The historic aqueduct of Perugia seen from above. The Historic Aqueduct of Perugia, also known as the Medieval Aqueduct of the Fontana Maggiore, is one of the most fascinating engineering marvels of the city. Built between 1254 and 1277, this aqueduct was intended to bring water to the Fontana Maggiore, located in the heart of the historic center of Perugia. With its over 4 kilometers of extension, the aqueduct represents an extraordinary example of medieval hydraulic engineering. Unlike Roman aqueducts, which operated on an open surface, the aqueduct of Perugia used a pressure system, allowing the water to rise thanks to the principle of communicating vessels. This innovative approach made Perugia famous throughout Europe for its ability to make the water “rise”. Observed from above, the aqueduct offers a unique perspective on the city. The path of the aqueduct, today transformed into a charming pedestrian street, winds between the roofs of medieval houses and the narrow streets of the historic center. Walking along this path, you can admire the architectural beauty of Perugia, with its towers, churches and historic buildings that stand out on the horizon. Walking along the aqueduct is like taking a journey through time. Each stone tells a story of innovation, challenges and successes. During the Middle Ages, Perugia faced numerous problems of water supply due to population growth and frequent droughts. The construction of the aqueduct was a response to these challenges and a symbol of the city's power and determination. Today, the aqueduct is not only an important tourist attraction, but also a cultural heritage to be preserved. Local authorities and cultural associations constantly work to maintain and enhance this extraordinary work, so that it can continue to tell its story to future generations.

The medieval aqueduct of the Fontana Maggiore is a medieval aqueduct located in the city of Perugia. The aqueduct, more than 4 kilometers long, was built to bring water to the Fontana Maggiore. Historically less highlighted than the fountain and considered as its poor relative, it was nevertheless a work of great historical importance and of extraordinary daring for the time.

Some slam arches in the village of Trevi in Umbria. In the heart of the medieval village of Trevi, you can admire some fascinating slam arches, architectural structures that not only embellish the narrow streets of the historic center, but also perform a fundamental function of anti-seismic consolidation. The slam arches, also known as contrast arches, were introduced as a preventive measure against seismic damage. These arches connect the facades of opposite buildings, creating a solid structure that counteracts horizontal thrusts during earthquakes. Their presence is particularly evident in narrow streets, where the limited space does not allow the use of traditional buttresses. These arches are often built in brick and can have one or more overlapping orders. Their low arch shape is designed to maximize compressive strength and prevent the overturning of the facades. Furthermore, some arches are reinforced with metal chains embedded in the masonry, which further increase the structural stability of the connected buildings. Walking through Trevi, the slam arches offer suggestive views and represent a tangible example of how traditional architecture can be integrated with advanced technical solutions for the safety of buildings. Their conservation is essential not only to maintain the aesthetics of the village, but also to preserve the historical memory of the construction techniques of the past.

Here is where the village is located:
In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it had its best period, characterized by extraordinary trade that favored its economic prosperity (it was called "the dry port"), still testified today by the numerous buildings in the historic center, worthy of appearing in much larger cities, and the economic growth was accompanied by lively cultural and social activity. Already in 1469, to favor the circulation of money a Jewish banker was called, one of the few professions to which those men were authorized, and despite this he was persecuted and later one of the very first Monti di Pietà was erected, followed later by the Monte Frumentario and various other charitable and welfare institutions.

A glimpse of an alley in Lavagna. If I'm not mistaken, these are the porticos of Via Dante Alighieri, the street that passes in front of the Basilica of Santo Stefano, very characteristic because the floor is made of slate.

A beautiful tray of Norwegian smoked salmon. Norwegian smoked salmon is a premium product that has conquered tables around the world. Norway, with its cold, clean waters, offers the ideal environment for farming this prized fish, ensuring quality and flavour in every slice. The tradition of smoking salmon in Norway dates back centuries, when it was used as a method of preservation. Today, this technique has been perfected, combining traditional methods with modern technology to obtain a product of the highest quality. The salmon is raised in controlled conditions, respecting rigorous environmental and animal welfare standards. Norwegian smoked salmon is known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health. It is also an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. These nutrients contribute to a balanced diet and provide numerous health benefits. The smoking process begins with the selection of the best salmon, which is then salted and left to rest to absorb the salt evenly. The salmon is then cold or hot smoked, using fine woods such as beech or oak, which give the fish its characteristic aroma and delicate flavor. Norwegian smoked salmon is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be served as an appetizer, accompanied by brown bread and butter, or used to enhance salads, pasta and sushi. Its soft texture and smoky flavor make it an ideal ingredient for refined and creative dishes. Norway is a world leader in sustainable salmon farming. Norwegian farms follow rigorous practices to minimize environmental impact, while ensuring the health and well-being of the fish. This commitment to sustainability makes Norwegian smoked salmon a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Smoked salmon is a food made from preserved salmon, which is cured and smoked. Usually, salmon of the species Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon) is used, but Oncorhynchus masou (Japanese salmon) or other species of the genus Oncorhynchus are sometimes used. Smoked salmon has a long history in Native American cultures. Smoked salmon was also a common dish in Greek and Roman culture throughout history, often eaten at large gatherings and celebrations. During the Middle Ages, smoked salmon became part of the diet of the people and was consumed in soups and salads. The 19th century marked the rise of the American smoked salmon industry on the West Coast, processing Pacific salmon from Alaska and Oregon. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

The stained glass window of the Convent of San Francisco in Cadiz. The Convent of San Francisco in Cadiz is known not only for its historic architecture, but also for its beautiful stained glass windows. Among these, the stained glass window in the main chapel stands out for its beauty and complexity. The stained glass window was created in the late Middle Ages, a period in which stained glass art reached its peak in Europe. Commissioned by the Franciscan friars, the window was intended to depict scenes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of the order. Each panel of the window tells a different story from the life of the saint, from his conversion to his preaching to the animals. The stained glass window is composed of numerous panels of colored glass, joined together by thin strips of lead. The bright colors and intricate decorations make each scene a masterpiece of sacred art. The details are extraordinary: the faces of the saints, the expressions of the animals, and the background landscapes are all rendered with astonishing precision. The technique used to create the stained glass window is that of painting on glass, followed by firing in a kiln to fix the colors. This technique allows for bright and long-lasting colors that resist the passage of time. In addition, the use of lead to join the pieces of glass gives the window a solid and resistant structure. The stained glass window represents the devotion of the Franciscan friars and their dedication to spreading the message of St. Francis. Furthermore, it continues to be a source of inspiration for visitors and believers who admire its beauty and spiritual meaning.
