This was taken back in '09 (even though flickr says otherwise) when I went to Europe with my school. This was at the docks in Veneto going to take the boat to Venice. The picture would have been better but I had a really bad camera :S

At least I think it’s her. It could be Close-up, but judging by her outfit I’m going with Via.

Malcesine is a comune (municipality) on the eastern shore of Lake Garda in the Province of Verona in the Italian region Veneto, located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) northwest of Venice and about 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of Verona.

 

Geography and divisions

 

The comune of Malcesine consists of (from north to south) Navene, Campagnola, Malcesine proper, Val di Sogno and Cassone. It stretches along the Via Gardesana Orientale (Strada Statale 249) and is nestled between Lake Garda and the slopes of Monte Baldo. Malcesine is the northernmost comune on the Veneto shore of the lake, immediately to its north lies Trentino Alto Adige.

 

Two of the largest islands of Lake Garda are located in Malcesine: The Isola di sogno and the Isola dell'olivo (or Isola degli olivi).

 

History

 

The first recorded inhabitants of the area were Etruscans dating to around 500 BC. After 15 BC, with Tiberius' victory over the Rhaetians, the area came under the control of the Roman Empire. After the fall of Rome, the area was ruled in turn by Ostrogoths, Alemanni and then the Langobards.

 

Between the 5th and 6th centuries the Langobards built a castle on the rock where the Castello Scaligero stands today. It was destroyed in 590 by the Franks. They subsequently rebuilt it and in 806 hosted King Pepin. After attacks by Hungarians the castle became part of the holdings of the Bishop of Verona. In 1277, the castle fell to Alberto della Scala and until 1387 remained in the possession of the della Scala family, whose name it still bears. Over the next centuries, castle and town were ruled in succession by the Visconti of Milan (until 1403) and the Republic of Venice (1405-1797). The control of Venice was only interrupted by a brief period (1506–16), when the area was under Imperial rule during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I.

 

In 1797-98, the area was occupied by the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte after which the Veneto became part of the Austrian Empire. In 1866, Malcesine became part of the Kingdom of Italy.

 

Origins of the name

 

The first appearance of the toponym dates back to 9 September 844, when the term Manessicelles results in the testament of the Archdeacon Pacific with the meaning, according to Borsatti, of the tombs of the dead: this meaning would be corroborated by the discovery of some Etruscan-style burials in the surroundings up area. Over the centuries there are many documentary variants: Manascicines (932), Malesicine (1023), Malesisicis (1154), Malesisinum (1159), Malasilice (1225), Malsexeno (1422), Malsesene (1611) to name but a few of the Maffezzoli. The etymology of the toponym is however uncertain, revolving around the interpretation of Malae silices or Mala silex as "Stone hostile" or "Bad stone", probably referring to the morphology of the territory characterized by steep mountains rising on the lake, or as " Bad paved road "of Roman origin.

Malcesine ist eine norditalienische Gemeinde am Ostufer des Gardasees in der Provinz Verona mit 3689 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2019).

 

Malcesine wird häufig als „Perle des Gardasees“ bezeichnet. Mit diesem Begriff werden jedoch oft auch andere Orte wie Riva del Garda oder Limone sul Garda in Verbindung gebracht. Der Ort ist stark vom Tourismus geprägt.

 

Neben den Orten Riva del Garda und Nago-Torbole ist Malcesine im Norden des Gardasees bei Windsurfern, Kitesurfern und Seglern aufgrund ihrer Lage teilweise noch für den Einstieg bei den beiden Hauptwinden des nördlichen Gardasees Pelér und Ora beliebt. Von Malcesine aus führt eine Seilbahn zu der auf 1760 Meter gelegenen Bergstation am Passo Tratto Spino im Monte-Baldo-Massiv.

 

Zur Gemeinde Malcesine (Gemeindesitz) gehören noch die zwei Fraktionen Cassone und Navene.

 

Geschichte

 

Der alte Ort ist um den Burgfelsen entstanden. Ein erster Burgbau fand hier um 568 unter den Langobarden statt. Nach der Zerstörung dieser Anlage und Wiederaufbau durch die Franken kam der Ort später an die Scaliger, welche die Burganlage erweiterten. Aus der ersten Zeit stammt noch der Porto Posterno („Hinterer Hafen“), eine als kleiner Strand (Spiagetta) genutzte Bucht direkt unterhalb der Burg♁⊙. Unweit davon, am Ende der Via Posterna, steht ein in den Felsen unter der Burg gebautes Haus, das ein privates Wohnhaus ist, aber vormals vermutlich das Wachpersonal beherbergte, das den Aufgang vom Hafen zur Burg bewachte.

Dintorni di Revine Lago, Veneto,

Plaza San Marcos tras la marea alta

Pelas estradas da vida

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Vamos vivendo momentos

Passando por paisagens

Que são plantadas nos sentimentos.

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Vamos colhendo pelos caminhos

Flores perfumadas e lindas

Porem, com vários espinhos.

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Vamos deixando partes de nós

Nesta extensa e longa jornada

Vamos desatando nós

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Em vários momentos descansamos

Às vezes estamos animados

Em outros desanimamos

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Vamos dia a dia aprendendo

Por meio de tantos acontecimentos

Que vão se sucedendo.

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Vamos construindo amizades

Pessoas que entram em nossa história

Completando-nos com suas verdades.

 

Pelas estradas da vida

Tantas cenas vemos da humanidade

Que nos alegra ou revolta

Porem são paisagens da realidade

Once the place where everyone went, Via Veneto was now deserted, though Rome was full of tourists.

The door on the right was the entrance to the Piccadilly Night Club in Le Notti di Cabiria. The movie star that Cabiria meets brings her here.

This corner is a filming location from Fellini's Le Notti di Cabiria. In the scene, Cabiria is dropped off at the corner & she walks in the direction I'm facing. The camera is looking back to where I'm standing.

Madonna dell’Angelo on the breakwater wall

Asolo, Veneto, Italy

Marostica. La cittadina, e la sua piazza, sono famose per la partita a scacchi (interpretati da persone), che vi si svolge dal 1923 ogni due anni (il secondo week-end di settembre degli anni pari). Sulla piazza si affaccia da un lato il Castello Inferiore (voluto da Cangrande I della Scala, signore di Verona) e dall’altro Palazzo Doglione.

L'alba del giorno dopo a Venezia, maree da record storico quelle che stanno mettendo in ginocchio la citta' lagunare in questi giorni. Seconda soltanto ai 194 centimetri raggiunti con l'alluvione del 1966, dal 1872, anno di inizio delle rilevazioni, non si erano mai verificate due maree superiori ai 150 centimetri nello stesso anno. Questa volta invece si sono verificate nella stessa settimana: martedì il picco a 187 centimetri e oggi 154.Anche i litorali Veneti hanno subito molti danni causati dal maltempo.
