Ponte giapponese a Hoi An

Ponte giapponese a Hoi An.
Nella splendida città storica in Vietnam, oltre alle lanterne, c’è anche questo famoso monumento.
Il nome in lingua locale è Lai Vien Kieu e serviva per unire due parti della cittadina (da una stava la comunità giapponese appunto).
E’ molto visitato ed ovviamente fotografato!
Purtroppo in italiano trovo proprio poco per indicarvi un sito per approfondire.

The former Champa port city, located on the Thu Bon estuary, was an important Vietnamese trading center during the 16th and 17th centuries, when Japanese and Chinese from various provinces, Dutch and Indians settled there. During this period of trade with China, the city was called Hai Pho (City on the Sea) in Vietnamese.

Notre Dame de Saigon

Notre Dame de Saigon.
La cattedrale di Ho Chi Minh costruita dai francesi alla fine del 1800.
Ci sono molte chiese cattoliche in Vietnam, molte di più di quanto potessi immaginare prima di venire in questo paese.
E’ proprio di fianco all’ufficio postale l’altro famoso edificio occidentale della città vietnamita.

Drago su un tetto di Hue

Drago su un tetto di Hue.
Queste statue, che quasi sempre raffigurano animali mitologici, mi piacciono moltissimo e le fotografo sempre.
Questa è una delle tante della città Imperiale di Huè, in Vietnam, e rappresenta un drago (credo).
Ho provato a cercare online se hanno un nome particolare (come i Gargoil sui tetti di Notre Dam) ma non sono stato in grado di trovare nulla.
Se vogliamo poi dire tutta la verità mi ricordano molto i disegni ed i colori delle statue Maya che avevo visto in Messico qualche anno fa a Coba (anche se so che non centrano proprio nulla).

Lion in San Lorenzo in Genoa

Lion in San Lorenzo in Genoa.
The most important church in Liguria is also the most majestic. This is one of the two lions that guard the front steps.
A couple of days ago I had a free hour and I used it to take some photos of you.
And this is one of the classic shots of this wonder that I slightly corrected in color.

I really like this photo, what about you? Add a comment comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Here all the photos I took on my last visit to the Cathedral:

If you are interested, this is the official website that updates you on Catholic initiatives and liturgies: chiesadigenova.it.

The Cathedral of San Lorenzo is the most important place of Catholic worship in the city of Genoa, the metropolitan cathedral of the archdiocese of the same name. It was consecrated to the saint in 1118 by Pope Gelasius II when it was not yet finished and the facade was missing.

My Son Sanctuary

My Son Sanctuary.
Uno dei luoghi più belli ed affascinanti, storicamente parlando, che ho avuto il piacere di visitare in Vietnam.
Si trova ad una quarantina di chilometri da Hoi An (la famosa città delle lanterne) ed è sicuramente un posto stupendo.
Non sono mai stato a visitare (ma mi riprometto di farlo prima o poi) uno dei più famosi luoghi come questo (tipo Angkor Wat in Cambogia). Da come leggo credo che siano ancora più maestosi di questo e non riesco nemmeno ad immaginarlo.
Assolutamente consigliato se avrete il piacere di passare qualche giorno nella città di Hoi An.

La traccia più antica di monumenti di culto a Mỹ Sơn è la stele con iscrizione del IV secolo, in cui il re Bhadravarman annuncia la fondazione di un tempio dedicato a Shiva Bhadreshvara. Questa fondazione ha un particolare rilievo storico, in quanto il complesso religioso di Mỹ Sơn era il principale luogo di culto dei sovrani del regno Champa, nonché il luogo dove venivano cremati dopo la loro morte.

Gli antichi portali della città Imperiale di Hue in Vietnam

Gli antichi portali della città Imperiale di Hue in Vietnam.
Una delle immagini classiche di questo luogo è questa: una serie di portoni consecutivi.
Ci sono talmente tanti palazzi e mura che spesso si riescono ad inanellare tutti in uno scatto singolo.
Ovviamente, come potete ben capire e vedere, ho accentuato un pochino (ma solo un pochino) i colori tramite hdr perché una delle cose più impressionanti di questo luogo sono i colori (rossi in prevalenza).
Davvero un luogo magnifico da esplorare!

The statues outside the Cathedral of Palermo

Le statue fuori dalla Cattedrale di Palermo

The statues outside the Cathedral of Palermo.
The most important church in Palermo and the statues that adorn its front garden.
I still have many images that I took in the summer during my visit to this splendid monument of Palermo.
As always, I'll post them diluted over time.

With Gualtiero Offamilio the cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin represented in three different iconographies: one is the Dormition of the Mother of God or «Koimesis tes Theotokou» or «Dormitio Virginis», which belongs to the Byzantine tradition, the other two belonging to the Latin tradition: the Assumption and the Coronation in Heaven.

Linh Ung Pagoda near Da Nang

La pagoda Linh Ung vicino a Da Nang in Vietnam

Linh Ung Pagoda near Da Nang in Vietnam.
The Buddhist temple on the Thọ Quang peninsula, north-east of the Vietnamese city.
It is one of the most beautiful areas that can be reached from the city in a short time. The peninsula, formed by some mountains, is already very beautiful to see and a few kilometers from the center you can find this temple.
The entrance is already very impressive, with its three doors (first photo). Then you enter and in the main square the temple and the many bonsai that are in front of it (second photo).
Finally, after walking around the pagoda area which is a succession of small temples, statues and decorative trees, you go to see the statue of Lady Buddha, the attraction visible even from the city: a 67 meter high statue.
It is not a very old temple but it is certainly very, very suggestive!

I searched online but there is very little in Italian; there is the official tourism page of the city of Da Nang which describes the area danangfantasticity.com and also on Wikipedia, in English, there is very little.

The Ribaudo Kiosk in Palermo

The Ribaudo kiosk in Palermo.
In the city of Palermo you often come across very artistic little kiosks.
I have never been able to understand their history and some time ago, when I was in the city by ship, I photographed one in front of the Politeama Garibaldi Theater, right in the center.
Searching a bit on the internet I found that these liberty monuments were built to sell drinks and tickets. I don't think the one I photographed is used anymore. The one in front of the Teatro Massimo is now a tobacconist.
Here you can find some additional information about the kiosks: italialiberty.it and arte.it.
