Christ in the Pieve of Santa Maria in Arezzo

Christ in the Pieve di Santa Maria in Arezzo.
Although the church of Santa Maria della Pieve contains works of even greater value, my curiosity was attracted by this rather kitsch Christ, who seems to convincingly show his wounds and his blood made of red rope.
Apart from this slightly pulp curiosity, this thousand-year-old church, which is located in the center of Arezzo, houses works of great taste, more or less ancient, as well as the remains of Giorgio Vasari (born in Arezzo) and his wife Nicolosa.

Lo stile arabo della decorazione ha un qualcosa di affascinante.
Questo muro di un negozietto della Medina di Casablanca mi ha colpito!
Le mattonelle arabe si chiamano zellige e sono delle maioliche smaltate.

Lo zellige è un assemblaggio di piastrella tagliata in terracotta smaltata che riproduce un disegno geometrico. Le tessere di ceramica compongono una forma a mosaico, e sono collocate su un letto di intonaco. Viene utilizzato principalmente come decorazione per pareti e pavimenti. Quest’arte decorativa è una caratteristica dell’architettura del Maghreb.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the Florence Cathedral, is the main church of Florence, the symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed in the fifteenth century, it was the largest church in the world, while today it is considered the third in Europe after St. Peter's in Rome and the Milan Cathedral. It stands on the foundations of the ancient cathedral of Florence, the church of Santa Reparata, in a part of the city that has hosted places of worship since Roman times.
