The Island Ischia a perfect day- crystal clear water. Just bliss!

Lago d’Averno. Avernus was of major importance to the Romans, who considered it to be the entrance to Hades. Roman writers often used the name as a synonym for the underworld. In Virgil’s Aeneid, Aeneas descends to the underworld through a cave near the lake. In Hyginus’ Fabulae, Odysseus also goes to the lower world from this spot, where he meets Elpenor, his comrade who went missing at Circe’s palace.[1] Despite the alleged dangers of the lake, the Romans were happy to settle its shores, on which villas and vineyards were established. The lake’s personification, the deus Avernus, was worshipped in lakeside temples. A large bathhouse was built on the eastern shore of the lake. In 37 BCE, the Roman general Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa converted the lake into a naval base named the Portus Julius after Octavian. It was linked by a canal to a nearby lake (Lucrinus Lacus) and, from there, to the sea. The lake shore was also connected to the Greek colony of Cumae by an underground passage known as Cocceio’s Cave (Grotta di Cocceio), which was one kilometre (0.6 mi) long and wide enough to be used by chariots. This was the world’s first major road tunnel; it remained usable until as recently as the 1940s.

Vivo Per Lei, Carnevale Venezia 2020

Just over a month ago I stood in St. Mark’s Square before the flight of the angel, a highlight of Carnevale and a dream of mine to see. As we stood waiting, I heard the first few notes of a favorite song, Vivo Per Lei. Tears streaming down my face, the moment unfolded almost frozen in time. Beyond my dreams, beyond imagination. Again, it felt like Italy arranged a moment just for me. Now, looking back, it seems so long ago. The song title means, I Live for Her. It is about music. It is also exactly how I feel about Italy. For all of us who can’t be there, enjoy, and know she has withstood far greater than this. We will see her again. “Vivo per lei da quando sai La prima volta l’ho incontrata Non mi ricordo come, ma Mi entrata dentro e c’ è restata Vivo per lei perché mi fa Vibrare forte l’anima” “I live for her since when, you know, From the first time I met her I don’t remember how, but She entered me and there she stayed I live for her because she Strongly shakes my soul” Italia, Io Vivo per Lei Lindsay Sinko, PFI Tampa Office #vivoperlei, #italy, #italia, #forzaitalia, #covid19, #staystrong
