Mausoleo di Galla Placidia
Galla Placidia (386-452), sorella di Onorio, l'imperatore romano che trasferì nel 402 la capitale dell' impero d'occidente da Milano a Ravenna, fece costruire intorno al 425-450 questo piccolo Mausoleo, un edificio a forma di croce latina oggi famoso per lo splendore dei mosaici. L'esterno dell'edificio è molto semplice, in contrasto con la ricchezza della decorazione musiva dell'interno, la più antica di Ravenna. I mosaici rivestono le pareti delle colte, delle lunette e della cupola. I temi iconografici sviluppati nelle decorazioni rappresentano il tema della vittoria della vita eterna sulla morte.
L'incanto del cielo stellato di Galla Placidia
L'atmosfera del Mausoleo di Galla Placidia è sicuramente magica: entrando nel piccolo edificio a croce latina si rimane colpiti dall'improvviso passaggio dalla luce del giorno alla riproduzione dell'atmosfera notturna. Le innumerevoli stelle della cupola hanno colpito la fantasia e la sensibilità dei visitatori di Ravenna. Si narra che Cole Porter, in viaggio di nozze nella nostra città alla fine degli anni '20 rimase talmente colpito dall'atmosfera del piccolo mausoleo e dalle sue stelle, che compose la sua famosissima Night and Day.
Mausoleum of Galla Placidia
Galla Placidia (386-452), the sister of Honorius, the Roman Emperor who moved the Capital of the western empire from Milan to Ravenna, built this little Latin cross plan Mausoleum around 425-450. It is famous today for the splendour of its mosaics. The exterior is very sober, contrasting with the magnificence of the interior decoration, the most ancient in Ravenna. Mosaics cover the walls of the vault, the lunettes and the cupola. The iconographic themes developed in the decorations represent the victory of eternal life over death.
The spell of the starry sky of Galla Placidia
The atmosphere of the Mausoleum of Gall Placidia is undoubtedly magical. On entering the small building, constructed in the form of a Latin cross, the visitor is struck by the sudden change from daylight to a created nocturnal ambience. The countless stars of the cupola have made a profound impression on the imagination and sensitivity of visitors to Ravenna. It is said that Cole Porter, while on his honeymoon in our city at the end of the 1920s, was so impressed by the mood and the stars of the small mausoleum that he wrote his famous Night and Day.

O Exercício Cruzeiro do Sul (CRUZEX) é um exercício multinacional e operacional organizado pela Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) desde 2002, que visa o treinamento conjunto em cenários de conflito e promove a troca de experiências entre os países participantes.
A edição de 2024, programada para acontecer de 3 a 15 de novembro na Base Aérea de Natal, reunirá 16 países, mais de 3.000 militares e cerca de 100 aeronaves, entre brasileiras e estrangeiras.
É o maior treinamento multinacional de guerra da América Latina, liderado pela Força Aérea Brasileira, com a participação do Exército e da Marinha do Brasil. Estão previstas mais de 1.500 horas de voo, com vários tipos de missões, incluindo ataque ao solo, superioridade aérea, escolta e reabastecimento em voo.
Nesta edição, a Força Aérea Brasileira introduziu dois novos elementos em suas operações: os domínios cibernético e espacial. O primeiro contará com exercícios simulados que expandem o treinamento ao integrar operações cibernéticas e aéreas, testando a segurança de sistemas críticos que dão suporte às atividades aeroespaciais. O último incluirá simulações realistas de eventos relacionados ao espaço que influenciam diretamente a tomada de decisões e, consequentemente, o curso de um conflito.

Latin Bridge (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian: Latinska ćuprija / Латинска ћуприја, named Principov most / Принципов мост - "Princip Bridge" in Yugoslavian era) is an Ottoman bridge over the river Miljacka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The northern end of the bridge was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip in 1914, which became casus belli of World War I.
On June 28, 1914 at the turning from the Right Bank into a street Gavrilo Princip shot and killed Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. This was the immediate cause for the beginning of the First World War. The bridge was renamed Princip during the Yugoslavian era. The name returned to the Latin Bridge after the Yugoslav Wars.
Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

This was my favorite show garden at the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show. The designers of each show garden are present to talk to the public and it was this designer, Jonathan Snow, that I talked with the longest.
He found many South American wildflowers put in two waterfalls and a red path through a temperate South America. Here the RHS link to The Trailfinders ‘Undiscovered Latin America’ Garden.
Rab (Italian: Arbe, Latin: Arba) is a town (grad) on the island of Rab in Croatia. According to the 2011 census the total population of the town was 8,065, whereas only 437 lived in the titular settlement (naselje). Rab, the settlement, is located on a small peninsula on the southwestern side of the island.
The town has a long history that dates back to 360 BC when it was inhabited by the Illyrians. The island was the frontier between the regions of Liburnia and Dalmatia. From the third century BC to the sixth century AD Rab was part of the Roman Empire, and Emperor Augustus proclaimed it a municipium in 10 BC. It was the first town of Roman Dalmatia to be given the honorary title "felix".
Among the signatories of the Second Council of Nicea was a bishop of Rab, namely Ursus. (“Ursus episcopus Avaritianensium ecclesiae” Ursus of Rab)[3][4]
The worst disaster in the town's history was an outbreak of the plague in 1456 that decimated the city's population.
There are many churches in the town. The largest is St. Mary the Blessed, which was built in the 13th century. The church of St. Justine is now a museum of sacred arts, while the chapel of St. Christopher (dedicated to the patron saint of the island) is nowadays called the Lapidarium. The four church bell towers became the symbol of the town and island. The oldest dates back to the eleventh century.
Saint Marinus, the Christian founder of San Marino, was a native of Rab who is said to have fled the island under Diocletian's persecution in AD 301.
“Guttus”, a vessel with a narrow mouth or neck, from which liquids were poured in drops. Its name derives from the latin word "gutta": drop. The body of this "guttus" is modeled as a female protome, equipped with a ribbon-shaped loop and a high oblique spout, placed above the forehead. The vase is made in light orange clay; handle, spout and hair are painted black.
