You Now Have Less Than a Year to Obtain a Real ID
Airline passengers who do not have a Real ID or an approved alternative by the deadline will be turned away, and not able to proceed through a security checkpoint. Do I need a REAL ID if I have a passport?
No, though you might want one. A REAL ID is a driver's license or non-driver's license state ID that meets U.S. federal guidelines and can be used for domestic air travel. While a passport can be used as your form of identification when flying domestically, a REAL ID allows you to leave your passport at home (as long as you're not leaving th U.S.). Learn more about flying domestically with a REAL ID from the TSA. More info click below ...

A sculptor, painter, and architect, Bernini was one of Rome’s last true Renaissance men, though his work properly belongs to the Baroque period.

Bernini didn’t invent the Baroque style, but he certainly helped to popularize it and make it one of the quintessential cultural expressions of 17th-century Italy. When you think of Rome today, it is his vision of Rome, both artistic and architectural, that springs to mind.

To see the work of the young Bernini, check out the Fontana della Barcaccia at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Although the official credit for the fountain goes to his father, it’s widely believed that the young Bernini worked on it as well.

Today, August 16th, is the Palio dell’Assunta, the second act of Palio di Siena 2023, it is the famous horse race that takes happens twice a summer in Siena!⁠
⁠
Ten riders on their horses, riding ba****ck and dressed in the colors of the contrada (neighborhood) they represent will circle Piazza del Campo three times. The fierce horse race itself doesn’t usually last more than 90 seconds. It is not uncommon for some of the riders to fall off their horses, although the race still continues. The first horse to reach the finish line, with or without its jockey, wins. ⁠
⁠

The Palio di Siena, which in its modern form took place the first time in 1656, is not just a horse race; rather, it is the culmination of ongoing rivalry between the contrade, which compete with great passion and pride. There are 17 contrade in Siena, but only ten participate in each race: the seven that did not participate in the previous year's Palio and three chosen by drawing lots.
