This photographic story was made on the occasion of the "Laurel and Sacred Oils festival" which took place this year 2022 on Easter Monday in the Sicilian town of Forza D'Agrò (in the province of Messina), after a long stop due to the Covid-19 pandemic; this is a traditional event that has taken place for centuries with changes that have come about over the years, in fact once the population of Forza D'Agrò went in procession to the Norman monastery of Saints Peter and Paul where the Holy Oils were kept: this church is located in the village of Casalvecchio Siculo (Forza D'Agrò and Casalvecchio Siculo are located on two mountains, the two villages are visible to each other, since in ancient times this represented a very fast means to be able to communicate visually between them, in case of raids by Saracen pirates), this church was built by the Normans, it was originally located on the opposite side of where it is now located, this is because a flood of the Agrò river had endangered this structure, which had also been sacked by the Arabs, it was decided to secure it, it was completely dismantled, and then rebuilt, on the opposite side and further up from the river bed); the feast then took place when Roger II, called the Norman, granted the abbot Cerasino the possibility of rebuilding this abbey (diploma of donation of 1117), but not only ... the monks of this abbey were, again by Roger II, equipped with some fixed income, and even the complete ownership of an entire village, the current Forza D'Agrò, was given to them, with absolute power of the monks over the things and people of the village. Then, the Sacred Oils were brought from this Abbey to the church of San Michele Arcangelo (today a ruin) which is located in a district of Forza D'Agrò, with the population who used to adorn themselves for this procession with colored silk ribbons, to which over time, laurel branches were added, also carried by devotees in procession. The festival is essentially based on three strongly symbolic elements, the laurel, the Holy Oil, and the "cuddure". "The laurel" represents the "victory of Christ over Death", in fact the festival takes place on the "Day of the Angel, during the Easter period", a day that recalls that the Resurrection of Christ took place; laurel is a strongly symbolic and fragrant plant, it is used in this context, for elaborate compositions that adorn "the banners", they can be small because they are made by children, up to very large and high (difficult to hold up when there is wind due to the strong "sail effect" they cause), are made with load-bearing structures made of cane or wood, which serve to hold the fabrics on which they are sewn one by one, laurel leaves, creating drawings of a religious nature, banners that participate in a competition for the best realization (each banner in fact carries a number, as a reference for the voting jury); "Holy Oil", an element used for anointing the sick and invoking their healing, represents "redemption from sin" and "spiritual healing", is carried in procession, also a symbol of the Holy Spirit who embraces the body and soul of man and that refers to Christ, "the Anointed"; finally "the cuddure" (they are small circular loaves, with naturally leavened intertwined and dough, on which a symbol is imprinted), and they symbolize "prosperity", but also "charity", and that is why the brothers of the SS. Trinity distribute them to the people present at the feast as a sign of gift. This year, however, due to the restrictions of Covid-19, the "cuddure" did not take place, the "blessing of the Holy Oils" was performed in the Mother Church, and not in the characteristic square in the center of the town , while the procession was made along a short route, and not along the traditional route which, after having crossed the center of the town, then circumscribes it along its entire periphery. As explained above, this festival is also called "'a festa d'u d'auru" (the laurel feast), or "' the feast of cudduredde" (the feast of small donut-shaped loaves); the "banners awarding" will close this characteristic feast, to the great joy of all those who participated.

Questo racconto fotografico, è stato realizzato in occasione della “festa dell’Alloro e degli Oli Sacri” che si è svolta quest’anno 2022 il giorno del Lunedì dell’Angelo nel paese siciliano di Forza D’Agrò (in provincia di Messina), dopo un lungo stop a causa della pandemia da Covid-19; è questo un evento tradizionale che si svolge da secoli con delle modifiche che sono venute a crearsi negli anni, infatti un tempo la popolazione di Forza D’Agrò andava in processione fino al monastero normanno dei Santi Pietro e Paolo ove erano custoditi gli Oli Santi: tale chiesa si trova nel paese di Casalvecchio Siculo (Forza D’Agrò e Casalvecchio Siculo si trovano su due monti, i due paesi sono visibili l’un l’altro, poiché anticamente questo rappresentava un mezzo rapidissimo per poter comunicare visivamente tra loro, in caso di scorribande di pirati saraceni), tale chiesa fu costruita dai Normanni, essa originariamente si trovava sul versante opposto rispetto a dove è situata ora, questo perchè una piena del fiume d’Agrò aveva messo in pericolo tale struttura, ma essa era anche stata saccheggiata dagli Arabi, si decise così di metterla in sicurezza, fu smontata completamente, per poi essere riedificata, sul versante opposto e più distante in alto rispetto al letto del fiume); la festa quindi ebbe luogo quando Ruggero II, detto il Normanno, concesse all’abate Cerasino la possibilità di riedificare tale abazia (diploma di donazione del 1117), ma non solo…i monaci di tale abazia furono, sempre da Ruggero II, dotati di alcuni redditi fissi, ed addirittura venne data a loro la completa proprietà di un intero villaggio, l’attuale Forza D’Agrò, con assoluto potere dei monaci su cose e persone del villaggio. Quindi, gli Oli Sacri venivano portati da tale Abazia alla chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo (oggi un rudere) che si trova in una contrada di Forza D’Agrò, con la popolazione che anticamente usava adornarsi per tale processione con nastri di seta colorati, ai quali col tempo, sono andati ad aggiungersi i rami di alloro, portati anche questi dai devoti in processione. La festa si basa essenzialmente su tre elementi fortemente simbolici, l’alloro, l’Olio Santo, e le “cuddure”. “L’alloro” rappresenta la “vittoria del Cristo sulla Morte”, infatti la festa si svolge il “Giorno dell’Angelo” durante il periodo Pasquale, giorno che rievoca che è avvenuta la Resurrezione del Cristo; l’alloro è una pianta fortemente simbolica e profumata, essa viene utilizzata in questo contesto, per elaborate composizioni che adornano “gli stendardi”, i quali sono dei drappi-vessilli, possono essere di piccole dimensioni perché realizzati dai bambini, fino a molto grandi ed alti (difficili da reggere quando c’è vento per il forte “effetto vela” che essi causano), sono realizzati con delle strutture portanti fatte di canna o di legno, che servono a reggere le stoffe sulle quali vengono cucite una ad una, le foglie di alloro, realizzando dei disegni di carattere religioso, stendardi che partecipano ad una gara per la migliore realizzazione (ogni stendardo infatti porta un numero, come riferimento per la giuria votante); “l’Olio Santo” è un elemento usato per l’unzione dei malati ed invocarne la guarigione, rappresenta la “redenzione dal peccato” e la “guarigione spirituale”, viene portato in processione (insieme a delle foglie di alloro), anch’esso simbolo dello Spirito Santo che abbraccia corpo ed anima dell’uomo e che rimanda a Cristo, “l’Unto”; infine “le cuddure” (sono dei piccoli pani di forma circolare, con la pasta lievitata naturalmente ed intrecciata, su cui è impresso un simbolo), esse simboleggiano la “prosperità”, ma anche la “carità”, è per questo che i confrati della SS. Trinità li distribuiscono alle persone presenti alla festa in segno di dono. Quest’anno però, a causa delle restrizioni causate dal Covid-19, le “cuddure” non si sono fatte, la “benedizione degli Oli Santi” è stata eseguita nella Chiesa Madre, e non nella caratteristica piazza che si trova nel centro del paese, mentre la processione è stata fatta lungo un breve percorso, e non lungo il percorso tradizionale, molto più lungo, che dopo aver attraversato il centro del paese, poi lo circoscrive lungo tutta la sua periferia. Per quanto esposto prima, tale festa viene chiamata anche "a’ festa d'u d'auru" (la festa dell'alloro), oppure "a’ festa di cudduredde" (la festa dei piccoli pani a forma di ciambella); la "premiazione degli stendardi" chiude questa caratteristica festa, tra la grandissima gioia di tutti coloro che vi hanno partecipato.
Desde hace ya tiempo, y debido a mi trabajo y después merecidas vacaciones, hace mucho que no publicaba una foto. Expero romper esa racha de inactividad con esta foto, que resume para mi mis vacaciones: naturaleza, grandiosidad, contrastes, tranquilidad.

A densidade turística numa das características vielas pedonais de Positano, uma localidade emblemática da Costa Amalfitana, na região da Campânia. A via é coberta por uma pérgula rústica de madeira, entrelaçada com vegetação densa, uma solução arquitetónica tradicional do Mediterrâneo concebida para proporcionar sombra e amenizar o calor estival. Penduradas na estrutura, observam-se reproduções de iconografia religiosa e sinalética local, elementos que fundem a devoção cultural com a estética comercial da vila. Historicamente uma modesta comunidade piscatória, Positano transformou-se num destino de elite em meados do século XX, impulsionada pela literatura de viagem e pelo cinema, integrando hoje a área classificada como Património Mundial pela UNESCO desde 1997. A fotografia ilustra vividamente o contraste entre a atmosfera bucólica da cobertura vegetal e a pressão do turismo de massas que inunda as estreitas artérias desta paisagem vertical, evidenciando os desafios contemporâneos de preservação e mobilidade num dos cenários mais visitados de Itália.
Tourist density in one of the characteristic pedestrian alleys of Positano, an emblematic town on the Amalfi Coast in the Campania region. The street is covered by a rustic wooden pergola, intertwined with dense vegetation, a traditional Mediterranean architectural solution designed to provide shade and mitigate the summer heat. Hanging from the structure are reproductions of religious iconography and local signage, elements that blend cultural devotion with the commercial aesthetics of the village. Historically a modest fishing community, Positano became an elite destination in the mid-20th century, driven by travel literature and cinema, and is now part of the area classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The photograph vividly illustrates the contrast between the bucolic atmosphere of the vegetation cover and the pressure of mass tourism that floods the narrow arteries of this vertical landscape, highlighting the contemporary challenges of preservation and mobility in one of Italy's most visited settings.
Lamborghini is redefining the super sports car with the cutting-edge technology in the new Sesto Elemento. Thanks to its advanced carbon-fiber design, the Sesto Elemento has
an overall curb weight of just 2,202 lbs (999 kilograms). Couple this with a V10 serving up an amazing 570 hp, and the Sesto Elemento is able to reach 62 mph in a blistering 2.5 seconds.
The name Sesto Elemento refers to the periodic table, and pays homage to the sixth element, carbon. Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are an exciting part of Lamborghinis technological expertise, and are integral to the Sesto Elementos rapid-fire acceleration. The super sports car brand from SantAgata Bolognese has mastered the complete CFRP process across a range of technologies, from 3-D design through simulation, validation, production and testing.
The Sesto Elemento is finished in a new, matte-shimmer clear coating, so the CFRP structure can be seen throughout. Yet the
Sesto Elemento is not just black; during the final stage of production the carbon fiber parts receive a newly developed and patented coating. Nanotechnology makes it possible to add fine crystals with a red shimmer. Surfaces with this finish glow red to an outstanding effect.
With razor-sharp handling, massive braking power and voracious speed, the extremely lightweight Sesto Elemento creates a brand new dimension in super sports car driving.
from the concours' program
It’s called Sesto Elemento, like the sixth element of the Periodic Table, carbon, and its name announces its main feature: extreme lightness.
INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
The Sesto Elemento weighs only 999 kg, engine and transmission included. Its V10 unleashes 570 CV with a weight-to-power ratio of 1.75 kg/CV. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, also thanks to the permanent all-wheel drive that distributes the thrust onto all four wheels. The Sesto Elemento is therefore the Lamborghini with the best acceleration ever, and it far exceeds the top speed of 300 km/h. This is all thanks to the only principle that inspired this car, lightness, which makes it extremely quick off the mark, responsive in cornering, and with sensational braking.
Notre-Dame, Paris, France.
Notre-Dame es una catedral de culto católico, sede de la archidiócesis de París, la capital de Francia. Dedicada a la Virgen María, madre de Jesucristo, se sitúa en la pequeña isla de la Cité, rodeada por las aguas del río Sena. Es uno de los monumentos más populares de la capital francesa.
Se trata de uno de los edificios más señeros y antiguos de cuantos se construyeron en estilo gótico. El uso innovador de la bóveda de crucería y del arbotante, los enormes y coloridos rosetones y el naturalismo y la abundancia de decoración escultórica lo diferencian de la arquitectura románica.
Su edificación comenzó en el año 1163 y, para 1260, ya estaba completada en su mayor parte, aunque se terminó en el año 1345 y se modificó de manera frecuente a lo largo de los siglos siguientes, debido a necesidades de renovación y también por la evolución del gusto dominante. En 1786 la aguja central, dañada por las inclemencias del tiempo, hubo de ser desmontada. Durante la década de 1790, tras la Revolución francesa, Notre Dame fue desacralizada y sufrió el robo y dispersión de muchos de sus bienes así como la profanación de parte de su imaginería religiosa, que quedó dañada y destruida. Tras ser empleada como almacén, en 1802, se devolvió su uso a la Iglesia católica gracias a Napoleón Bonaparte, quien se coronaría emperador en Notre Dame dos años después. Con todo, el templo subsistió en modestas condiciones hasta que la publicación en 1831 de Nuestra Señora de París, novela escrita por Victor Hugo y cuyo escenario principal era Notre Dame, reavivó el interés popular por la vieja catedral parisina. El arquitecto Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, defensor del naciente estilo neogótico, encabezó un proyecto de restauración que comenzó en 1845 y se prolongó durante un cuarto de siglo; esta intervención, demasiado audaz según algunos historiadores, no solo reparó ornamentos dañados sino que también incorporó elementos enteramente nuevos, como una nueva aguja de 96 metros de altura y las hoy célebres Quimeras, y demolió los edificios circundantes. Ya en 1963 se procedió a limpiar de hollín la fachada, que así recuperó su color original. Entre 1991 y 2000 se llevó a cabo una nueva campaña de limpieza y restauración, pero el edificio seguía necesitando intervenciones en otras partes, como su aguja central, y (tras dificultades para reunir financiación) las reparaciones se reactivaron en 2019.
El 15 de abril de 2019 el edificio sufrió daños significativos a causa de un incendio; dos tercios de la techumbre fueron destruidos, la aguja central de Viollet-le-Duc cayó y los rosetones quedaron dañados. El fuego pudo deberse a un descuido durante las obras de remozamiento que se estaban efectuando, pero esta suposición está sujeta a una investigación ahora en curso.
Notre-Dame is a cathedral of Catholic worship, seat of the archdiocese of Paris, the capital of France. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, it is located on the small island of la Cité, surrounded by the waters of the River Seine. It is one of the most popular monuments in the French capital.
It is one of the most outstanding and oldest buildings of all those built in the Gothic style. The innovative use of the rib vault and the flying buttress, the huge and colorful rose windows and the naturalism and abundance of sculptural decoration differentiate it from Romanesque architecture.
Its construction began in the year 1163 and, by 1260, it was already completed for the most part, although it was finished in the year 1345 and it was modified frequently throughout the following centuries, due to renovation needs and also due to the evolution of the dominant taste. In 1786 the central spire, damaged by inclement weather, had to be dismantled. During the 1790s, after the French Revolution, Notre Dame was desecrated and suffered the theft and dispersal of many of its assets as well as the desecration of part of its religious imagery, which was damaged and destroyed. After being used as a warehouse in 1802, its use was returned to the Catholic Church thanks to Napoleon Bonaparte, who would crown himself emperor at Notre Dame two years later. All in all, the temple survived in modest conditions until the publication in 1831 of Our Lady of Paris, a novel written by Victor Hugo and whose main setting was Notre Dame, revived popular interest in the old Parisian cathedral. The architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, defender of the nascent neo-Gothic style, led a restoration project that began in 1845 and lasted for a quarter of a century; This intervention, too daring according to some historians, not only repaired damaged ornaments but also incorporated entirely new elements, such as a new 96-meter-high spire and the now-famous Chimeras, and demolished the surrounding buildings. Already in 1963, the façade was cleaned of soot, thus recovering its original color. A new clean-up and restoration campaign was carried out between 1991 and 2000, but the building still needed interventions elsewhere, such as its central spire, and (after difficulties in raising funding) repairs were reactivated in 2019.
On April 15, 2019, the building suffered significant damage due to a fire; Two thirds of the roof were destroyed, the central spire of Viollet-le-Duc fell and the rose windows were damaged. The fire may have been caused by carelessness during the renovation work being carried out, but this assumption is subject to an investigation now underway.
