Nhu Anh with Arnaud Di Pasquale, a former professional male tennis player from France.
Di Pasquale is best remembered for his bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in the men's singles event. He beat rising Swiss Roger Federer in the bronze medal match, but more surprising was his straight sets victory over the well established Magnus Norman of Sweden, in the tournament's 3rd round.

Horned adder is a very aggressive snake. Its fangs are quite long, even if it's a small snake.
La vipera cornuta, sebbene di modeste dimensioni è molto aggressiva e le zanne velenifere sono piuttosto lunghe in proporzione alle dimensioni del rettile.

"Il complesso de La Venaria Reale è un unicum ambientale-architettonico dal fascino straordinario, uno spazio immenso, vario e suggestivo.
La Venaria Reale è il Borgo antico cittadino, scrigno di eventi e vicissitudini storiche; è l'imponente Reggia barocca che, con i suoi vasti Giardini, rappresenta uno dei più significativi esempi della magnificenza dell'architettura e dell'arte del XVII e XVIII secolo; è il Parco de La Mandria, una della maggiori realtà di tutela ambientale europea in cui vivono liberamente numerose specie di animali selvatici e domestici, e dove è custodito un notevole patrimonio storico-architettonico.
I nuovi splendori e la strepitosa qualità delle architetture della Reggia restaurata, l'immensità e la bellezza dei Giardini e degli spazi naturali del Parco, consentono di trascorrere amabilmente il proprio tempo immergendosi in sensazioni nuove e cogliendo esperienze diverse, secondo una concezione moderna ed alla portata di tutti del "gusto", del "loisir" e dell'"arte di vivere".
La Reggia di Venaria Reale e la residenza de La Mandria sono stati dichiarati dall'Unesco Patrimonio dell'Umanità."
"The Venaria Reale site is a unique environmental and architectural experience of extraordinary interest. It is an immense, varied and imposing space where the visitor cannot help feeling drawn into the magic atmosphere of cultural attractions and amusements that were the pastimes of nobility.
Venaria Reale and the old market town represent a treasure trove of historic events and trials and tribulations. We sense this in the imposing baroque palace, with its vast gardens, one of the most significant examples of the magnificence of architecture and art in the 17th and 18th centuries. We sense it, too, in the La Mandria Park, one of the finest examples of European environmental havens where numerous species of both domestic and wild animals live in complete freedom, and where a significant legacy of historic and architectural wealth is preserved.
The new splendours and exceptional quality of the architecture of the restored ‘Reggia’ palace, the immensity and beauty of the gardens and natural spaces in the park allow visitors the opportunity to spend their time immersed in new sensations, savouring new experiences and enjoying the modern concept - accessible to all - of “taste”, “leisure time” and the “art of living”.
The ‘Reggia di Venaria Reale’ royal palace and the residence of La Mandria have been declared “World Heritage” sites by UNESCO."

History
The parish Hernals was probably around the middle of the 13th Century founded. 1252 for the first time a Hartwicus, pastor of Als (Plebanus de Als), named. The first confirmed reference of a the St. Bartholomew dedicated church to Als stems from the year 1301. Founders of the Church were probably the Lords of Als, who have also given their name for the at the Alsbach (very small river) situated small Weinbauernort (wine-producing location) "Hernals" (Lords Als) and later for the entire 17th District of Vienna.
In the 16th Century, castle and church of Hernals became under the former possessor of the dominion, the families Geyer (1515-1587) and Jörger (1587-1622), one of the most important centers of the Reformation in Lower Austria. After Emperor Maximilian II the nobility in the Archduchy Austria 1568 and 1571 religious freedoms on whose dominions had granted, streamed the Wiener (Viennese people) despite the prohibition of "running out" in the nearby situated Hernals to hear the preachers (Prädikanten - lay preachers). 1577 Emperor Rudolf II had locked the Hernalser church. The services were thus celebrated in the hall of the castle, which was next to the church (between today Kalvarienberggasse and Kindermanngasse). Under the from Upper Austria stemming Jörgern, Barons of Tollet, who were among the leading Protestant nobles of the country, Protestantism reached its peak in Hernals. After the confirmation and extention of the religious liberties by Archduke Matthias, introduced Helmhart Jörgers 1609 in the parish church the public Protestant worship and appointed as the first evangelical pastor Johann Sartorius. The participation of Helmhart Jörgers at the Protestant Estates opposition to Emperor Ferdinand II 1619/20 led to his arrest and the loss of his goods. Castle and church of Hernals were confiscated by the emperor in 1625 and handed over to the cathedral chapter of St. Stephan. On 24 August 1625, the feast of St. Bartholomew, was in Hernals again the first Catholic worship celebrated.

St. Bartholomew's Church and the castle at the Als
For revivification of the Catholic faith, the Jesuit Karl Musart 1639 initiated the establishment of a Cross with seven stations from Sankt Stephan to Hernals. Supposedly, the path length corresponded exactly to the length of the Passion Path in Jerusalem. The starting point was the "god corpse altar (Body of Christ)" in Saint Stephen, the last stop was the cross altar in the Hernalser parish church. Outside the church was a tomb chapel built after the model of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
During the second Turkish siege in 1683, the Stations of the Cross were destroyed. Of the in the aftermath re-erected stations where the original images were replaced by figures is one till today on the outside wall of the parish church Alser Vorstadt (suburb), 8th district of Vienna, Schlösselgasse.
From 1709-14 had the "Brotherhood of the 72 disciples of Christ", an affiliation of rich, respected citizens of Vienna, build a Calvary on the site of the present parish church and in the same basic extent. Upward stepping one could contemplating seven stations "Jesus expiates the capital sins", which were placed individually and chapel-like, upstairs, outdoor, the widely visible Crucifixion group and going downhill, again in seven stations, "Mary teaches the virtues". In the horseshoe-shaped layed out, supported by pillars artificial mountain was a small church, "Mountain Church" called, built into it. In it was found a representation of the condemnation of Christ and the hand washing of Pilate. It was replaced after the conversion of Calvary by the Ecce Homo group on the balcony of the church.
The pilgrimage rush was so great that the Pauline Fathers from 1766-1769 in place of the in the meantime by penetrading rainwater dilapitated Hill Church (Bergkirche) a new church, the Calvary Church, built. Of this late Baroque church the north facade and half of the nave are part of the present church plant.
From every corner people came. Exhausted, hungry and thirsty they reached the Calvary. Therefore, not only established the at places of pilgrimage usual commerce with devotional objects, but there were also set up shop stalls where meat and drink as well as all sorts of goodies, such as those found in the Orient, were offered for sale - the fasting market (Fastenmarkt) was born. In the next centuries, the pilgrimage to Hernals should develop into a social event, especially for the Viennese playboy set. A priest from the 18th Century complained bitterly that the chapels on the edge of the pilgrimage route often would be relegated to "amorous Rendezvousplatzerln (rendezvous places - the small ones)" and with the pilgrimages under the cloak of repentance "much worldly and sinful nonsense" was commited. Gradually, a variety of entertainment venues and kids amusements were built up later. The Fasting Market is held to this day every year from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday.
In 1892 the Protestant mayor Elterlein founded for the purpose of enlargement a church building association, immediately commissioning for plannings the architect Richard Jordan. In the same year, on 27 August, the laying of the foundation stone for the expansion took place: The Calvary and the choir room of the Baroque church were removed to enlarge the church to the rearside, the front, baroque part remained. The new Calvary was added around the new church and for the Crucifixion group was created a dome space. The reliefs of the old Calvary were mounted on wooden walls, which in turn were attached to the wall of the church. Furthermore, the entire Calvary was covered. The consecration of the extended Calvary Church took place on 23 October 1894 by Bishop Edward Angerer.

On 22 March 1945, during the last great American bombing raid on Vienna, the Hernalser parsonage, the adjacent school with the district museum, the house St. Bartholomew Square 4, the "Bibersteiner house" (Kindermanngasse 2), the former Offizierstöchterinstitut (the institute for daughters of officers) (Kalvarienberggasse 28) and the church were hit hard. Bombs pierced the vault and exploded inside. The roof, all altarpieces, the organ and the interiors were completely destroyed. (The wood reliefs of the Calvary had been taken off in the course of air protection measures by the Reich Office for Preservation of Monuments and brought to Kleinmariazell (Lower Austria - not far away from Vienna), the due to weather damage by stone reliefs replaced stations 5 and 6 remained in the district.)
Under difficult conditions, the church was restored: At Easter 1948 mass could be celebrated in it again. 1953 an organ was installed, in 1955 four new bells were pulled up (the fifth and largest is from the year 1756). As the bell consecration on the day of the signing of the state treaty took place, the Hernalser called their Glocken "Liberty Bells". The exterior renovation was completed. The interior renovation followed from 1960 to 1966. In 1969 the interior with people's altar and an evening church was redesigned, between 1990 and 2000 Church and Calvary were refurbished.
Of particular importance is the image of the "Turkish Madonna": After the liberation from the Turks in 1683, it was found by a Hernalser in Sultan's tent. In his will he bequeathed it to the parish church Hernals. The "Turkish Madonna" was first placed on the high altar, after the enlargement on the left side of the crossing. After the war for the effigy the Lady Altar was created. The "Turkish Madonna" presents to this day bullet holes from the time of the Turkish siege - these were preserved at each restoration.
Further noteworthy are the Pieta in the right aisle, the baroque pulpit and the organ.

Narciso parole di burro
si sciolgono sotto l'alito della passione
Narciso trasparenza e mistero
cospargimi di olio alle mandorle e vanità modellami�
Raccontami le storie che ami inventare spaventami
raccontami le nuove esaltanti vittorie
Conquistami inventami
dammi un'altra identità
stordiscimi disarmami e infine colpisci
abbracciami ed ubriacami
di ironia e sensualità
Narciso parole di burro
nascondono proverbiale egoismo nelle intenzioni
Narciso sublime apparenza
ricoprimi di eleganti premure e sontuosità ispirami.
Raccontami le storie che ami inventare spaventami
raccontami le nuove esaltanti vittorie
Conquistami inventami
dammi un'altra identità
stordiscimi disarmami e infine colpisci
abbracciami ed ubriacami
di ironia e sensualità
abbracciami ed ubriacami di ironia e sensualità
CONQUISTAMI

The Strait of Messina (Stretto di Messina in Italian, Strittu di Missina in Sicilian) is the narrow passage between the eastern tip of Sicily and the southern tip of Calabria in the south of Italy. It connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea, within the central Mediterranean. At its narrowest point, it measures 3.1 km (1.9 miles) in width, though near the town of Messina the width is some 5.1 km (3.2 miles) and maximum depth is 250 m (830 ft). A ferry connects Messina on Sicily with the mainland at Villa San Giovanni and Reggio in Calabria. There is also a hydrofoil service from Messina to Reggio.
The strait is characterized by strong tidal currents, that established a unique marine ecosystem. A natural whirlpool in the Northern portion of the strait has been linked to the Greek legend of Scylla and Charybdis. In some circumstances, the mirage of Fata Morgana can be observed when looking at Sicily from Calabria.
