The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Marcel Raitre of Rouen.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.

Martedì 19 dicembre, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano si terrà il Concerto d’Addio di Elio e le Storie Tese. Sul palco: Elio (voce), Faso (basso), Cesareo (chitarra), Christian Meyer (batteria), Jantoman (tastiere), Vittorio Cosma (tastiere), Paola Folli (voce) e Mangoni (artista a sé).
«Sarà mica allora che quello del 19 dicembre 2017 al Mediolanum Forum di Assago non è il Concerto d’Addio degli EelST? Sì, e no – afferma la band - Sì: il concerto di domani è davvero il Concerto d’Addio degli EelST. Sarà una grande festa, quasi tre ore di musica, con una scaletta costruita a partire dalle preferenze espresse dai fan, che hanno votato le canzoni sulla pagina Facebook della band. No: non sarà l’ultimissimo concerto degli EelST».
Elio e le Storie Tese saranno in gara con il brano “Arrivedorci” al 68° Festival di Sanremo, il loro quarto e ultimo festival della canzone italiana. Commentano: «Perché, se si sciolgono veramente, vanno in gara al Festival di Sanremo? Per vari motivi. Intanto perché Claudio Baglioni li ha invitati a presentare una canzone. E se gli EelST gliel’hanno mandata è perché, dopo due piazzamenti al secondo posto (1996; 2013) e una rispettabile ma non abbastanza dodicesima posizione nel 2015, si sono voluti regalare un ultimo tentativo di raggiungere l’obiettivo di sempre: arrivare penultimi al Festival di Sanremo. L’inedita “Arrivedorci” è piaciuta. Il percorso verso il diciannovesimo posto è ufficialmente iniziato».
Dal 20 aprile saranno in tour in tutta Italia con il Tour d’Addio, per raggiungere tutti i fan che non sono riusciti a partecipare al Concerto d’Addio.
Raccontano: «Dopo avere preso atto di quanti avrebbero voluto, ma non hanno potuto, raggiungere Milano per partecipare alla festa al Mediolanum Forum, gli EelST hanno accettato la proposta di organizzare un altro giro di concerti. Un Tour d’Addio, che sarà però “a scadenza”: da consumarsi entro e non oltre il 30 giugno 2018. Con una sorpresa per i fan: il biglietto del concerto del Mediolanum Forum di Assago si potrà riutilizzare per ascoltare gli EelST quando il Tour passerà nella propria città».
Stefano Belisari alias Elio - voce, flauto traverso, chitarra elettrica

Antonello Aguzzi alias Jantoman, Santoman, Inumano, Uomo - tastiera, cori, chitarra acustica.
Vittorio Cosma alias Clayderman Viganò, Carmelo, Don Vittorino - tastiera, cori, chitarra

from the Lalala Ressonance shoot out
I wrote an article on carp flies for the Fall 2010 issue of Hatches Magazine. This is the first two pages- all photos taken by me.
It is ironic when you try to escape your destiny and in your escape you encounter it. As old as civilization, mankind has always feared this fate: "Is there such a thing called Destiny?" and if the answer is "yes" do we possess the power to change it. In its simplicity this theme becomes epic. From Sophocles to the Wachowski Brothers the "hero" has always tried to be stronger than his destiny. I tried to mix all these epic ancient questions with a dark texture, typical of noir cinema in the first half of XX century.
But in the end, one critical question remains: Would it have really happened if we didn´t know it?

Tre nuovi coach, Dolcenera, Emis KiIIa, Max Pezzali, e il grande ritorno di Raffaella Carrà per la quarta edizione dell’evento televisivo che premia la Voce. Da mercoledi 24 febbraio in prima serata su Rai2. Conduce Federico Russo.
Il ritorno della “signora” della Tv e tre nuovi coach - ciascuno con il proprio “marchio”, dal rap al pop - a caccia cli talenti: Raffaella Carrà, Dolcenera, Emis Killa e Max Pezzali. Saranno loro, da mercoledi 24 febbraio in prima serata su Rai2, a occupare le quattro poltrone rosse cli “The Voice of Italy”. Quattordici puntate per tornare alla ricerca cli talenti, partendo solo dalla voce. A condurre questa quarta edizione ci sarà ancora Federico Russo, mentre nei panni della V-Reporter sarà Angelina che mostrerà i retroscena e le curiosità, e interagirà con il pubblico da casa attraverso il sito ufficiale www.thevoiceofitaly.rai.it e i social network di “The Voice of Italy”. Il programma, inoltre, sarà seguito in diretta anche da Radio2 Rai con “The Voice of Radio2”.
Oltre i quattro coach, novità anche nello svolgimento delle quattro fasi della gara, durante la quale i talenti si esibiranno dal vivo con un’orchestra che eseguirà la grande musica italiana e internazionale. Le Blind Audition, le audizioni durante le quali i Coach non possono vedere il talento, passeranno da cinque a sei, mentre per le due Battle: i Coach dovranno scegliere tre componenti della propria squadra anziché due, e solo uno accederà alla fase successiva. Anche in questa edizione, inoltre, sarà valida l’opzione Steal, grazie alla quale i cantanti eliminati da un Coach, potranno essere recuperati da un altro. Seguirà la fase dei due Knockout, durante la quale i talenti si sfideranno con il loro cavallo di battaglia. Si arriverà cosî alla parte finale e più attesa dello show con i quattro Live, che decreteranno il vincitore cli “The Voice of Italy".
“The Voice Of Italy” è un programma realizzato da Rai2 in collaborazione con Talpa Italia, negli studi del Centro di Produzione Tv Rai in via Mecenate a Milano.

Nino D’Angelo festeggia i suoi 60 anni (compiuti il 21 giugno) con uno show-evento “Il Concerto 6.0” il 24 giugno allo Stadio San Paolo di Napoli.
“Avrei dovuto fare un live in ogni vicolo di Napoli, o nel quartiere dove sono nato e cresciuto, per ringraziare il pubblico che mi segue da sempre”
Uno spettacolo in cui Nino D’Angelo ripercorrerà una straordinaria carriera tra musica, cinema e teatro, che ha fatto di Nino uno degli artisti più amati e di riferimento per le generazioni successive d’interpreti. “Mi piacerebbe che fosse una grande festa popolare, verace, dove divertirci tutti insieme, con un concerto ricco di canzoni che mi hanno visto crescere, a cominciare da quelle degli anni Ottanta”.
Il palco sarà allestito in quella Curva B tanto cara a Nino, protagonista in uno dei suoi film più amati. “Ho scelto lo stadio San Paolo perché per questo compleanno ho sentito l’esigenza di avere uno spazio grande, comunque un simbolo della città. Avrei dovuto fare un live in ogni vicolo di Napoli, o nel quartiere dove sono nato e cresciuto, per ringraziare il pubblico che mi segue da tanti anni ormai. Da qui la scelta dello stadio, senza dimenticare che io sono sempre “quel ragazzo della Curva B””.
Un concerto, questo, dove Nino D’Angelo proporrà, accompagnato dal suo gruppo musicale, i successi di una carriera lunga più di 40 anni e che da “San Pietro a Patierno” lo ha portato a essere uno degli artisti più apprezzati da pubblico e critica. Uno show dove le hit degli anni ’80 (“Nu jeans e na maglietta”, “Maledetto treno”, “Sotto ‘e stelle”) e degli anni ’90 (“Mentecuore”, “Nun te pozzo perdere”, “Carezza luntana”) si sposeranno con le canzoni degli anni successivi che hanno visto Nino maturare artisticamente, fino alla “svolta” sociale, etnica, cosi definita dalla critica (“Senza giacca e cravatta”, “Jammo ja’”, “Jesce sole”).
Sul palco si avvicenderanno tanti amici e colleghi che, in molti casi, duetteranno con Nino. Tra i primi nomi annunciati, Clementino, Gigi Finizio, Enzo Gragnaniello, Rocco Hunt, Maria Nazionale, Raiz, Sal Da Vinci, James Senese, Fortunato Cellino, Brunella Selo, Franco Ricciardi, Daniele Sanzone, Luchè e tanti altri ospiti...
“Il Concerto 6.0” è l’avvio di un progetto che proseguirà per tutto il 2017, culminando presto in un triplo cd che conterrà il dvd dello show al San Paolo; un disco di inediti; e uno con i maggiori “insuccessi di Nino D’Angelo” (come ama definirli l'artista). L’opera si chiamerà “Nino D’Angelo 6.0” e uscirà tra settembre e ottobre.
