Un altra inquadratura "classica" dalla linea del Ponente ligure per questo Intercity Milano-Ventimiglia affidato all'immancabile E444 ed ad una delle nuove composizioni "degradate" frecciabianca. (3/5/16)
Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) in Florence over the Arno river. Butchers have been excluded from trading there since 1595, a decision originally taken to enhance the prestige of the bridge!
Diano Marina is a village on the Italian riviera or also called flower riviera. In 1887, Diano was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake. Therefore, many houses have a "modern" architecture and no longer contribute to the typical idyllic architecture that we tourists from the north imagine from Italian fishing villages
Spanish steps (Edited)
Its Italian name is “Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti” and composed of 12 ramps and 135 travertine steps, it is considered the widest and longest staircase of Europe, welcoming millions of tourists and Romans who visit at all times of the day.
The ‘Spanish steps’ in Rome, built in Rococo style between 1723 and 1726, are the steps that lead from the Piazza di Spagna square to the French monastery church Trinita dei Monti (built between 1502–1587). There are 135 steps and three different terraces, referring to the Holy Trinity (the Trinità). The top of the stairs near the Egyptian obelisk offers a beautiful view, albeit one shared with throngs of other tourists. The name can be a bit confusing, as the construction of the steps was actually commissioned by the French (Louis XII). In the 17th century, the Spanish embassy was located on the square – ‘Piazza di Spagna’ – at the base of the stairs, hence the name ‘Spanish Steps’. The official name is therefore not Spanish steps, but Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti.
The Italian Riviera is also known as the Flower Coast. For a long time, the flower decorations of the New Year's Concert came from San Remo. But many foreign guests, especially from Asian countries, also try their luck by offering roses to the many tourists in bars and restaurants.
