DOMUS AUREA La reggia di Nerone.

RISCOPERTE Aprira' venerdi' a Roma una sezione dell' enorme edificio voluto dall' imperatore incendiario Una villa grande il doppio del Louvre costruita sul Colle Oppio. Di cui ora saranno accessibili trentadue stanze DOMUS AUREA La reggia di Nerone Un cantiere aperto: e' quello che si troveranno davanti i visitatori venerdi' prossimo, entrando nel labirinto di sale della Domus Aurea. "Cantiere in fase di sperimentazione", si affannano a ripetere i restauratori che sotto la sovrintendenza di Adriano La Regina si son dati da fare per vent' anni intorno agli affreschi che ancora rimangono ma che rischiano di svaporare se le tecniche messe in atto da architetti, ingegneri, archeologi, fisici, biologi e botanici, dovessero rivelarsi inefficaci. Sotto il controllo dell' architetto Antonello Vodret, hanno consolidato le volte minacciate dalle infiltrazioni d' acqua, sostituito il vecchio impianto di illuminazione, installato un sofisticato impianto contro l' umidita' che nei meandri sotterranei della Domus arriva al 98 per cento. In passato si pensava che la cura migliore fosse di ventilare gli ambienti e furono aperte una trentina di bocchette di aereazione. Poi ci si e' accorti che la ventilazione attirava in superficie l' acqua dei muri, ma anche i sali in essa disciolti, che andavano a cristallizzarsi sulle pitture rovinandole. Inoltre le correnti d' aria trasportavano nel sotterraneo agenti inquinanti e pulviscolo, accelerando i processi di degrado. Allora si e' fatto dietrofront, sigillando tutte le aperture, compreso il grande occhio aperto in mezzo al soffitto della Sala Ottagona, coperto con una pellicola opalina che diffonde la luce ma non lascia passare pioggia e vento. Ora il problema e' riuscire a tenere sotto controllo il microclima, con una temperatura costante di 12 gradi. Come l' apertura al pubblico influira' su questo microclima e' un mistero. Tra un anno si fara' il punto e si decidera' di conseguenza. Decisione rinviata anche per i graffiti tracciati sopra gli affreschi. Un numero infinito di "vandali", illustri e non, hanno lasciato la loro "firma" sulle pitture realizzate da Fabullus (o Famulus) per Nerone. Elio Pattarani, coordinatore dei 55 resaturatori che hanno ripulito 1.200 metri quadrati di affreschi sui 30 mila metri quadri scoperti finora, racconta che si passa dai graffiti veri e propri, agli scritti eseguiti con il nerofumo delle candele, dai nomi tracciati a sanguigna a quelli (dal ' 700 in poi) disegnati con la grafite. Il problema e' se cancellarli o no. Ma come si fa ad eliminare "vandalismi" che portano la firma di Giovanni da Udine e di "Pintoricchio sodomito", del Bigordi (il Ghirlandaio) e del celeberrimo fiammingo Martin van Hemmskeerk, di Casanova e De Sade, di Gustavo re di Svezia che nel ' 700 "imbratto" con la sua firma e quella degli innumerevoli cavalieri che lo accompagnavano oltre un metro quadrato di pitture? Un altro fiammingo, Postumus, fece di piu' : firmo' le volte affrescate della Domus e poi le ritrasse, graffiti compresi, in un quadro che rappresentava la fucina di Vulcano. "Abbiamo deciso di salvare i graffiti storici", racconta Pattarani. Ma per "storici", finora, si intendono quelli tracciati fino al 1950. Come dire che sono stati conservati tutti, escludendo solo le frasi del tipo "viva la Lazio" o "amo Maria". I restauratori sanno che questa non e' una soluzione. Anche perche' gli scritti, essendo tracciati sopra gli strati di calcare che ricoprono le pitture, non permettono di riportare alla luce queste ultime. Esempio eclatante: la stanza di Ettore e Andromaca. Per decidere quali siano degni di tutela, si aspetta che venga nominato un comitato di esperti dal ministero dei Beni culturali. Nel frattempo i restauratori ne hanno realizzato una documentazione grafica e fotografica completa, a disposizione degli studiosi. Lauretta Colonnelli
Una Versailles antica con quattrocento sale e un palco girevole Augusto viveva sul Palatino vicino alla capanna di Romolo e ai piedi del Tempio di Apollo nel cui podio aveva annidato le stanze preferite. Caligola aveva un ponte sul Velabro per collegare casa sua a quella di Giove Ottimo Massimo. Nerone ha una reggia che non conosce confronti. + forse lui a scatenare l' incendio in un giorno ventoso del 64 d.C. - stessa data dell' invasione gallica, quattro secoli prima! - e mentre le case aristocratiche vanno in fumo lui canta Troia caduta. La nuova Roma sara' per un terzo sua (80 ettari). Palatino, Velia, Oppio e Celio, dove prima di Roma era il protostorico Septimontium, vengono espropriati per costruire palazzi fra giardini e paesaggi idillici. + sbagliato correre subito alle pitture dai colori "floridi" e dal tocco "umido" di Fabullus. Stucchi, ori, avori, gemme e statue sono ornamenti di una sola signora, l' architettura - di Severo e Celere - talmente vasta che per ammirarla bisogna spiccare il volo come un uccello dal Campidoglio. Oltre il Foro e' un vialone, con portici per nascondere le rovine: la nuova Sacra via. In fondo ecco una facciata larga come il Louvre di Luigi XIV e dietro - su un alto podio riusato poi dal tempio di Venere e Roma - l' atrio immane da cui spiccava il colosso del nostro divo, alto trenta metri. Fino al 1996 non si capiva a cosa conducesse questo atrio - il resto della reggia e' infatti lontano - finche' una donna piccola e determinata, Clementina Panella, ha svelato il segreto, di cui non si parlera' in questi giorni ma che e' novita' vera. L' atrio portava a un palazzo lungo due Louvre, che si specchiava in un lago rettangolare - dove sara' il Colosseo - circondato da portici a due piani. La facciata colonnata doveva rassomigliare a quelle delle ville nelle pitture pompeiane. Questo e' dunque il cuore della reggia che ci mancava, conservato soltanto in fondazione, ma che possiamo finalmente immaginare... Altri palazzi neroniani sono sul Palatino la Domus Transitoria (su cui sorgera' la reggia di Domiziano) e la Domus Tiberiana (costruita sopra la casa di Tiberio). Ma e' sull' Oppio che era la Versailles famosissima, con il piano terreno conservatosi sotto le Terme di Traiano, ed e' questo edificio che si riapre dopo una generazione, per grande merito della Soprintendenza statale. La Domus Transitoria e' male conosciuta. La Domus Tiberiana e' un basamento fantastico sul Palatino verso il Foro. Sosteneva giardini sardanapalici e al centro una villa - padiglione, ancora ignota. La Versailles sull' Oppio, rivolta al ninfeo e al tempio del Divo Claudio sul Celio, era stretta e lunghissima, quattro volte il Louvre. Due rientranze pentagonali esaltano il corpo centrale che racchiude il celebre salone ottagono, perfettamente orientato, aperto su un ninfeo (con organo idraulico?) e su quattro triclini, contenente forse un palcoscenico girevole. Qui immaginiamo lui, Apollo - Sole, cantare roteando sotto petali di rose e profumi che cadevano dall' occhione della cupola (e i commensali ad avere paura del veleno). Duecento erano le sale al piano terreno e altrettante al primo, che aveva probabilmente al centro, su terrazza coperta da una cupola (come da moneta), la macchina per far ruotare la cosmica sala sottostante. Nerone si uccise quattro anni dopo l' incendio. La sua celeste reggia venne ricoperta da terme, anfiteatri e mercati, vasti come Shopping Centre. di ANDREA CARANDINI
Lippi, Pinturicchio, Raffaello s' avventurarono nei cunicoli per arrivare alle antiche volte che contraddicevano ogni regola, principio di logica, legge di gravita' . E la loro arte non fu piu' la stessa L' universo sepolto che incanto' i pittori del Rinascimento Per molto tempo l' arte antica era stata un universo monocromo, noto soltanto dai rilievi e dalle statue superstiti oppure che gli scavi facevano riemergere e da oscure citazioni polemiche di Vitruvio. Che cosa fosse la pittura antica era meno noto nel Rinascimento che nel Medioevo, quando le candelabre sulla cupola di Santa Costanza, ora distrutta, erano state reinterpretate dai maestri romanici di San Clemente a Roma. I primi pittori che entrarono a carponi nei lunghi cunicoli (le "grotte"), interposti tra la terra di riempimento e le volte della Domus Aurea, furono sconcertati dalla vista di un universo che contraddiceva ogni principio di logica e di gravita' . La prima reazione fu di mettere ordine in quel repertorio abbondantissimo di invezioni e di disporlo quindi su assi di simmetria, come fece, in incisioni che circolarono negli studi di artisti e di artigiani, il milanese Giovanni Pietro da Birago, il primo a diffondere il nuovo vocabolario a mezzo stampa. Chi operava a Roma, come Pinturicchio e Filippino Lippi, non poteva non andare di persona nei lunghi percorsi sotterranei. Il loro passaggio e' attestato non soltanto dall' immediato appropriarsi del linguaggio sfrenato e inventivo di quella pittura antica, ma dalle firme che fino al Settecento i visitatori tracciarono sulle volte, quasi sempre servendosi del nerofumo sprigionato dalle torce. Nelle grotte gli stucchi spartivano piccole aree complesse, cui le composizioni dovevano adattarsi, sovvertendo cosi' il rapporto tradizionale tra scena e cornice. Il primo a ideare un ambiente somigliante alle "grotte", fu Raffaellino Del Garbo, compagno di Filippino Lippi, nella tomba Carafa alla Minerva, con storie di eroine romane in piccoli comparsi di stucco. Finche' Giovanni da Udine, nel primo decennio del Cinquecento, trovo' la formula di quello stucco bianchissimo e lucente che era stato il segreto dei romani. Ora si poteva immaginare sale e logge veramente all' antica, dove gli stucchi non fossero piu' soltanto cornici, ma una parte integrante, narrativa e simbolica, del discoro decorativo. Il segreto delle "grotte" non era tutto nelle risorse tecniche. Una fantasia illimitata, coperta dall' autorita' degli antichi, poteva ora espandersi. Altre volte i decoratori avevano dato nascostamente sfogo a invenzioni audaci, ma senza intaccare la ferma struttura della scultura classica. Le "grotte" invece invitavano alla grazia festosa e alla liberta' cromatica e a trasformare la decorazione da fatto marginale in episodio centrale, lieve e immaginoso. + Raffaello, nel 1516, a dare senso compiuto ai frammentari messaggi dell' antico, quando realizza le Logge Vaticane e soprattutto la Loggetta e la "Stufetta" per il Cardinale Bibbiena. Nella Loggetta il bianco dominante unisce volte e pareti e su questo fondo luminoso si distende una decorazione trasparente, leggerissima e fragilmente delicata, sostanziata di continue reinvenzioni del repertorio antico. Le fanciulle che si librano come libellule, gli steli da cui gemmano acrobati e teste leonine, i tempietti sostenuti dalle ghirlande, piu' che viceversa, rapiscono lo spettatore in una inesplicabile successione di eventi come in un sogno. Non si tratta soltanto di decorazione. + nato il concetto nuovo di una pittura senza storie da raccontare. Anche il paesaggio puo' essere ora un puro pretesto. Non nel senso dei fiamminghi, poiche' l' allievo di Raffello, Maturino, lo concepisce come un luogo di profonda e malinconica contemplazione, dove la natura contende l' eternita' ai tempi del passato classico. di CARLO BERTELLI

Built 1879 as 3 shops for William Kither, architect Rowland Rees, replacing earlier premises on site. One shop was Kither’s butcher shop and the remaining two were occupied by various businesses, including dining rooms, fancy goods, confectioner, tailor, etc.
William Kither arrived in SA 1855 with his parents & siblings. He first worked for a draper before becoming an apprentice butcher. Later he encouraged his father to purchase the butcher shop. After his father’s death 1869 William with his mother Sarah ran the business as “S Kither & Son” until her death in 1875 when it was known as “W Kither”. He was the first to install refrigeration in 1884. After William’s death the business was carried on by his son Clarence Maturin Kither. The building was sold 1932 when Kither’s moved to King William Street.
Re-opened as Clarkson Ltd showrooms 5 Dec 1932, with architects Woods, Bagot, Laybourne-Smith & Irwin making the transformation, building purchased by Commonwealth Bank 1958, Clarksons leadlight & stained glass department closed 1960.
This building originally had the date MDCCCLXXX (ie 1880) and “Kither’s Buildings” on the facade. The ornate balcony has also been removed.

“On Saturday evening the first three shops of the block of buildings in Rundle street to be known hereafter as Kither's Buildings were lighted up and opened for the inspection of the public. . . The principal shop of the three is intended for Mr. W. Kither, and is one of the best-appointed butcher's establishments we have ever seen. The shop is thirty feet long by nineteen wide and fourteen in height. A very pleasing effect is secured by the introduction of Minton's hexagon glazed white enamelled tiles, with which the walls are entirely lined. . . There is to be an icehouse in this cellar in which to keep meat during the summer, and the accommodation otherwise is well adapted for the curing and export trade Mr. Kither carries on with Mauritius. Above and behind Mr. Kither's shop there is a substantial residence. The two adjoining shops are eighty-six feet long by twelve feet wide, and have above them rooms of the same dimensions.” [Evening Journal 14 Jul 1879]

William Kither arrived in SA 1855 with his parents & siblings. He first worked for a draper before becoming an apprentice butcher. Later he encouraged his father to purchase the butcher shop. After his father’s death 1869 William with his mother Sarah ran the business as “S Kither & Son” until her death in 1875 when it was known as “W Kither”. He was the first to install refrigeration in 1884. After William’s death the business was carried on by his son Clarence Maturin Kither.

Polidoro da Caravaggio
(Polidoro Caldara, 1499 Caravaggio – 1543 Messina)
Natività con Magi
Olio su tela cm 95 x 84
Collezione Privata
Il chiarore lontano, livido e concentrico, di questo paesaggio all’imbrunire eseguito da Polidoro da Caravaggio, è carico di magiche atmosfere, dove luci azzurre e fredde di gusto nordico, si fondono con cupezze cineree e bagliori argentei dei cieli di Lombardia, mentre è prossimo l’abbraccio scuro della notte.
I contorni tenui di costruzioni grigio azzurre, case, abitazioni di un paese lontano, che si stagliano sulle rive di un lago, che entra nella costa, spinge, si insinua e diventa palude, simbolo di una vita che ritaglia il suo spazio faticosamente, in un territorio duro e difficile, sono la risposte più appropriate di Polidoro alle pacate rappresentazioni classiche del maestro Raffaello.
Storie incantate, poesie senza tempo, favole disarmanti e letali, che nella loro istintiva vaghezza, ubriacano e rapiscono l’anima di chi le guarda.
L’evidente cultura figurativa lombarda di questa “Natività con Magi” eseguita da Polidoro Caldara da Caravaggio probabilmente tra il 1520 ed il 1525 traspare chiara tanto quanto le forti contaminazioni venete e fiamminghe.
Raffaello Sanzio e la cultura classica, sono visti e rivisitati con gli occhi ed il pennello di un giovane lombardo che ben si era formato tra Brescia, Bergamo e Milano, a stretto contatto con le opere di Vincenzo Foppa, Bernardino Butinone, Bernardo Zenale, Bergognone, Zanetto Bugatto, Leonardo, Bramante.
La dolcezza disarmante del San Giuseppe, inginocchiato su un solo ginocchio, col bastone fiorito tra le mani, avviluppato nel suo ampio mantello giallo limone dalla serica brillantezza, che qua e la lascia intravedere la sottostante tunica di uno intenso blu cobalto, dai lineamenti molto simili alla dolente dalla tunica limone sulla estrema sinistra del “Trasporto di Cristo al sepolcro” conservato nel Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli , ben contrasta con l’austera figura della Madonna dalla luminosa veste violetta, quasi plissettata, con strette maniche dai morbidi risvolti all’altezza dei polsi, volutamente in evidente risalto cromatico tra le abbondanti pieghe dello scuro e digradante manto di gusto fiammingo, dalla classica forma piramidale, che ci riporta bruscamente alla “Madonna tra i Santi” conservata nella prima cappella del Santuario di Santa Maria dei Miracoli e San Celso a Milano, o all’ “Adorazione dei Pastori” e la “Madonna del Velo! conservate nella Pinacoteca di Brera eseguite da Ambrogio da Fossano, meglio conosciuto come il Bergognone.
Giovan Paolo Lomazzo, suo conterraneo, nella sua “Idea del Tempio della Pittura” del 1590 lo colloca tra i “Sette Governatori dell’Arte” accanto a Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raffaello Sanzio, Andrea Mantegna, Tiziano Vecellio e Gaudenzio Ferrari.
Per Giorgio Vasari, mai troppo tenero nel valutare pittori al difuori di Umbria e Toscana, era un genio, inarrivabile nel eseguire ruderi dall’antico, sassi, pietre, macchie d’alberi e paesi e non perché avesse studiato o fatto pratica nelle accademie, ma perché era naturale, nato pittore, dotato da madre natura.
Nella complessità iconografica della composizione di quest’opera, vero capolavoro figurativo dell’arte rinascimentale lombarda ma già permeata delle più ricercate ed originali novità estetiche romane dell’epoca,, proposte dagli amici e quasi coetanei Giulio Romano e Perin del Vaga, si conferma infatti un punto di rottura decisivo con l’insegnamento raffaellesco.
Il moltiplicarsi dei diversi piani di visione con tanti diversi soggetti nello stesso dipinto, creano tanti piccoli quadri nello stesso quadro, con un artificioso e ricercato effetto luministico, dove il chiarore si diffonde prima tenue e poi esplode in fortissimi contrasti chiaroscurali, spesso provenienti da diverse fonti di luce, in una teatralità di effetti pienamente manieristi.
Pietre minuziosamente definite, sassi, rocce, erbette, foglie, verzure, piccoli arbusti, alberelli finissimi eseguiti in punta di pennello , piante lontane, l’edera che si avviluppa lungo le chiare colonne avorio di forma rettangolare dai bianchi capitelli, che terminano con volte spezzate, già consumate e tramutate dal tempo in fascinosi ruderi antichi, ma ancora abbastanza possenti e forti per sopportare il peso di lunghe canne e bastoni incrociati coperti da paglia e fogliame, telaio improvvisato di un umile tetto, da cui traspaiono violenti lampi di luce tra cupe zone d’ombra, sorretto in angolo da una lunga asta verticale, piantata nel terreno con un cuneo di legno conficcato alla sua base, per meglio fissarla.
La cesta abilmente intrecciata, altri ruderi e un paravento forse ligneo dai contorni frastagliati, blocchi di roccia di una scoscesa parete alle spalle di san Giuseppe, i rametti lunghi e sottili pieni di affusolate foglioline delle fascine raccolte sotto il leggero candido drappo su cui è adagiato il luminoso e giocoso Gesù Bambino
Magi eleganti e ben rifiniti, in abiti sfarzosi dai tessuti ricchi e damascati, infilati nei loro splendidi calzari, agghindati con corone, turbanti, spade decorate e fini speroni, con tutti i loro doni in mano, raccolti ed assorti in una intensa conversazione rimirando la stella cometa che li ha condotti, un altro drappello poco lontano di colorate figure vocianti, già più abbozzate e prossime ad un primo declivio, fino ai bagliori lontani del resto della carovana; cavalieri e pedoni, piccole figure eseguite con pennellate molto più sciolte e sfrangiate che, alle pendici di monti e di rocce fantastiche, scoscese, allungate ed oblique come slanciati pennacchi, si apprestano a preparare il bivacco per la nottata.
Mentre nella improvvisata stalla dal forte sapore di antico, in un antro creato ad arte tra le alte colonne romane, il dolce asinello che guarda il Bambino e,, poco sopra, lui, meraviglioso, il bue.
Poco considerato, nascosto e in disparte,, lui da sempre ci sta osservando e ci controlla. guardando negli occhi noi, spettatori curiosi e sconosciuti, posti al i fuori, all'esterno, al di là del quadro..
Ultima invenzione di puro capriccio e stravaganza di un grande pittore lombardo, nella Roma di Leone X e di Raffaello:

Polidoro da Caravaggio (Polidoro Caldara, 1499 Caavaggio - 1543 Messina)
"Nativity with Magi"
Oil on canvas cm 95 x 84
Private Collections
The distant, livid and concentric light of this landscape at dusk executed by Polidoro da Caravaggio, is full of magical atmospheres, where blue and cold lights of Nordic taste, blend with the ashen gloom and silvery glow of the skies of Lombardy, while it is next to the dark embrace of the night.
The soft outlines of gray-blue buildings, houses, dwellings of a distant country, which stand out on the shores of a lake, which enters the coast, pushes, creeps and becomes a swamp, symbol of a life that painstakingly carves out its space, in a hard and difficult territory, are Polidoro's most appropriate responses to the calm classical representations of the master Raphael.
Enchanted stories, timeless poems, disarming and lethal fables, which in their instinctive vagueness, drunk and kidnap the soul of the beholder.
The evident Lombard figurative culture of this "Nativity with Magi" performed by Polidoro Caldara da Caravaggio probably between 1520 and 1525 is as clear as the strong Venetian and Flemish influences.
Raffaello Sanzio and classical culture are seen and revisited with the eyes and brush of a young Lombard who was well trained between Brescia, Bergamo and Milan, in close contact with the works of Vincenzo Foppa, Bernardino Butinone, Bernardo Zenale, Bergognone , Zanetto Bugatto, Leonardo da Vinci, Bramante.
The disarming sweetness of the kneeling Saint Joseph, with a flowered stick in his hands, enveloped in his large lemon yellow cloak with a silky shine, which here and there lets you glimpse the underlying tunic of an intense cobalt blue, with features very similar to the woman in pain with the lemon tunic on the far left of the "Christ Taken to the Tomb", the picture with the transport of Christ to the sepulcher preserved in the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, it contrasts well with the austere figure of the Madonna with a luminous violet robe, almost pleated, with narrow sleeves with soft cuffs, deliberately in evident chromatic prominence among the abundant folds of the dark and sloping Flemish-style mantle, with a classic pyramidal shape, which brings us back to the "Madonna among the Saints" preserved in the first chapel of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and San Celso in Milan, or to the “Adoration of the Shepherds” and the “Madonna del Velo! preserved in the Pinacoteca di Brera executed by Ambrogio da Fossano, better known as the Bergognone.
Giovan Paolo Lomazzo, his countryman, in his "Idea of the Temple of Painting" of 1590 places him among the "Seven Governors of Art" alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raffaello Sanzio, Andrea Mantegna, Tiziano Vecellio and Gaudenzio Ferrari.
For Giorgio Vasari, never too tender in evaluating painters outside of Umbria and Tuscany, he was a genius, unattainable in making ancient ruins, stones, patches of trees and villages and not because he had studied or practiced in academies, but because he was natural, born a painter, gifted by mother nature.
In the iconographic complexity of the composition of this work, a true figurative masterpiece of Lombard Renaissance art but already permeated with the most sought-after and original Roman aesthetic innovations of the time, proposed by friends and almost contemporaries Giulio Romano and Perin del Vaga, it is in fact confirmed a decisive breaking point with Raphael's teaching.
The multiplication of the different planes of vision with many different subjects in the same painting, creates many small paintings in the same painting, with an artificial and refined lighting effect, where the light first spreads faintly and then explodes in very strong chiaroscuro contrasts, often coming from different light sources, in a theatricality of fully mannerist effects.
Julio Baptista para cobar el penal
Un partido abierto con estrellas de varias nacionalidades que en apenas cuarenta y cinco minutos convirtieron once goles de bonita factura. En la primera llegada del equipo de Ronaldinho un pase medido a Junior Baiano (m.2) llegó el primer tanto, que definió por arriba en la salida del "Pato" Abbondanzieri. La presión de los brasileños concretó poco después el segundo tanto de Vampeta (m.5), que colocó en la red de los Amigos de Messi el parcial 2-0.
En la siguiente jugada, el delantero uruguayo Sebastián "Loco" Abreu (m.6), de cabeza, descontó para el equipo de Messi. Ronaldinho Gaúcho (m.11), con una exquisita definición frente al guardameta argentino, aumentó las cifras. Abreu llegó a la red a los 15 minutos, pero el árbitro Horacio Elizondo lo anuló por estar en fuera de juego. Junior Baiano (m.16) y el jugador del Real Madrid Julio Batista (m.18), de penalti, anotaron el parcial 5-1. La reacción de los Amigos de Messi no se hizo esperar, con cuatro tantos consecutivos ante el delirio de los casi 35.000 espectadores.
El primer gol lo puso D'Alessandro
Esta fiesta de goles la inició Andrés D'Alessandro (m.26) antes que un aficionado entrara al terreno de juego para abrazar a Messi. El uruguayo Abreu (m.28), de penalti, D'Alessandro (m 29) y Lionel Messi (m.31), sellaron el parcial 5-5. La presión bajó tras la igualdad aunque Messi (m.34) estrelló un nuevo remate en el poste izquierdo de Pesoña. Al final de primer tiempo, un gran pase de Ronaldinho a Julio Baptista (m.45) para que la figura madridista anotara su segundo tanto de la noche.
Comenzando el segundo tiempo, el venezolano Giancarlo Maldonado casi empata para los Amigos de Messi al estrellar un remate en el travesaño. El ingresado delantero argentino Leandro Lázzaro (m.51) logró el tanto del empate 6-6 y dos minutos más tarde, Ronaldinho (m.53) dio la ventaja para su equipo. Con varios cambios en el partido, junto con el reingreso de Palermo y D'Alessandro, nuevamente Lázzaro (m.60), de cabeza, igualó el encuentro.
Los Amigos de Messi presionaron por la victoria donde los venezolanos Maldonado y Arango, con un tiro libre, tuvieron sendas ocasiones para desequilibrar. Ésta fue la segunda edición después de la celebrada el pasado mes de diciembre en San Luis (Argentina), con victoria de Messi 1-0.

César Eduardo González Amais (Maturin, Venezuela, 1 de octubre de 1982), futbolista venezolano. Apodado "Maestrico", juega de mediocampista y su equipo actual es el Club Atlético Huracán, de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, que milita en Primera División.
César González inició la práctica del fútbol desde muy pequeño cuando sus padres lo incribieron en la escuela de fútbol menor Joaquín Da Silva "Fariñas", donde comenzó a mostrar su talento.
Joaquín Da Silva fue técnico del club de la ciudad, el Monagas SC, y fue este mismo el que lo llevó a jugar en el mencionado club.
Jugó 4 temporadas desde el 2000 hasta 2004 con el Monagas Sport Club, donde mostró un gran juego y así comienzan a llamarle "Maestrico" ya que a su corta edad demostró un gran despliege futbolístico, esto lo lleva a ser visto por el club colombiano Atlético Huila, donde jugó la temporada 2004/2005 y también dio clases de buen fútbol. Esto llamó el interés de unos de los clubes más poderosos del mismo país (Colombia) como lo es el Deportivo Cali para jugar la temporada 2005/2006, en este club el "Maestrico" no tuvo mucha suerte y no vio muchos minutos de acción esto llevó a que regresara a Venezuela con el club capitalino el Caracas FC el cual compró el 50% de su pase para jugar la temporada 2006/2007, donde la mayoría de los venezolanos comenzaron a ver toda su calidad y fue catalogado como el mejor jugador del torneo Clausura. Con el Caracas ganó la Liga Venezolana y jugó la Copa Libertadores de América, donde llegó hasta los octavos de final, marcó dos goles y despertó el interés de varios clubes de América como el Santos FC y el Colón de Santa Fe.

1805. Napoleón domina Europa. Tan sólo Inglaterra se le resiste. Son tiempos de guerras napoleónicas, y ahora los mares y océanos se han convertido en un crucial y estratégico campo de batalla. En el océano Atlántico el navío de guerra inglés Surprise, capitaneado por "Lucky" Jack Aubrey (Crowe), es atacado de repente por un buque de guerra enemigo muy superior a él. Aubrey toma entonces una decisión memorable: a pesar de los graves daños sufridos por el Surprise y su fiel tripulación, entre los que se encuentra el cirujano Stephen Maturin (Bettany), decide navegar, asumiendo serios riesgos, a través de dos mares para interceptar y capturar a su enemigo. Es una misión que puede determinar el destino de una nación o destruir al capitán y a su tripulación, enfrentándose a un corsario mucho mejor armado e implacable, en una persecución por los mares que le lleva al otro lado del mundo.

Mi Obsesión al Igual que la de las personas en la foto es el Caracas Futbol Club (el rojo).... horas de viaje para la ciudad de Maturin para ir a verlo jugar creo que son una prueba de ello. Luego el viaje de regreso de 12 horas (debido a el desborde de un río) para ir directo a la univ, colegios, trabajos,etc lo reafirman... Asi como ir a otro pais y venir con una goleada 4 a 0 pero para luego hacer historia y ganarle a river en argentina y cucuta (de locales)... esta vez el resultado fue adverso pero ahi seguiré
Mi Obsesión: EL ROJO
A donde Sea Te Seguiré y a pesar de todo alentaré!!!

países ha sido algo muy profundo. El Papa es un pastor, es un padre. Nos ha
escuchado atentamente. Habló despacio para que podamos entender".
Marcelo dijo además que el Santo Padre es "es un hombre que ama a suIglesia

Moisés: un niño

Moisés debe tener unos 8 años. Estudia segundo grado en unas de esas
escuelas parroquiales generosas de este país, que se han abierto para
recibir a los que no consiguieron entrar en los grandes planteles o para
aquellos que han botado de otras partes, como es el caso del pequeño
Moisés. Con historia difícil: pobreza, mucha pobreza, y maltrato, mucho
maltrato ,en su casa y en su anterior escuela.
Al comienzo del año escolar, Moisés era casi incontrolable: le daba
cabezazos a los compañeritos, pateaba la puerta del salón, alguna vez mordió
a la coordinadora, imposible pensar en que terminara una actividad
la
maestra Mary estuvo a punto de renunciar.Creo que no sirvo para esto
,comentó uno de esos días en los que había perdido la paciencia ante un
evento violento de Moisés. Pero, no hay duda, santo no es el perfecto ,sino
el pecador terco que se vuelve a levantar, como dijo Mandela alguna vez, y
Mary estaba decidida a levantarse muchas veces.
Las docentes de la pequeña escuela habían iniciado un proceso de Educación
para la Convivencia Pacífica, buscaban reducir la violencia en la escuela.

es nuestro campeón olímpico? Pues les informo que no es así, en Venezuela
tenemos un verdadero campeón merecedor de medalla de oro en varias
categorías: Jean Pierre Wysenbach,sacerdote jesuita, nacido en otros lares,
pero más venezolano que muchos, digno de un reconocimiento nacional.
Les cuento, Wyssen, como sele suele llamar, nació en el país vasco, pero se
vino muy joven a nuestro país:el11 de marzo de1960,recuerda él con
precisión.Ha vivido porlargas décadas en medio de
comunidadespopulares,primero en LaVega Caracas- y desdehace unos años,
tenemos la suerte, la gracia ,la bendición detenerlo en Maturín, con lo
cual su influencia milagrosa llega hasta Guayana.
¡Es todo un personaje! Memoria fotográfica, basta escuchar un dato y queda
impreso en su disco duro para siempre. Da clases de Teología

Cariño de

Al culminar este sábado su encuentro con la clase dirigente de Brasil, el
Papa Francisco recibió el saludo efusivo de diversas personas, especialmente
de las niñas de la escuela de danza del teatro municipal de Río de Janeiro,
una niña con síndrome de Down e indígenas brasileños.
Cuando llegaron las niñas del ballet, luego de darle besos al Papa, lo
rodearon y acompañaron un buen rato, para luego darle paso a cuatro miembros
de una tribu amazónica, uno de los cuales le dio a Francisco su cocar -un
adorno plumas- que el Pontífice no dudó en ponérselo en la cabeza.
Al culminar el acto en el Teatro Municipal, sonaron intensos aplausos y
vítores de Viva el Papa

El Papa Francisco alentó hoy a los obispos, sacerdotes, religiosos y
seminaristas que asistieron a la Misa
de esta mañana en la
Catedral de Río de Janeiro a que ayuden a los jóvenes a redescubrir la
alegría de la fe y promuevan con valentía la cultura del encuentro.
En una mañana que comenzó marcada por la lluvia y el frío pero que poco a
poco fue dando paso al habitual sol de Río de Janeiro, en una catedral
abarrotada con cientos de obispos de todo el mundo, sacerdotes, religiosos y
religiosas, y seminaristas el Santo Padre celebró una Misa cuya homilía
pronunció en español de manera afectuosa y pausada.
El Papa meditó con los presentes en tres puntos concretos: llamados por
Dios, llamados a anunciar el Evangelio y llamados a promover la cultura del
encuentro.
En el primer punto el Papa Francisco señaló que es importante recordar este
hecho que " a menudo damos por descontado entre tantos compromisos
cotidianos". "Tenemos que pedir el don de ser memoriosos, de no ser unos
desmemoriados", exhortó.
El Papa dijo luego que para recordar este llamado de Dios es importante
contemplar y adorar a Cristo en ....

Marcelo Galeano es un argentino que tuvo la bendición de almorzar este
viernes con el Papa Francisco en la residencia de San Joaquín, del Arzobispo
de Río de Janeiro, y señaló que ha sido "un encuentro maravilloso y
distendido" pero sobre todo "una experiencia de Dios".
En conferencia de prensa esta tarde en el Media Center de Copacabana,
Marcelo comentó que al principio todos estaban callados porque "no todos los
días almorzamos con el Papa".
Almorzaron con el Papa jóvenes de Nueva Zelanda, Australia, Portugal,
Francia, México, Estados Unidos, Sri Lanka, Rusia, Colombia, Argentina y dos
muchachos de Brasil
"Ha sido una experiencia de Dios. Ver gente de todos los continentes y
países ha sido algo muy profundo. El Papa es un pastor, es un padre. Nos ha
escuchado atentamente. Habló despacio para que podamos entender".

Es un par de fotografías estereoscópicas que retratan la vida íntima de Julio Bertrand, sus viajes, exploraciones artísticas y su profundo sentido estético.
Julio Bertrand Vidal nació en la ciudad de Iquique, en el norte de Chile, el 16 de octubre del año 1888 y fallece en Santiago de 1918, realizó, en su corta vida, importantes obras de arquitectura y fue miembro fundamental en el principal grupo cultural de la época: Los Diez. Su desconocida faceta como fotógrafo fue rescatada el año 2003 por un proyecto de conservación e investigación liderado por la arquitecta y descendiente del autor, Pelagia Rodríguez. El resultado fue el libro Julio Bertrand Vidal: La mirada recobrada, fotografías, 1905-1918
The Lair of the White Worm. Bram Stoker, London 1911. Illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith
Most famous as the author of the iconic horror novel Dracula, Bram Stoker was born in Marino in Dublin. 'The Lair of the White Worm' is, like Dracula, loosely based on folklore, in this case the English tale of the Lambton Worm. Sinister ladies who tear mongooses apart with their hands and baleful mesmerists also play a part in the story. Stoker did not set any of his sensational tales in Dublin, but his Gothic imagination must have been greatly influenced by his literary forebears, fellow-Dubliners Le Fanu and Maturin. Like most Gothic fiction, the theme of Dracula feeds from previous works, notably Sheridan Le Fanu's vampire novella 'Carmilla'.
