Here is where the palace is located:

The W Barcelona, also known as Hotel Vela is a building designed by Ricardo Bofill, located in Barcelona in the neighborhood of La Barceloneta. The hotel opened on September 1, 2009 and cost approximately 260 million euros. The urban mission of the project was to provide a southern extension of the city to the coast. At the time of the project, the building consisted of a sail-shaped tower 160 meters high. The city council, however, forced the architect to lower the height to 99 meters so as not to alter the skyline of Barcelona.

The writing Hic manebimus optime on the climb of the Peninsula

La scritta Hic manebimus optime sulla salita della Penisola

The inscription Hic manebimus optime on the slope of the Peninsula.
Several times I have climbed the slope that leads to the top of the Sestri Levante Peninsula up to the church of San Nicolò. Only recently, however, I noticed this inscription in Latin Hic manebimus optime that is above an entrance at the back of the Hotel Due Mari and which precisely means "here we will be very well".

Have you ever noticed it?

Hic manebimus optime (“We will be fine here”) is a phrase that has become famous as an expression of determination. It is reported by Titus Livius in his Roman History (Ab Urbe condita libri, V, 55), where it is attributed to a centurion who, in the historical moment of the sack of Rome (about 390/386 BC), which occurred during the Celtic invasions of the Italian peninsula, is said to have uttered it as an exhortation to his companions, indirectly influencing the subsequent decision of the Roman Senate not to abandon the city.

La colazione in un famoso hotel di Da Nang in Vietnam

La colazione in un famoso hotel di Da Nang in Vietnam.
Vi mando un buongiorno con una foto che ho scattato qualche tempo fa in Vietnam.
Eravamo andati in un albergo a cinque stelle per fare la colazione e passare un paio d’ore di relax.
Purtroppo non ricordo il nome dell’hotel (forse chi mi segue su Instagram si ricorda che vi avevo gia’ postato una foto da li’) ma era veramente bello.

Sei mai stato o vorresti andare in Vietnam? Lascia un commento cliccando here.
