Spanish croquetas tasted in Tenerife. There are two things that I really love to eat when I'm in Spain and I always try to order them: jamon serrano and croquetas. In Santa Cruz de Tenerife I found this place, just outside the center, where they were really good and the right size for my appetite!

Michelangelo's Christ of Minerva in Rome. In the heart of Rome, in one of the oldest and most evocative neighborhoods of the city, stands the majestic church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Inside this sacred building, among works of art of inestimable value, stands out the statue of the Christ of Minerva, a masterpiece sculpted by the famous Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. The statue of the Christ of Minerva, also known as the Risen Christ or Christ of the Pietà, is an imposing marble sculpture depicting Jesus Christ after the resurrection. Commissioned by a young Dominican friar, Fra' Ludovico di Pietro in 1514, the work was designed to adorn the high altar of the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. However, the original design included a statue of the Virgin Mary, but was later changed when Michelangelo accepted the commission. The statue took several years to complete and was completed around 1521. Michelangelo masterfully worked the white marble, creating an extraordinary work that continues to amaze today with its beauty and realism. The statue of the Christ of Minerva shows Christ in a solemn and calm pose, with his body erect and leaning on the cross. His serene face and intricate anatomical details give the work an extraordinary sense of life and spirituality. The statue of the Christ of Minerva fits into the artistic and cultural context of the Italian Renaissance, a period of fervent creativity and spiritual renewal. Michelangelo, one of the greatest artists of all time, left an indelible mark on the artistic panorama of the time with works such as David, the Pietà and the Sistine Chapel. His skill in modeling marble and capturing the essence of humanity has influenced generations of subsequent artists. The statue of Christ of Minerva represents a high point in Michelangelo's career and an icon of the Italian Renaissance. With its timeless beauty and profound spiritual meaning, it continues to inspire and move visitors who venture into the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. It is an extraordinary work of art that reminds us of the greatness of human ingenuity and the power of faith.

The Christ of Minerva is a marble statue (h. 205 cm) by Michelangelo Buonarroti, made in 1519-1520 approximately and now preserved in the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. In 1514 Michelangelo, although he was bound by an exclusive contract with the Della Rovere heirs to work on the tomb of Julius II, did not refuse lucrative private commissions, such as the one received from Bernando Cencio, canon of St. Peter's in the Vatican, Mario Scappucci, Pietro Paolo Castellano and Metello Vari for a resurrected Christ, to be placed in the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

Dahlia Cav. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae family, native to Mexico, where the tuber is considered edible despite its pungent taste. The genus name is a tribute to the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl (1751-1789), a student of Linnaeus. It includes herbaceous species with oblong tuberous roots, erect stem, often woody at the base, of variable height between 20 cm and 2 m, large compound leaves, formed by 3-5 toothed leaflets, bearing very decorative simple or double flowers of various shapes and colors.

The Filarete Tower is a perfect fusion of Gothic and Renaissance elements, with an imposing red brick structure and intricate decorative details. The tower is topped by a battlement and a statue of Saint Ambrose, the patron saint of Milan. The mechanical clock on the facade is a fascinating addition that draws the attention of visitors.

During the Second World War, the Sforza Castle suffered severe damage, but was completely restored, including the Filarete Tower, to preserve the city's historical heritage. Today, the Filarete Tower and the Sforza Castle are open to the public and are a must-see for anyone visiting Milan. The castle also houses several museums and exhibitions, which offer an overview of Milan's history and art.

Where is the tower located:
The Sforza Castle is a large fortified complex located in Milan just outside the city's historic center. It was built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, who had recently become Duke of Milan, on the remains of a previous medieval fortification from the 14th century known as Castello di Porta Giovia (or Zobia). In the same area where the medieval Castello di Porta Giovia stood, in Roman times there was the Castrum Portae Jovis, one of the four defensive fortifications of Roman Milan.

The final part of via Nazionale towards the centre of Sestri Levante. One of the busiest streets in my Sestri is definitely via Nazionale. In addition to crossing practically the entire town of Sestri longitudinally, it is the street that hosts the greatest number of businesses and shops. This is its final part, one-way, just before the roundabout of Piazza Sant’Antonio.
