Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II
The Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II) or Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) or "Il Vittoriano" is a monument to honour Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. The monument was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885; sculpture for it was parceled out to established sculptors all over Italy, such as Angelo Zanelli.[1] It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1935.[2]
The monument, "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill",[3] is built of pure white marble from Botticino, Brescia, and features majestic stairways, tall Corinthian columns, fountains, a huge equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 m (443 ft) wide and 70 m (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height is to 81 m (266 ft).[2]
The base of the structure houses the museum of Italian Reunification.[2][4] In 2007, a panoramic elevator was added to the structure, allowing visitors to ride up to the roof for 360 degree views of Rome.
The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on October 26, 1921 from amongst 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. Her son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place to Rome and buried in a state funeral on November 4, 1921.
The monument was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as pompous and too large.[4][6][7] It is clearly visible to most of the city of Rome despite being boxy in general shape and lacking a dome or a tower.[2] The monument is also glaringly white, making it highly conspicuous amidst the generally brownish buildings surrounding it, and its stacked, crowded nature has lent it several nicknames. Foreign people sometimes refer to the structure by a variety of nickname, such as "the wedding cake" and Romans as "the typewriter".[8] Despite all this criticism, the monument still attracts a large number of visitors. Former President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi fostered the opening of the Vittoriano as a public forum and viewpoint over the City core. This new accessibility allowed visitors to become familiar with the landmark, enabling it to grow in popular, if not critical, reputation.
t was featured in the 2003 movie The Core where it collapses due to being struck by huge bolts of lightning. It was also featured in the 1987 movie The Belly of an Architect by Peter Greenaway.
O Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (Monumento Nacional de Vitório Emanuel II) ou Altare della Patria (Altar da Pátria) ou "Il Vittoriano" é um monumento no centro de Roma em honra a Vitório Emanuel, o primeiro rei da Itália unificada. O monumento está entre a Piazza Venezia e o Monte Capitolino. "Il Vittoriano" foi projeto por Giuseppe Sacconi em 1885; suas esculturas foram feitas pelos melhores escultores da Itália, entre eles Angelo Zanelli. O monumento foi inaugurado em 1911 e completado em 1935.
O monumento "esculpido com terrível brutalidade no imensamente complicado tecido da montanha" foi construído de marmore branco puro de Botticino, Brescia e possui magníficas escadarías, altas colunas Coríntias, fontes, uma escultura gigantesca de Vitório Emanuel e duas estátuas da deusa Vitória manejando uma quadriga. A estrutura possui 135m de largura e 70m de altura. Incluindo as quadridas e vitórias com asas a estrutura totaliza 81m.
Na base do monumento está localizada o museu da Reunificação Italiana. Em 2007 um elevador panorâmico foi acrescentado à estrutura, permitindo que visitantes subam ao topo para uma visão de 360 graus de Roma. (tradução do texto em inglês da Wikipedia)
O Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II também chamado por Il Vittoriano situa-se em plena Piazza Venezia na cidade de Roma. O monumento homenageia Vittorio Emanuele II, primeiro Rei de Itália Unificada. O mármore branco com que foi construído fá-lo destoar do resto da cidade sendo por isso alvo de chacota pelo romanos que lhe chamam "Bolo de Casamento" e "Máquina de Escrever".
Este monumento foi erigido entre 1885 e 1911 para honrar a memória do primeiro rei de Itália - recordemos que até ao século XIX, Itália não era um país como tal.

Chamaram-lhe de "máquina de escrever", "mijadeiro de Itália"... Agora mesmo foi "absolvido" por ser considerado um monumento histórico testemunho fundamental de uma época da história italiana. Os melhores artistas da época trabalharam neste monumento.

Louis Jacques André Baud naît en 1903 à La Réole (Gironde). Après des études secondaires, il entre à l'Ecole des Beaux arts de Bourges qu'il fréquente de 1920 à 1923. Il y obtient le Grand Prix de la Céramique.
Il poursuit ses études à l'École des Arts Appliqués à l'Industrie de Paris de 1923 à 1926 et obtient en 1925 une récompense à l'Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs.
Il effectue alors de nombreux stages dans des ateliers d'art et des établissements industriels et participe à de nombreuses expositions (Salon des Indépendants, Salon d'Automne, Salon des Artistes décorateurs.....)
En 1940, il épouse Micheline Bour. En 1942, le couple s'installe à Vallauris, dans une usine qu'il loue, puis qu'il achètera quelques années plus tard. Il commence alors une production de poteries culinaires et utilitaires tout en développant des pièces plus décoratives. Il participe activement à l'âge d'or de Vallauris avec des céramistes tels que Suzanne et Georges Ramié, Robert Picault, Roger Capron, Jean Derval.
Il participe alors à de nombreuses expositions, tant en France qu'à l' étranger: Québec, Sydney, Londres, Montréal, Budapest, Stockholm, Bruxelles, USA, Italie...
André Baud devient président de l'A.V.E.C (Association Vallaurienne, d'Expansion Céramique) de 1959 à 1962 et vice président de la commission municipale aux affaires culturelles.
En 1969, il vend son usine, après une accumulation de problèmes financiers.
Il s’installe alors dans les Charentes, dans sa maison familiale, achète un four et tente d’y relancer sa carrière . Après une exposition remarquée au château du Douhet, il partage sa vie entre les Charentes et Nice où résident son épouse et son fils. Il décède en septembre 1986.
The Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II) or "Il Vittoriano" is a controversial monument built in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill.
The eclectic structure was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885; sculpture for it was parceled out to established sculptors all over Italy, such as Leonardo Bistolfi and Angelo Zanelli. It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1925. The monument is built of white marble from Botticino, Brescia, and features stairways, Corinthian columns, fountains, an equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The base of the structure houses the museum of Italian Unification. In 2007, a panoramic elevator was added to the structure, allowing visitors to ride up to the roof for 360 degree views of Rome.
The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on 26 October 1921 from among 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. Her son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place to Rome and buried in a state funeral on 4 November 1921.
The monument was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as pompous and too large. It has been described as being "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill." It is clearly visible to most of the city of Rome despite being boxy in general shape and lacking a dome or a tower. The monument is also glaringly white, making it highly conspicuous amidst the generally brownish buildings surrounding it, and its stacked, crowded nature has lent it several nicknames. Foreign people sometimes refer to the structure by a variety of nicknames, such as "the wedding cake", whereas Romans commonly call it "the typewriter", although "the zuppa inglese" is also common. Despite all this criticism, the monument still attracts a large number of visitors. Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi fostered the opening of the Vittoriano as a public forum and viewpoint over the City core. This new accessibility allowed visitors to become familiar with the landmark, enabling it to grow in popular, if not critical, reputation.
The Altare della Patria ([alˈtaːre della ˈpaːtrja]; English: "Altar of the Fatherland"), also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II ("National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II") or Il Vittoriano, is a monument built in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. It's currently managed by the Polo Museale del Lazio, the Italian Ministry of Defense and the Museo Centrale del Risorgimento Italiano (Museo centrale del Risorgimento al Vittoriano)
The eclectic structure was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885. Established Italian sculptors, such as Leonardo Bistolfi and Angelo Zanelli, made its sculptures nationwide. It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1925.
The Vittoriano features stairways, Corinthian columns, fountains, an equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 m (443 ft) wide and 70 m (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height reaches 81 m (266 ft). It has a total area of 17,000 square metres.
The base of the structure houses the museum of Italian Unification. In 2007, a panoramic lift was added to the structure, allowing visitors to ride up to the roof for 360-degree views of Rome
The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of goddess Roma after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on 26 October 1921 from among 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. Her son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place, to Rome and buried in a state funeral on 4 November 1921.
Military colours
The flags of disbanded units of the Italian Armed Forces, as well as the flags of ships stricken from the naval register of the Italian Navy are stored at the Vittoriano in the so-called Shrine of the Flags (Sacrario delle Bandiere). The oldest flag on display is the flag of the 19th-century frigate Giuseppe Garibaldi. When an Italian military unit is reactivated its flag is taken from the Vittoriano and returned to the unit, which with the flag receives also the name, traditions, and military honors bestowed upon the flag over time.
Controversy
The monument, the largest in Rome, was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as conspicuous, pompous and too large.

Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II
The Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II) or Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) or "Il Vittoriano" is a monument to honour Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. The monument was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885; sculpture for it was parceled out to established sculptors all over Italy, such as Angelo Zanelli.[1] It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1935.[2]
The monument, "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill",[3] is built of pure white marble from Botticino, Brescia, and features majestic stairways, tall Corinthian columns, fountains, a huge equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 m (443 ft) wide and 70 m (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height is to 81 m (266 ft).[2]
The base of the structure houses the museum of Italian Reunification.[2][4] In 2007, a panoramic elevator was added to the structure, allowing visitors to ride up to the roof for 360 degree views of Rome.
The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on October 26, 1921 from amongst 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. Her son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place to Rome and buried in a state funeral on November 4, 1921.
The monument was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as pompous and too large.[4][6][7] It is clearly visible to most of the city of Rome despite being boxy in general shape and lacking a dome or a tower.[2] The monument is also glaringly white, making it highly conspicuous amidst the generally brownish buildings surrounding it, and its stacked, crowded nature has lent it several nicknames. Foreign people sometimes refer to the structure by a variety of nickname, such as "the wedding cake" and Romans as "the typewriter".[8] Despite all this criticism, the monument still attracts a large number of visitors. Former President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi fostered the opening of the Vittoriano as a public forum and viewpoint over the City core. This new accessibility allowed visitors to become familiar with the landmark, enabling it to grow in popular, if not critical, reputation.

The Altare della Patria ([alˈtaːre della ˈpaːtrja]; English: "Altar of the Fatherland"), also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II ("National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II") or Il Vittoriano, is a monument built in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy, located in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. It's currently managed by the Polo Museale del Lazio, the Italian Ministry of Defense and the Museo Centrale del Risorgimento Italiano (Museo centrale del Risorgimento al Vittoriano)
The eclectic structure was designed by Giuseppe Sacconi in 1885. Established Italian sculptors, such as Leonardo Bistolfi and Angelo Zanelli, made its sculptures nationwide. It was inaugurated in 1911 and completed in 1925.
The Vittoriano features stairways, Corinthian columns, fountains, an equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 m (443 ft) wide and 70 m (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height reaches 81 m (266 ft). It has a total area of 17,000 square metres.
The base of the structure houses the museum of Italian Unification. In 2007, a panoramic lift was added to the structure, allowing visitors to ride up to the roof for 360-degree views of Rome
The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of goddess Roma after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on 26 October 1921 from among 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. Her son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place, to Rome and buried in a state funeral on 4 November 1921.
Military colours
The flags of disbanded units of the Italian Armed Forces, as well as the flags of ships stricken from the naval register of the Italian Navy are stored at the Vittoriano in the so-called Shrine of the Flags (Sacrario delle Bandiere). The oldest flag on display is the flag of the 19th-century frigate Giuseppe Garibaldi. When an Italian military unit is reactivated its flag is taken from the Vittoriano and returned to the unit, which with the flag receives also the name, traditions, and military honors bestowed upon the flag over time.
Controversy
The monument, the largest in Rome, was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as conspicuous, pompous and too large.
It has been described as being "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill".
It is clearly visible to most of the city of Rome despite being boxy in general shape and lacking a dome or a tower. The monument is also glaringly white, built from "corpse-white marble" imported from Botticino in Brescia, making it highly conspicuous amidst the generally brownish buildings surrounding it. For its shape and conspicuous nature, Romans have given it a number of humorous and somewhat uncomplimentary nicknames, including la torta nuziale ("the wedding cake"), la dentiera ("the dentures"), macchina da scrivere ("the typewriter") and la zuppa inglese ("English soup" dessert, which refers to a trifle).
Llamado también en italiano Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, es un enorme monumento conmemorativo de la ciudad de Roma, Italia, realizado en honor del primer rey de la Italia unificada, Víctor Manuel II. Se sitúa entre la Piazza Venezia (Plaza de Venecia) y la Colina Capitolina. Fue diseñado por Giuseppe Sacconi en 1895; fue inaugurado en 1911, pero los trabajos terminaron mucho después, entre 1924 y 1927.
El monumento está construido con mármol blanco, mostrado por ejemplo en las majestuosas escaleras o las columnas corintias. También dispone de varias fuentes y esculturas del propio rey Victor Manuel y dos estatuas de la diosa Victoria con sendas cuadrigas. La estructura mide 135 metros de ancho y 70 metros de altura (incluyendo la cuadriga y las alas de las diosas llega a 81 metros). En la base del monumento se encuentra el museo de la unificación de Italia.
En el monumento a Victor Manuel II se encuentra también la tumba al soldado desconocido con una llama eterna construida tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, conforme a la idea del general Giulio Douhet. El cuerpo del soldado desconocido fue escogido por Maria Bergamas, en el pueblo austro-húngaro de Grandisca D'Isonzo, de un joven desertor del ejército austro-húngaro que pasó al Regio Esercito (ejército italiano) y resultó desaparecido en combate durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Fue elegido entre otros 11 cuerpos de soldados o marineros sin identificar de las fuerzas armadas del Reino de Italia (1861-1946). El cuerpo fue transportado desde Aquilea (donde se realizó la ceremonia con Bergamas) hasta Roma, entre octubre y noviembre de 1921.
El monumento ha sufrido críticas desde que su construcción supuso la destrucción de un gran área de la Colina Capitolina, una de las colinas históricas de Roma, y donde se encontraba un barrio medieval. Para algunos, dicho monumento era demasiado grande y pomposo.1 2 En días soleados, este edificio puede llegar a ser muy brillante, pudiendo incluso ser molesto para la vista si se está cerca o dentro del recinto, dado su impoluto color blanco y su entorno urbano más oscuro. Al ser una construcción tan destacada en el panorama de Roma, ha recibido otras numerosas denominaciones. Desde su origen, los romanos lo llamaban la Zuppa Inglese (una especie de pastel), la tarta de bodas o la falsa boca. Cuando los soldados aliados llegaron a Roma en 1944 lo llamaron también la máquina de escribir, apodo que luego adoptarían los propios italianos. Ello se debe a que la fachada con las columnas no es recta, sino que adopta cierta forma en arco.
A pesar de todas las críticas que ha recibido a lo largo de su historia, el monumento a Victor Manuel II atrae cada año a un gran número de visitantes. La apertura como foro público y lugar panorámico sobre el centro de Roma fue acogido por el antiguo presidente de la República Italiana, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, permitiendo a la gente acercarse a dicha construcción y dándole así una mejor reputación.

San Martial, parish church of Le Douhet is a 12th century structure, that had to be stabilized by buttresses within the 15th century, when a steeple was built and the building got unbalanced and unstable.
The portal, erected in the typical Saintonge-style, is richly decorated. San Martial was for sure a place, where pilgrims stopped (for a while). So it is no surprise, that the facade is covered by many small carved graffiti ( here are four). They are kind of strange. I found many crosses, but neither "soles" nor "horse-shoes", that were often carved in by pilgrims.

The monument, "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill",[3] is built of pure white marble from Botticino, Brescia, and features majestic stairways, tall Corinthian columns, fountains, a huge equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 m (443 ft) wide and 70 m (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height is to 81 m (266 ft).[2]

The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on October 26, 1921 from amongst 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. Her son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place to Rome and buried in a state funeral on November 4, 1921.
The monument was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as pompous and too large.[4][6][7] It is clearly visible to most of the city of Rome despite being boxy in general shape and lacking a dome or a tower.[2] The monument is also glaringly white, making it highly conspicuous amidst the generally brownish buildings surrounding it, and its stacked, crowded nature has lent it several nicknames. Foreign people sometimes refer to the structure by a variety of nickname, such as "the wedding cake" and Romans as "the typewriter".[8] Despite all this criticism, the monument still attracts a large number of visitors. Former President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi fostered the opening of the Vittoriano as a public forum and viewpoint over the City core.

Eglise romane Saint-Martial ; commune du Douhet, Charente-Maritime 17, Poitou-Charentes, France
L'église du Douhet, dédiée à Saint Martial, est inscrite aux Monuments Historiques depuis le 1er Septembre 1915.
Sa façade et sa nef sont du XIe siècle. Son clocher est du début du XVe. Cet édifice intéressant malgré une certaine lourdeur d'ensemble, n'est pas aussi connu qu'il mériterait de l'être car sa façade est une des plus ornée de la Saintonge. Le clocher, massive construction carrée, a sa plateforme couronnée d'une courte pyramide de pierre, encadrée aux angles de quatre pyramidons à crochets. La nef est abondamment étayée sur son coté Nord par de gros contreforts qui témoignent des inquiétudes inspirées par l'édifice au cours des siècles passés. La façade, à deux étages terminée par un pignon obtus, présente un vaste portail en plein-cintre encadré de deux baies aveugles. Les voussures de ces trois baies portées par des colonnes (quelques-unes baguées) à chapiteaux très historiés, sont ornées d'une riche décoration. Un bandeau réunit tous les chapiteaux et va d'une extrémité à l'autre. On y peut admirer de nombreuses scènes bibliques et des feuillages d'une belle exécution. Parmi les divers sujets représentés il y a lieu de remarquer le Christ et ses Apôtres, un Agneau pascal dans une gloire ronde et peut-être un Péché Originel.
Cette dernière scène est très curieuse. Une femme debout, à laquelle un énorme serpent parle à l'oreille, semble tenir par les cheveux un homme agenouillé à sa droite qui, de la main gauche, lui relève la robe jusqu'au dessus du genou. D'un côté Dieu le père accompagné d'un ange ailé, croise bizarrement les jambes et paraît exécuter un pas de danse. De l'autre un personnage, armé d'un bâton ou d'une épée, en menace la femme.
Au-dessus du rez-de-chaussée et appuyées sur une corniche à modifions se développent trois grandes baies dont deux aveugle: portées par des groupes de colonnes à chapiteaux. L'intérieur de l'édifice est particulièrement sombre du fait des fenêtres rares et très étroites. Les quatre travées de la nef séparées par des colonnes demi-engagées à chapiteaux nus sont recouvertes d'une voûte de pierre en berceau.
Le choeur compte deux travées, dont l'une très courte et ses colonnes sont surmontées de chapiteaux à dragons. L'abside demi-circulaire a sa voûte en cul-de-four ornée d'une gloire en grisaille du XVIIIe siècle avec nuages, triangle, rayons etc. Cette décoration était fréquente autrefois. Ellle a presque complètement disparu. Le chevet, sobrement éclairé par des petites fenêtres romanes, est coupé entre le choeur et l'abside par un mur percé d'un arc en plein-cintre qui porte le clocher.

Fue elegido entre otros 11 cuerpos de soldados o marineros sin identificar de las fuerzas armadas del Reino de Italia (1861-1946). El cuerpo fue transportado desde Aquilea (donde se realizó la ceremonia con Bergamas) hasta Roma, entre octubre y noviembre de 1921.
El monumento ha sufrido críticas desde que su construcción supuso la destrucción de un gran área de la Colina Capitolina, una de las colinas históricas de Roma, y donde se encontraba un barrio medieval. Para algunos, dicho monumento era demasiado grande y pomposo.1 2 En días soleados, este edificio puede llegar a ser muy brillante, pudiendo incluso ser molesto para la vista si se está cerca o dentro del recinto, dado su impoluto color blanco y su entorno urbano más oscuro. Al ser una construcción tan destacada en el panorama de Roma, ha recibido otras numerosas denominaciones. Desde su origen, los romanos lo llamaban la Zuppa Inglese (una especie de pastel), la tarta de bodas o la falsa boca. Cuando los soldados aliados llegaron a Roma en 1944 lo llamaron también la máquina de escribir, apodo que luego adoptarían los propios italianos. Ello se debe a que la fachada con las columnas no es recta, sino que adopta cierta forma en arco.
A pesar de todas las críticas que ha recibido a lo largo de su historia, el monumento a Victor Manuel II atrae cada año a un gran número de visitantes. La apertura como foro público y lugar panorámico sobre el centro de Roma fue acogido por el antiguo presidente de la República Italiana, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, permitiendo a la gente acercarse a dicha construcción y dándole así una mejor reputación.

San Martial, parish church of Le Douhet is a 12th century structure, that had to be stabilized by buttresses within the 15th century, when a steeple was built and the building got unbalanced and unstable.
The portal, erected in the typical Saintonge-style, is richly decorated. One of the apostles, populating the outer archivolt, is Saint Jacques ("Saint James"). The saint is dressed like a pilgrim and holds the pilgrim´s staff. There may have been a "coquille" once as well...
The stones used in medieval times all over the Saintonge were very soft and so ideal for complex carvings. Unfortunately they weathered over the centuries.
I have tried to walk with such a long stick in 2005, but could not get used to it. Since then I use two walking sticks, what is - for me - very convenient.

The monument, "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill", is built of pure white marble from Botticino, Brescia, and features majestic stairways, tall Corinthian columns, fountains, a huge equestrian sculpture of Victor Emmanuel and two statues of the goddess Victoria riding on quadrigas. The structure is 135 m (443 ft) wide and 70 m (230 ft) high. If the quadrigae and winged victories are included, the height is to 81 m (266 ft). The base of the structure houses the museum of Italian Reunification.
Unknown soldier
The monument holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame, built under the statue of Italy after World War I following an idea of General Giulio Douhet. The body of the unknown soldier was chosen on October 26, 1921 from amongst 11 unknown remains by Maria Bergamas, a woman from Gradisca d'Isonzo whose only child was killed during World War I. The son's body was never recovered. The selected unknown was transferred from Aquileia, where the ceremony with Bergamas had taken place to Rome and buried in a state funeral on November 4, 1921.
Eglise romane Saint-Martial ; commune du Douhet, Charente-Maritime 17, Poitou-Charentes, France
L'église du Douhet, dédiée à Saint Martial, est inscrite aux Monuments Historiques depuis le 1er Septembre 1915.
Sa façade et sa nef sont du XIe siècle. Son clocher est du début du XVe. Cet édifice intéressant malgré une certaine lourdeur d'ensemble, n'est pas aussi connu qu'il mériterait de l'être car sa façade est une des plus ornée de la Saintonge. Le clocher, massive construction carrée, a sa plateforme couronnée d'une courte pyramide de pierre, encadrée aux angles de quatre pyramidons à crochets. La nef est abondamment étayée sur son coté Nord par de gros contreforts qui témoignent des inquiétudes inspirées par l'édifice au cours des siècles passés. La façade, à deux étages terminée par un pignon obtus, présente un vaste portail en plein-cintre encadré de deux baies aveugles. Les voussures de ces trois baies portées par des colonnes (quelques-unes baguées) à chapiteaux très historiés, sont ornées d'une riche décoration. Un bandeau réunit tous les chapiteaux et va d'une extrémité à l'autre. On y peut admirer de nombreuses scènes bibliques et des feuillages d'une belle exécution. Parmi les divers sujets représentés il y a lieu de remarquer le Christ et ses Apôtres, un Agneau pascal dans une gloire ronde et peut-être un Péché Originel.
Cette dernière scène est très curieuse. Une femme debout, à laquelle un énorme serpent parle à l'oreille, semble tenir par les cheveux un homme agenouillé à sa droite qui, de la main gauche, lui relève la robe jusqu'au dessus du genou. D'un côté Dieu le père accompagné d'un ange ailé, croise bizarrement les jambes et paraît exécuter un pas de danse. De l'autre un personnage, armé d'un bâton ou d'une épée, en menace la femme.
Au-dessus du rez-de-chaussée et appuyées sur une corniche à modifions se développent trois grandes baies dont deux aveugle: portées par des groupes de colonnes à chapiteaux. L'intérieur de l'édifice est particulièrement sombre du fait des fenêtres rares et très étroites. Les quatre travées de la nef séparées par des colonnes demi-engagées à chapiteaux nus sont recouvertes d'une voûte de pierre en berceau.
Le choeur compte deux travées, dont l'une très courte et ses colonnes sont surmontées de chapiteaux à dragons. L'abside demi-circulaire a sa voûte en cul-de-four ornée d'une gloire en grisaille du XVIIIe siècle avec nuages, triangle, rayons etc. Cette décoration était fréquente autrefois. Ellle a presque complètement disparu. Le chevet, sobrement éclairé par des petites fenêtres romanes, est coupé entre le choeur et l'abside par un mur percé d'un arc en plein-cintre qui porte le clocher.
