The Roman Villa of Tellaro (Noto) and its Mosaics(Oct 14, 2008)

@RebeccaDru
The Villa del Tellaro’s origins date back to the 4th century AD and was destroyed by a fire about 100 years later. Forgotten about for centuries, someone decided to plunk a 17th century farmhouse on the remains of the villa, so parts of the excavation include the farm’s wine-making vats.
The mosaics of the four surviving rooms include the so-called "Hunting Mosaic", crowded with figures of hunters and wild animals from Africa and surrounded by a frieze with colorful animals and geometric patterns; a veritable geometric "carpet" with intersecting garlands of laurel that covered the floor of one side of the portico; a beautiful scene, unfortunately incomplete, from the Iliad ("The Redemption of Hector's body”); and, lastly, a frame consisting of squares with bacchic scenes and, in the corners, four imaginative vases overflowing with fruit, that frame a central scene, which unfortunately hasn’t survived.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Villa del Tellaro is located in the countryside of Noto, in Contrada Vaddeddi, 32 kilometers / 20 miles from Syracuse along a paved road.
The route between Syracuse and Noto can be traveled by car or train.
• By car, take motorway A18 Messina-Catania-Siracusa and motorway A19 Palermo-Catania-Siracusa, exit at junction “Bivio Cassibile”, and the proceed to Strada Statale 115. From here, on the Provincial Road 19 Noto-Pachino, follow the signs for "Villa del Tellaro”.
• By train, take the (free) shuttle bus #20 from Piazza Archimede close to the train station, or opt to walk to the station. Approximately every hour an interregional train or a bus departs from Syracuse for Noto; the train journey takes about half an hour, and the bus can take up to an hour and a half. There is a shuttle service to the villa.

A beautiful newly created walking route through my own neighborhood...
Location: Archimedesplantsoen, Amsterdam Watergraafsmeer (NL)
Coordinates: 52°21'12.2"N 4°56'37.7"E (exact location on Google Maps)
New Walking Route: On 20/12/2023 I created a nice short lunchtime walking route in the Watergraafsmeer. To make before I go shopping at Albert Heijn on Christiaan Huygensplein. Roughly speaking, the route goes over Kruislaan, Archimedesplantsoen, Galileïplantsoen, Wethouder Frankenweg, Middenweg and Christiaans Huygensplein. Length approximately 2.2 to 2.4 kilometers and duration between 25 and 30 minutes. This walk Ommetje (from the application) was my 2338th Ommetje.
Archimedes: Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287 – c. 212 BC) was an Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from the ancient city of Syracuse in Sicily.
Brug/Bridge 338: Bridge 338 is a fixed bridge in Amsterdam East over the Molenwetering. The road bridge with plenty of space for pedestrians is located in the Johannes van der Waalsstraat in the middle of the Archimedesplantsoen. The bridge was designed by Piet Kramer and built in 1928 and used the Amsterdam School style. The structure has the typical characteristics of Kramer. One of these is the mixture of brick and natural stone in the form of granite, which has also been used here in the load-bearing pillars of the bridge, which because of this change look like a stack of dam stones. The decorative wrought iron balustrades customary for Kramer have been kept to a minimum here, they are only used at the ends (abutments). The balustrades on the bridge itself are made of brick with a decorative metal ribbon on top, supported by pillars made from granite blocks. Those decorative ribbons are strongly reminiscent of Kramer's bridges in the Amsterdamse Bos. The balustrades also have the typical brickwork pattern of the Amsterdam School (alternation horizontal and vertical). The bridge was widened in the 1950s. [Wikipedia]

French comic actor and musician Darry Cowl (1925-2006) appeared in more than 150 films, often as a clown with a chronic stutter. Many of his comedies were not worth his talents, but at the end of his life, he made a glorious come-back and won the César twice.
Darry Cowl was born as André Darricau in Vittel, France, in 1925. His father was doctor. He studied music at the Conservatoire de Paris. After he had finished his studies successfully, he did not chose to work for an orchestra, but became a musical clown in the nightclubs and cabarets of Paris. He made his film debut in Quatre jours à Paris/Four Days in Paris (1955, André Berthomieu) with Luis Mariano and soon appeared insmall roles in films like Bonjour sourire/Good Morning Smile (1955, Claude Sautet), and En effeuillant la marguerite/Mademoiselle Striptease (1956, Marc Allégret) with Brigitte Bardot. Director Sacha Guitry cast him twice in Assassins et voleurs/Assassins and Robbers (1957) and Les Trois font la paire/Three Make a Pair (1957). Cowl decided to focus on film acting He gained celebrity status with his role as Antoine Péralou in Le Triporteur/The Tricycle (1957, Jacques Pinoteau). The stuttering Antoine is a football fanatic, who follows his favorite team from one game to the next madly peddling his tricycle to his various destinations. Between 1955 and 1965 he played in more than 60 films made by directors like André Berthomieu, Jean Girault and Jacques Pinoteau. Cowl often played the silly ass who stumbles on his lines on purpose.
Darry Cowl was a game addict, and he often acted only for the money in films that did not stretch his acting ability. An exception was Archimède, le clochard/The Magnificent Tramp (1959, Gilles Grangier) in which he apperaed opposite the great Jean Gabin. In 1964, Cowl directed a feature film himself, Jaloux comme un tigre/Jealous as a Tiger (1964, Darry Cowl). He also appeared in this comedy, wrote the scenario and composed the score. Sadly it was not a success. He continued to appear in dozens of comedies, including Les tribulations d'un chinois en Chine/Up to His Ears (1965, Philippe de Broca) and an episode of Les bons vivants/High Lifers (1965, Gilles Grangier, Georges Lautner). In 1974 he played Major Archibald in Touche pas à la femme blanche/Don't Touch the White Woman! (1974, Marco Ferreri) with Catherine Deneuve, the only film he pretended to be proud about. The next decades most of his films were not very interesting. He wrote three memoirs, Le flambeur (1986) about his passion for the game, Le triporteur se livre (1994) and Mémoires d'un canaillou (2005). During the 1990’s, he appeared in better films like Ville à vendre/City for Sale (1992, Jean-Pierre Mocky) starring Michel Serrault, and Les misérables (1995, Claude Lelouch) starring Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 1999, he even made a magnificent comeback as the only Caucasian employee of a Chinatown shop in Augustin, roi du Kung-fu/ Augustin, King of Kung-Fu (1999, Anne Fontaine). Twice he was a awarded a César, the French equivalent of an Oscar. In 2001 he received a César d'honneur for his career, and in 2004 he won another César for for his supporting role as a concierge in Pas sur la bouche/Not on the lips (2004, Alain Resnais). He also won a Molière for Best Supporting Role on the French stage, in 1995. He had hoped to return to theatre acting in Hold Up, a play by Jean Barbier, in September 2005, but ill-health prevented this. His last film was L'homme qui rêvait d'un enfant/The man Who Dreamed About a Child (2006, Delphine Gleize). He would never see the finished film. In 2006, Darry Cowl died in Neuilly-sur-Seine from complications of lung cancer, aged 80. He was married twice, first to Nelly Marco, and the second time to actress Rolande Kalis.

- The Bathyscaph Archimède.
The bathyscaphe Archimède is a deep diving research submersible of the French Navy.
It used 42,000 US gallons (160,000 l) of hexane as the gasoline buoyancy of its float.
It was designed by Pierre Willm and Georges Houot. Archimede was the first vehicle to reach the deepest part of the Atlantic, 27,510 feet (8,390 m) down into the Puerto Rico Trench.
Archimede was christened on 27 July 1961, at the French Navy base of Toulon.
It was designed to go beyond 30,000 yards (27,000 m), and weighed 61 tons.

Archimede Seguso was the "Maestro di prima piazza", until he left in 1942 to form his own company Veteria Archimede Seguso. Flavio Poli, famous for his designs using the "Sommerso" technique, was artistic director from 1937 - 1963. The company was closed in 1972.

Flavio Poli
1900 - 1984
Designer, businessman, ceramic artist. Born in Chioggia, he attended the Istituto d'Arte di Venezia and began work as a designer in ceramics. in 1929 he switched to glass and for Libero Vitali's I.V.A.M. he designed animals, splendid Novecento-style nude figures in massiccio glass, as well as bowls and urns with figures resting on the inside, on lids or as handles. He subsequently collaborated with the Compagnia di Venezia e Murano, with the furnace of Mario and Lino Nason and with the engraver Gino Francesconi. in 1934 he accepted the artistic direction of Barovier, Seguso & Ferro, later to become Seguso Vetri d'Arte, and became partner three years later. Together with the master of the principal team Archimede Seguso, Poli was the author of grandiose lighting installations, of corroded vessels, of sculptures in bulicante glass, of animals in massiccio glass shaped while hot, productions which represented a milestone in the development of Murano glass. At the height of his artistic maturity, in the years between 1950 and 1960 he designed a series of sommerso glass pieces in a Nordic style, essential forms and sharp cold colors, which were awarded prestigious prizes (Compasso d'Oro). After leaving Seguso in 1963, between 1964 and 1966 he organized the artistic glass division at the Societˆ Veneziana di Conterie e Cristallerie.

The salt flats consist of multiple, shallow, stepped, clay-bottom pools that originate from partitioned off seawater. The shallow pools, with added sunshine, heat, and wind, allow for evaporation of the water resulting in an increase in its salinity. Once the saline level of the water reaches a certain amount, it gets pumped with the Archimede's screw to a higher and shallower pool. Historically, windmills produced the energy to drive the pump, now the pumps have electric motors. Over time, the water gradually progresses through multiple pools. The salt is harvested annually, in early fall, before the rainy season starts. In Trapani, they still harvest the salt manually both by skimming the surface and scooping it out with buckets. The very fine salt crystals first skimmed off of the surface of the water in July are most valuable and are called fiore di sale. The salt crystals that are manually scooped from the bottom of the pools, later in the season, are composed of larger, coarser crystals. Those are either sold as coarse salt or can be ground down to a finer composition. Historically, windmills were also used to grind the salt. After it is harvested, the salt is piled alongside the pools to allow for drying. Due to manual harvesting of the salt, as opposed to excavator harvesting, the crystals stay clean and don't need to be further processed or purified. During drying, the salt mounds are covered with terracotta tiles to keep them clean and protect them from rain. The salt is then packaged for sale according to fine and coarse distributions. Any salt that gets dirty is sold as street salt for winter road management. This configuration of a series of shallow evaporation pools, still in use today, was introduced by the Arabs between the C6th and C9th AD, whereas the Phoenicians first produced salt along Sicily's coast either by boiling seawater trapped in the island's many marshes or by waiting for water to evaporate from solely ONE pool. The Museo del Sale in Trapani is a family-owned and managed salt flat which has been producing salt for many generations. The salt pans, there, date from the 1400s.

Mittelpunkt der von mehreren Palästen gesäumten Piazza Archimede ist der figurenreiche Artemisbrunnen (auch Dianabrunnen genannt), der 1906 von Giulio Moschetti geschaffen wurden. Neben der Göttin der Jagd ist auch die Legende von Aretusa und Alpheus dargestellt, denn die Nymphe Aretusa wurde, als sie vor Alpheus flüchtete, von Artemis in die nahegelegene Aretusaquelle verwandelt.
Um 735 v. Chr. landeten Auswanderer aus Korinth in einer großen Bucht Siziliens auf einer kleinen Insel, die sie Ortygia nannten nach dem antiken Namen der Insel Delos, dem Geburtsort der Zwillinge Artemis und Apollon. Die Stadt, die sie auf dem benachbarten Festland gründeten, nannten sie Syrakus nach einem nahegelegenen Sumpf, den die Urbevölkerung als Syrakka bezeichnete. Die neue Stadt wuchs unglaublich schnell, so dass bereits im 3. Jh. v. Chr. die Einwohnerzahl die Million überstieg, was verglichen mit der heutigen Einwohnerzahl von etwa 120.000 Einwohnern fast unglaublich erscheint. Syrakus erlangte besonders unter dem Tyrannen Gelon im 5. Jh. v. Chr. eine ähnliche Bedeutung im Mittelmeerraum wie Athen und später Rom.
1693 zerstörte ein schweres Erdbeben neben Syrakus auch Catania und mehrere Städte und Ortschaften im Val di Noto und forderte viele Menschenleben. Danach wurde Syrakus im spätbarocken Stil vorwiegend aus dem hellen Kalktuff der Umgebung wieder aufgebaut. Diese Bebauung ist der Halbinsel Ortygia noch heute nahezu unberührt erhalten, während die Neustadt auf dem Festland, wo die Ausgrabungen aus griechischer und römischer Zeit liegen, weitgehend aus wahllos hochgezogenen Bauten besteht.
