(poesia de Livio Morosini)
San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands of Venice, northern Italy, lying east of the Giudecca and south of the main island group.
The isle is surrounded by Canale della Grazia, Canale della Giudecca, Saint Mark Basin, Canale di San Marco and the southern lagoon. It forms part of the San Marco sestiere.
San Giorgio Maggiore was probably occupied in the Roman period; after the foundation of Venice it was called Insula Memmia after the Memmo family who owned it. By 829 it had a church consecrated to St George; thus it was designated as San Giorgio Maggiore to be distinguished from San Giorgio in Alga.
The San Giorgio Monastery was established in 982, when the Benedictine monk, Giovanni Morosini, asked the doge Tribuno Memmo to donate the whole island for a monastery. Morosini drained the island's marshes next to the church to get the ground for building, and founded the Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore, and became its first abbot.
San Giorgio is now best known for the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, designed by Palladio and begun in 1566. The belltower has a ring of 9 bells in C#.
In the early 19th century, after the Republic fell, the monastery was almost suppressed and the island became a free port with a new harbour built in 1812. It became the home of Venice's artillery.
“Flying” over the church of St. Nicolas Rangavas, on Prytaneiou street, known since the ancient times, in Plaka, the oldest neighborhood of Athens, where one can admire unique buildings from various historical periods.
Built in the second half of the 11th century, near the well-known to my followers Anafiotika “Athenian Island” neighborhood , the church was part of the estate of the Rangavas family. The name Rangavas is inscribed on a small column that was found in the dome. It is possible that there is a relation of Leon Ragavas with the family of the Byzantine Emperor Michael I Rangabe (811-813).
The history of the church is turbulent, since in 1687, during the siege of the Acropolis by the Venetian Morosini, part of the monument was destroyed by a cannon ball. The church was repaired in the 18th c. and restored again in the 1970s. As with most of the Athenian churches, Agios Nikolaos Rangavas has seen a lot of architectural interventions. Among others, the chapel of Agia Paraskevi was added to the south side. From the Byzantine period the northern side and the dome of the church still survive. Like other older churches of Athens, it incorporates ancient marble columns and other remains of ancient buildings in its external walls.
The church of Agios Nikolaos was the first to receive a bell in Athens after the War of Independence (1821). This bell, which is now kept inside the church, was the first to ring out after the city's liberation from the German occupation, on October 12, 1944.
Castello one of the six sestieri of Venice, Veneto, Italy.
The name Castello derives from fortifications located in the island of Olivolo, today the island of San Pietro di Castello, in the High Middle Ages.
There is the Basilica of San Pietro de Castello, the episcopal seat until 1807, the year of the transfer of the bishopric by Napoleon to the Basilica of San Marco, which until then had been the Doge's chapel used only for special occasions.
The Sestier de Castello is the most oriental of the city. It is divided in two by the imposing extent of land and water contained in the Arsenal, an old industrial engine and military-industrial complex serving the maritime power of the Serenissima.
Placed on the margins of the political center, Saint-Marc, and of the commercial center (Rialto) of the city, the Sestier always lived mainly on the activity of the Arsenal and on the maintenance and supplying needs of the ships; an activity that did not survive in the middle of the twentieth century when the technological development of production structures contributed to making this complex. inadequate.
The devastation and damage to the churches, convents and other buildings of the tip of Sant'Antonio and its surroundings in the nineteenth century led to the realization of the current public gardens and the realization of the Biennial of Art between 1894 and 1987.
The Pier Luigi Penzo Sports Stadium, the Francesco Morosini Naval Academy, and the urban area erected between 1924 and 1928 were built in the zone from the improvement of the lais around the small monastic island of Sant'Elena.
In the Venetian Age, from the 13th to the 17th centuries, Ierapetra - now known by its present name - became prosperous again. The Fortress of Kales, built in the early years of Venetian rule and strengthened by Francesco Morosini in 1626 to protect the harbor, is a remnant of this period, although local myth says it was built by the Genoese pirate Pescatore in 1212.

Socrates was imprisoned here. There was artillery commander Francesco Morosini. The cannons of the Venetian army destroyed much of the Parthenon for the whole period of its existence. The explosive blew up right in the middle of the Parthenon, where once stood the statue of the goddess Athena.
The Venetians were not barbarians. They realized that destroying something incredibly valuable. But the Turks have had a fortification that could not otherwise be beat. History repeats. Islam is not a religion, it is evil! From Athens House!
---------------------------------
Zde byl vězněn Sokrates. Zde byla děla vojevůdce Francesca Morosiniho. Tato děla benátské armády nejvíce poničila Parthenon za celou dobu jeho existence. Trhavina vybuchla přesně uprostřed Parthenonu, tam kde stála kdysi socha Bohyně Atheny.
Benátčané nebyli barbaři. Uvědomovali si, že ničí něco neskutečně cenného. Jenže Turci tu měli opevnění, které nešlo jinak zdolat. Historie se opakuje. Islám není náboženství. Je to zlo! Z Atén House!

A Venezia le piazze si chiamano Campi.
Campo Santo Stefano o Campo Morosini è uno dei campi più vasti della città: si trova nel sestiere di San Marco, poco distante tante dal Ponte dell’Accademia.
Al centro del Campo si erge la statua dello scrittore Niccolò Tommaseo: vari caffè si affacciano tutt'attorno, con i loro tavolini all'aperto, rendendolo un luogo vivace anche nelle giornate invernali.

Caffé Florian Venize Italy
El Caffé Florian simplemente abrió con dos habitaciones el 29 de diciembre de 1720 como Caffè alla Venecia trionfante (el Café de la triunfante Venecia), pero pronto se hizo conocido como Caffè Florian, después de su propietario original Floriano Francesconi. El entorno elegante atrajo a muchos personajes notables del día, incluido el dramaturgo Carlo Goldoni, Goethe y Casanova, que fue, sin duda, atraídos por el hecho de que el Caffè Florian es el único café que se permitió entrar a las mujeres y, más tarde, Lord Byron, Marcel Proust, y Charles Dickens eran frecuentes visitantes. Fue uno de los pocos lugares donde Gasparo Gozzi lanzó el periódico Gazzetta Veneta dónde se podía comprar, y se convirtió en un lugar de encuentro para personas de diferentes clases sociales. A mediados del siglo 18 el Florian fue ampliado a cuatro habitaciones.
Valentino Francesconi, el nieto de Floriano Francesconi, se hizo cargo del negocio a principios del siglo 19, y que la transmite a su hijo Antonio, pero por 1858, el establecimiento pasó a manos manos de Vicenzo Porta, Giovanni Pardelli, y Pietro Baccanello, y estaba en la necesidad restauración. Lodovico Cadorin se encargó de llevar a cabo trabajos de restauración y redecorar los interiores, pero la opinión pública presionó sobre el gasto, porque era una institución. Sin embargo, los interiores de las habitaciones fueron renovadas en el opulento esplendor y rebautizado con los nombres por los que se conoce todavía hoy. La Sala degli Uomini Illustri (Sala de los Hombres Ilustres) figuran pinturas de Giulio Carlini de diez notables venecianos: Goldoni, Marco Polo, Tiziano, Francesco Morosini, Pietro Orseolo, Andrea Palladio, Benedetto Marcello, Paolo Sarpi, Vettor Pisani y Enrico Dandolo. En la Sala del Senado (Senado Hall) las paredes están decoradas con paneles que representan escenas del mundo de las artes y las ciencias por la Casa con el tema "el progreso y la civilización, instruyendo las Naciones". La Sala Cinese (Salón Chino) y la Sala Oriental (Salón Oriental) toman su inspiración en el Lejano Oriente con pinturas de los amantes y escasamente vestidos exóticos mujeres pintadas por Pascuti. La Sala delle Stagioni (Salón de las Temporadas) o degli Specchi Venta (Salón de los Espejos) fue condecorado por Rota, con las cifras de mujeres que representan las cuatro estaciones. La Sala de Libertad que se añadió a principios del siglo 20 está decorado con espejos pintados a mano y suntuosas wainscotting de madera.
The Florian opened with two simply furnished rooms on 29 December 1720 as Caffè alla Venezia trionfante (the Café of the Triumphant Venice), but soon became known as Caffè Florian, after its original owner Floriano Francesconi. The elegant surroundings attracted many of the notables of the day including the playwright Carlo Goldoni, Goethe and Casanova, who was no doubt attracted by the fact that Caffè Florian was the only coffee house that allowed women, and later Lord Byron, Marcel Proust, and Charles Dickens were frequent visitors. It was one of the few places where Gasparo Gozzi's early newspaper Gazzetta Veneta could be bought, and became a meeting place for people from different social classes. In the mid-18th century the Florian expanded to four rooms.
Valentino Francesconi, the grandson of Floriano Francesconi, took over the business at the beginning of the 19th century, and passed it on to his son Antonio, but by 1858, the establishment hand passed into the hands of Vicenzo Porta, Giovanni Pardelli, and Pietro Baccanello, and was in need of some restoration. Lodovico Cadorin was commissioned to carry out restoration work and redecorate the interiors, but there was public outcry over the expense and because he was tampering with a much loved institution. However the work pressed on, and the interiors of the rooms were redecorated in opulent splendour and rebaptised with the names by which they are still known today. The Sala degli Uomini Illustri (Hall of the Illustrious Men) featured paintings by Giulio Carlini of ten notable Venetians: Goldoni, Marco Polo, Titian, Francesco Morosini, Pietro Orseolo, Andrea Palladio, Benedetto Marcello, Paolo Sarpi, Vettor Pisani and Enrico Dandolo. In the Sala del Senato (Senate Hall) the walls are decorated with panels depicting scenes from the worlds of the arts and sciences by Casa with the theme "Progress and Civilisation instructing the Nations". The Sala Cinese (Chinese Hall) and Sala Orientale (Oriental Hall) take their inspiration from the Far East with paintings of lovers and scantily clad exotic women painted by Pascuti. The Sala delle Stagioni (Hall of the Seasons) or Sale degli Specchi (Hall of Mirrors) was decorated by Rota with the figures of women representing the four seasons. The Sala Liberty which was added at the beginning of the 20th century is decorated with hand-painted mirrors and sumptuous wooden wainscotting.

"IL GIARDINO DELLE CULTURE" (The garden of cultures)
From abandoned urban fragment to a Cultural garden
The recovery of via Morosini area was born from the Municipality will to guarantee the enjoyment of the abandoned areas by the citizens. The public area has been recovered and tranformed into a collective resource. This is the city understood as common good.
The “Giardino delle Culture” is a project by citizens organized in an association and by a private donor with the purpose to give to the community a place for cultural activities.
The “Giardino delle Culture” is today a new place of the city which art, music, theatre, cinema, games and sport can take place in this place in a continuous laboratory of life, thought and meeting.
This initiative has been possible thanks to the financial controbution by Lino Faccincani, who financing this work wished to promote actions destined to the young generations in memory of his mother Elena Fiore Bizzarro (July, 5, 1903- May, 27, 1941) died when he was a little child.
