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.
Brunate overlooks Como, which lies on the shore of Lake Como some 500 metres below. For a short time in the late 12th century Brunate was an independent commune, but in 1240 it reverted to the suzerainty of Como. Como and Brunate are linked by a steep, narrow, winding road, and by the Como to Brunate funicular. Alessandro Volta lived in Brunate for a short period and the Bulgarian poet Pencho Slaveykov died in the town on 10 June 1912.
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.
