L'antica Masseria abbandonata - 古代の放棄されたマッセリア (Kodai no Hōki sa reta Masseria) - The Ancient Abandoned Masseria -
"Un tempo cuore pulsante della vita contadina pugliese, questa masseria abbandonata si erge come un testimone silenzioso del passato. Le sue mura consumate dal tempo raccontano di stagioni di raccolto, di voci lontane e di un’operosità oggi dimenticata. Sotto un cielo carico di nuvole, la natura si riappropria di ciò che le apparteneva, intrecciando vita e decadenza in un abbraccio eterno."
"かつてプーリアの農村生活の中心だったこのマッセリアは、過去の静かな証人として立っています。時の流れに削られたその壁は、収穫の季節、遠い声、そして今は忘れられた勤勉な日々を語っています。雲が垂れ込める空の下、自然がその場所を取り戻し、生命と衰退が永遠に交わる光景を描き出します。"
"Once the vibrant heart of Apulian rural life, this masseria now stands as a silent witness to the past. Its weathered walls tell stories of harvest seasons, distant voices, and a diligence now forgotten. Under a sky heavy with clouds, nature reclaims its place, weaving life and decay into an eternal embrace."
What a game that was!
Un'estate italiana
it probably won't be a song
to change the rules of the game
but I want to live this adventure like this
having no limits and with my heart in my throat
The world is full of colors
and the wind caresses the flags
a shiver comes and it carries you away
and it cools down the madness in an embrace
magic nights
following a goal
under the sky
of an Italian summer
And in your eyes
the desire to win
a summer
one more adventure
That dreams that starts when you're [just] a kid
and that takes you always further
it's not a fairy tale
it comes from the locker rooms
the guys come out and it's us
magic nights
following a goal
under the sky
of an Italian summer
And in your eyes
the desire to win
a summer
one more adventure.
Gianna Nannini Edoardo Bennato - Un' estate Italiana ( Worldcup song Italia90 )
Forse non sara una canzone
a cambiare le regole del gioco
ma voglio viverla cosi quest' avventura
senza frontiere e con il cuore in gola
E it mondo in una giostra di colori
e il vento accarezza le bandiere
arriva un bivido e ti trascina via
e sciogi in un abbraccio la follia
notti magiche
inseguendo un goal
sotto il cieto
di un'estate italiana
E negli occhi tuoi
voglia di vincere
un' estate
un avventura in piu
Quel sognio che comincia da bambino
e che ti porta sempre piu lontano
non e una favola - e diagli spogliatoi
escono i ragazza e siamo noi
notti magiche
inseguendo un goal
sotto il cielo
di un'estate italiana
E negli occhi tuoi
voglia di vincere
un' estate
un avventura in piu
notti magiche
inseguendo un goal
sotto il cielo
di un'estate italiana
E negli occhi tuoi
voglia di vincere
un' estate
un avventura in piu
un avventura
un avventura in piu
un avventura goal!
During WWII in the invasion of Italy many allied nations joined in and fought to liberate Italy from Mussolini's fascist government and soon Nazi Germany.
Here you see Canadians fighting the German Fallschrimjagers.
What started out as a small side project became this. So as many of you can tell my photo situation has changed due to my dining room table and decorations being sold. The table tops i've used had to go with it. On the plus side my now open dining room is great for pictures. Credit for the roof goes to Elliot.
Cheers guys. Ill have more uploads soon

Hatszáz évig dolgoztak rajta. Hat évszázad építőmesterei - az égbe törő francia és német gótika művészei és a tágabb térhtásokra törő olaszok - töprengtek azon, miként alakuljanak formái. Rajta hagyta nyomait a reneszánsz és a barokk is. Ez a sokfajta stílustörekvés leolvasható a főhomlokzatról, melyet Napóleon idején fejeztek be.
Kétezer szobor! A fiatornyok tetején, a pilléreken, a kúszóleveles támasztó íveken, az ereszcsatornák nyílásainál és a csipkésen csúcsíves párkányzatokon - mindenütt szobor, minden korszakból; a gótika ördög- és állatfejei, vízköpő szörnyei, oszlopszentek, kifacsart tagú barokk alkotások, a pillérek terhét nyögve tartó kariatidák. Mindez a márvány fehérlő, az időtől elefántcsontszínűre patinásodott tompa csillogásában, ezernyi tűként fúródva az ég kékjébe, csúcsok és csipkézetek ágas-bogas - és mégis olyan organikus rengetegében. Az összbenyomás izgatóan lenyűgöző.
La macelleria di paese
Nei piccoli centri del Nord Italia, dove le strade si svuotano nel primo pomeriggio e il tempo sembra scorrere con un ritmo diverso, le insegne delle vecchie botteghe resistono agli anni e ai cambiamenti. Qui, tra edifici segnati dal tempo e serrande abbassate, sopravvivono ancora le macellerie e le salumerie di una volta, quelle dove il banco ha visto passare generazioni di clienti abituali.
Nonostante la grande distribuzione e le catene di supermercati, ci sono ancora luoghi dove il commercio è fatto di fiducia, di chiacchiere veloci davanti al registratore di cassa e di prezzi scritti a mano su foglietti ingialliti.
村の精肉店 (Mura no seinikuten)
イタリア北部の小さな町では、午後になると通りが静かになり、時間がゆっくりと流れているように感じられる。そんな場所では、昔ながらの商店の看板が今も残り、時代の変化にも負けずに立ち続けている。
時を経た建物と閉ざされたシャッターの間に、昔ながらの精肉店や食料品店が今もなお営業を続けている。ここでは、長年にわたって常連客を迎えてきたカウンターがあり、スーパーマーケットや大手チェーンの波に押されながらも、信頼と手書きの値札、レジ前で交わされる短い会話の中で商いが続いている。
The village butcher shop
In the small towns of Northern Italy, where streets empty in the early afternoon and time seems to flow at a different pace, the signs of old shops withstand the years and changes. Here, among weathered buildings and closed shutters, traditional butcher shops and delicatessens still survive—places where the counter has seen generations of loyal customers.
Despite the rise of supermarkets and retail chains, there are still places where commerce is built on trust, quick conversations at the register, and prices written by hand on yellowed slips of paper.
A little online research reveals that there are four types of lizard to be found on the isle of Sicily. Two, the Sicilian wall Lizard and the Italian wall lizard are very similar in appearance. As far as I can tell this example which was photographed at the wonderful Vendacari Nature Reserve is an Italian Wall Lizard. It's size for one thing, having a body (not including the tail) of around six inches was the most obvious factor in my decision process.
From what I have read, this species has been introduced widely in other countries ands has become an unwanted pest. It breeds quickly and outcompetes other local wildlife.

The primary inspiration for The Breakers was Italian Renaissance style, which differs quite a bit from the other Vanderbilt property I've been to, Biltmore, where the design was influenced by elegant French chateaus.
