Che un angelo ti protegga. Tutti noi abbiamo qualcuno a cui teniamo che è scomparso e molti di noi affidano la sua anima ad un angelo. Questa statua, un po’ imbruttita dal tempo, mi piaceva e per quello l’ho fotografata. Si trova nel cimitero di San Bartolomeo della Ginestra.
The face of the departed: one of the remains of Pompeii. The face of the departed in this remnant of the city of Pompeii, one of the finds that struck me the most (which is not a statue but I will explain later). As you all know, Pompeii is the Roman town that around the year zero was swept away, together with Herculaneum, by one of the largest eruptions of Vesuvius. I used the words "swept away" which are actually not correct. In fact, the fury of the volcano, rather than destroying, covered the town with a layer of dust and lava. It all happened so suddenly that many did not even manage to escape. The subject of this photo in fact represents one of those people who, surprised by the erection, sought shelter somewhere in vain. It is shocking to observe the hands trying to cover the face.

Pompeii (Latin: Pompeii) is an ancient city, corresponding to the current Pompeii, whose history dates back to the 9th century BC and ends in 79, when, following the eruption of Vesuvius, it was covered under a blanket of ash and lapilli about six meters high. Its rediscovery and the related excavations, begun in 1748, brought to light an archaeological site that in 1997 became part of the UNESCO World Heritage list, and which is the second most visited Italian monument after the museum system of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine.

The Faun of Pompeii is probably one of the most famous bronze statues in the world. It gives its name to the House of the same name (called precisely the House of the Faun) and represents a dancing satyr.

The House of the Faun is a Roman house, buried during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and rediscovered following the archaeological excavations of ancient Pompeii: it is one of the largest homes in the city and owes its name to a bronze statue, depicting a satyr, placed in the impluvium. It occupies almost entirely the Insula 12 of Regio VI. Continua ed approfondisci su Wikipedia

La statua di una Madonnina a Barcellona. Nella rambla di Barcellona fa bella mostra di se una bella statua di una Madonna posta al secondo piano di uno dei tanti palazzi. Le edicole, cosi’ si chiamano queste statuette poste sulle facciate dei palazzi, sono anche molto tipiche della Liguria e ne ho gia pubbllicato diverse immagini a Genova e a Sestri Levante.

Le foto della meravigliosa località di Petra in Giordania. Questa è solamente una, forse la più caratteristica però, delle diverse foto che ho scattato lo scorso dicembre a Petra, in Giordania. Rappresenta il momento in cui, dallo stretto canyon (siq) che si percorre a piedi, si comincia ad intravedere il El Khasneh al Faroun, il monumento più famoso di tutto il sito.

Verso l’VIII secolo Petra fu abbandonata in seguito alla decadenza dei commerci e a catastrofi naturali e, benché le antiche cavità abbiano ospitato famiglie beduine fino ad anni recenti, fu in un certo senso dimenticata fino all’epoca moderna. Il complesso archeologico fu rivelato al mondo occidentale dall’orientalista svizzero Burckhardt nel 1812. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia
