestito sotto il cielo stellato con la luna a fare da guardia.

At night, dotted with tiny flames, it appears like an immense nativity scene set up under the starry sky with the moon guarding it.

Hi Riccardo, what are you doing in Capri? 😎
Across from the Sorrento Peninsula in the Bay of Naples lies a world-famous gem: the island of Capri, renowned for its beauty and worldly atmosphere that has seduced writers, artists and show business personalities. The island boasts a lush and unique natural environment that is even home to animal and plant species that only exist here today. Capri is a mix of history, culture, landscape and art that has made it the protagonist of legends and tales, many of which have a place that unites them: the famous Piazzetta, the pivot of the island and the village, the essence of its identity. All around, immense and powerful, the splendid sea that frames this wonder, a sea of travelers and fishermen, of tourists and explorers, a sea that has helped make Capri the myth it is.

"Le antiche porte raccontano la storia
Opere d'arte sulle porte di case disabitate a Calabria
Il progetto nasce dalla volontà di salvare dal degrado e dall'abbandono parti del paese svuotate dall'emigrazione. Fin dalla prima edizione dello scorso anno, l'obiettivo dei promotori è stato quello di rivitalizzare il centro storico e renderlo attraente per i turisti. La realizzazione di opere d'arte sulle porte delle case disabitate ha contribuito a ravvivare l'interesse per il cuore antico del paese. Si tratta di un percorso di riscoperta delle tradizioni, della cultura locale, dei valori della tradizione rurale e della religiosità più radicata, che collega il Museo della Civiltà Contadina, il santuario della Madonna della Neve e le abitazioni rupestri.
Il percorso tra le porte dipinte è arricchito da poesie sui muri, scritte in vernacolo da poeti locali. Un tempo queste strade erano popolate da bambini che giocavano e donne che lavoravano per preparare il pranzo.
Le opere realizzate qui fanno rivivere questo mondo passato. ❤️

"Ancient doors tell the story.
Artwork on the doors of uninhabited houses in Calabria
The project stems from the desire to save from degradation and abandonment parts of the town emptied by emigration. Since the first edition last year, the goal of the promoters has been to revitalize the historic center and make it attractive to tourists. The creation of works of art on the doors of uninhabited houses helped revive interest in the old heart of the village. It is a path to rediscover traditions, local culture, the values of rural tradition and deep-rooted religiosity, connecting the Museum of Peasant Civilization, the shrine of Our Lady of the Snow and the rock dwellings.
The path between the painted doors is enriched by poems on the walls, written in the vernacular by local poets. These streets were once populated by children playing and women working to prepare lunch.
The works created here bring this past world to life. ❤️
