Como is a city and comune in Lombardy, Italy. It is the administrative capital of the Province of Como.

 

Its proximity to Lake Como and to the Alps has made Como a tourist destination, and the city contains numerous works of art, churches, gardens, museums, theatres, parks, and palaces: the Duomo, seat of the Diocese of Como; the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio; the Villa Olmo; the public gardens with the Tempio Voltiano; the Teatro Sociale; the Broletto or the city's medieval town hall; and the 20th-century Casa del Fascio.

We jump back to the poplar forest in Lombardy. This time, however, we look up into the canopy where the sun creates a view that is truly extraordinary.

The leaves, some of which are still yellow and some of which are already green, shine with an intensity I have never seen before. Seeing this image, I immediately understand why forests were once sacred places, just like our cathedrals are today.

Even after the photo was already in the camera, I just stood there for a long time and admired this golden roof with fascination. For someone who saw me doing this, it must have been an unusual sight, at the very least.

 

Wir springen noch einmal kurz zurück in den Pappelwald in der Lombardei. Dieses Mal jedoch blicken wir nach oben in das Blätterdach wo die Sonne einen Anblick erschafft, der wahrlich außergewöhnlich ist.

Die teils noch gelben, teils schon grün gefärbten Blätter leuchten mit einer Intensität, wie ich es zuvor noch nie gesehen habe. Bei diesem Bild verstehe ich sofort, warum Wälder einst heilige Orte waren, so wie es unseren heutigen Kathedralen sind.

Ich habe hier, auch nachdem das Foto schon in der Kamera war, eine ganze Zeit nur dagestanden und fasziniert dieses goldene Dach bewundert. Für jemanden, der mich dabei beobachtet hat, muss das ein zumindest ungewöhnlicher Anblick gewesen sein. .

Populus nigra 'Italica'

“To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.” ― St. Augustine of Hippo

Position: The unique 12th-century Rocca Scaligero Castle was built on the remains of ancient Roman fortress and is an unmissable landmark of the spa resort of Sirmione on the Lago di Garda. The whole fortress is surrounded by water, which in ancient times was crucial in defending the city. It is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. The fortress also included a fortified port. Sirmione is a comune and town located in the province of Brescia in the region of Lombardy, Italy.

A Populus nigra L., commonly known as a Lombardy poplar or black poplar, grows alongside a house in Pine Mountain Club, Kern County, California. This resort community and golf course consists of private inholdings within Los Padres National Forest. Native to Europe, northwestern Africa, and western Asia, the tall, columnar, fast growing Lombardy poplar is used in landscaping and windbreaks and is not native to California. As seen here, it is beautiful during the fall.

Palazzo Recalcati Prinetti, Milano

 

La mole ampia e imponente del palazzo già dei marchesi Recalcati si erge nella parte terminale di via Amedei, al civico 8. L’edificio si sviluppa su tre piani con forme eleganti e sobrie riscontrabili nelle modanature delle finestre, circondate da cornici di pietra e nelle mensole sagomate che reggono l’aggetto del tetto. Il portale d’ingresso è costituito da un’arcata a tutto sesto circondata da una cornice di pietra. Oltrepassato l’androne voltato a botte ci si immette nei due cortili di gusto bramantesco realizzati all’inizio del XVI secolo; il primo cortile, discreto e raccolto, è connotato dalla presenza di arcate tamponate sostenute da paraste.

Ai piani superiori si aprono eleganti balconcini dalla balaustra in ferro battuto.

Nella parete di fondo il porticato a loggia immette nel secondo cortile, vasto ed arioso, impostato sulla scansione di colonne in serizzo con elaborati capitelli corinzi recanti scudi e targhe e decorazioni a putti, fiori e cartigli.

Le arcate a tutto sesto sono profilate in cotto e presentano

chiavi in pietra fogliate o recanti decorazioni a mascheroni e ad aquile. La pavimentazione in ciottoli alternati bianchi e neri forma un disegno ottagonale da cui si originano riserve laterali. Le finestre del piano nobile sono corredate da cornici dalle forme settecentesche.

Il palazzo già Recalcati, poi Litta, in seguito Prinetti,

dal maggio 1921 al giugno 1925 ospitò il Circolo d’Arte e d’Alta

Coltura, un’istituzione nata con l’intento di creare un centro

culturale e artistico cittadino che avesse tra gli scopi quello di

allestire esposizioni artistiche dedicate a opere d’arte conservate in collezioni private milanesi ma non solo.

Ballabio. Italy

 

This should have been the golden hour. Met with a friend after work and we hiked till the summit of this mountain. Hoped to catch some gret view in the beautiful light of late afternoon, but the haze won the battle with the sun. This is Lombardy after all :)

From the summit of Monte Due Mani, "Two Hands" Mountain, view toward the towns of Lecco and Ballabio.

 

Speravo in una bella vista dalla cima al tramonto, ma il meteo ha voluto diversamente.

PASSAGES SERIES - Passages, speeches, thoughts, notes, places, footprints...

 

Brescia is a medium-sized city in Lombardy. I really like it there, for several reasons. It's the smallest city in the world to have a metro system, it's a beautiful city, with Roman and medieval sites, an incredible city. Plus I lived there when I was just a baby, and it's the birthplace of some of my ancestors. I was there for only 7 days in 2019 but I loved the city. Soon after, the city was one of the most affected by the pandemic, and I was very sad.

Brescia é uma cidade média na Lombardia. Gosto muito de lá, por vários motivos. É a menor cidade do mundo a ter um sistema de metrô, é uma cidade linda, com sítios romanos e medievais, uma cidade incrível. Além disso eu morei ali quando era apenas um bebê, e é a terra natal de alguns de meus ancestrais.Estive ali pro apenas 7 dias em 2019 mas amei a cidade. Logo deposi a cidade foi uma das mais afetadas pela pandemia, e fiquei muito triste.
