Este puente une la Siracusa más moderna con la isla de ortigia (la antigua Siracusa).
”La mole negra
del buque, avanza.
Se abren en silencio
los valles de agua.
Ojos fosforescentes
asoman a los pozos de las aguas:
¿Sirenas en hileras,
hacen, acaso, guardia?
Única voz del mar,
una cadena, roe la planchada.
Un fantasma blanco,
sobre el puente, comanda”
Marcha en silencio -- Alfonsina Storni
Jazz-al-dia V.-
È sera, ed è tempo che i fiori chiudano le loro corolle. Lascia che mi sieda al tuo fianco e comanda alle mie labbra di fare ciò che si può fare in silenzio nella debole luce delle stelle.
(Rabindranath Tagore)
It is evening, and it is time for the flowers to close their corollas. Let me sit by your side and command my lips to do what can be done silently in the faint starlight.
(Rabindranath Tagore)

Begís (l'Alt Palància) País Valencià ////
Se situa en la vessant NE de la serra d'Andilla, a 800 m d'altitud, el terme està solcat pels rius Palància i Canales i compta amb els cims de La Juliana (1.476 m), La Pericona (1.468 m) entre d'altres. Hi ha paratges que paga la pena conèixer com la ja esmentada Font de los Cloticos, el barranc d'Agualobos o el naixement del Palància, i, sobretot Peñaescabia (1.331 m) declarat Paratge Natural Municipal el 26 de novembre de 2004. La flora i la fauna mediterrànies està representada amb l'esquirol, la rabosa, el porc senglar, l'àliga real, el pi, el teix, l'àlber i gran varietat de plantes aromàtiques i medicinals.
D'origen romà (així ho testifica el seu aqüeducte), encara que es troben deixalles dels ibers en la mateixa localitat. Poblada per musulmans, fou conquerida per Jaume I (1208-1276) el 1228-1229. Aqueix mateix any Pere Fernández d'Azagra s'apoderava del seu castell i la seua terra per a revertir-la a la Corona al mateix temps que la sotmetia al bisbat de Sogorb. Aquest mateix rei atorgà, el 1235, el castell de Begís i les seves terres a l'orde de Calatrava, en poder de la qual va romandre, amb el títol de comanda i vot en Corts. El 18 d'agost del 1276 Roi Pérez, comanador major d'Alcanyís, concedí carta de població, a fur de València, a 110 homes. No sabem més fins al 1838 que, amb motiu de les guerres carlines, fou ocupada la vila per ells i assetjada dues vegades pel general Azpiroz. Durant el regnat d'Isabel II (1830-1904) va ser senyor el duc de Montpensier, infant Francesc de Paula.

L'antic monestir de Sant Salvador d'Horta es troba a llevant d'Horta de Sant Joan, als peus de la Muntanya de Santa Bàrbara. Tres sants per a un sol lloc.
De fet el seu nom original fou Mª de Deu dels Àngels, però es coneix actualment com Sant Salvador d'Horta, per l'estada que hi feu aquest religiós, posteriorment santificat.
De tota manera, tot i que el convent franciscà data del 1542, l'església és gòtica, molt anterior, i sembla que era una part important de la comanda templera que dominava el territori d'Horta.
Va patir diversos saquejos i fou definitivament abandonat amb l'exclaustració del 1835.

This is the old convent of Sant Salvador d'Horta at the feet of the Muntanya de Santa Bàrbara, near Horta de Sant Joan. Three saints for this place.
This convent, established as a franciscan congregation in 1542, was known early on as Mare de Déu dels Àngels, but changed to Sant Salvador d'Horta after this (later) saint lived here for a while. The church is gothic, so it's much older than the convent itself, probably built by the Knights Templar, who ruled this area in the Middle Ages.
It was sacked several times, and abandoned definitively in 1835.

🇬🇧 This is the moment when the balloon truly begins to breathe. Bent backs, raised arms, eyes fixed upward as the canvas slowly fills and gains weight, volume, presence. What fascinates me here is the mix of generations and postures: boys, men, jackets, sweaters, hands gripping fabric with the same instinctive care. No one gives orders, yet everyone knows what to do.
I wanted to capture that fragile balance between effort and trust — the instant when the balloon is still earthbound, but already asking to become sky.
🇮🇹 Questo è l’istante in cui il pallone comincia davvero a respirare. Schiene piegate, braccia sollevate, sguardi rivolti verso l’alto mentre la tela prende aria, peso, forma. Quello che mi affascina è il miscuglio di età e di gesti: ragazzi e uomini, giacche e maglioni, mani che afferrano la stoffa con la stessa attenzione istintiva. Nessuno comanda, eppure tutti sanno cosa fare.
Ho voluto fermare questo equilibrio delicato tra fatica e fiducia — il momento in cui il pallone è ancora legato alla terra, ma sta già chiedendo il cielo.

Entre les moltes fortificacions que cobreixen l'illa de Malta i el seu gran port en particular, destaca una de relativament petita però amb una singularitat: el canó d'avancarrega més gran del món. En efecte, tot el Fort Rinella fou construit entorn aquesta peça d'artilleria massiva.
El canó en questió és un Armstrong 100-ton Gun, un dels dos que queden al món (l'altre és a Gibraltar), la historia dels quals és peculiar. Aquesta bestia pesava 103 tones i tenia un calibre de 450mm. Es carregava per davant i emprava encara polvora negra; disparava un projectil de 910 quilos a 6 quilometres.
D'aquest tipus de canó s'en fabricaren només 15, el 1877. De fet, la comanda inicial de 8 fou per a la marina italiana, que els montà als cuirassats Duilio i Dandolo. Però aleshores el govern britanic va temer que es fessin servir per envair, precisament, Malta. Aleshores es decidí enviar-ne dos a Malta i dos més a Gibraltar, per a montar en bateries de costa. A Malta es construiren precisament Fort Rinella a l'est i Fort Cambridge a l'oest de La Valetta.
Els forts serviren entre 1884 i 1906, en que quedaren obsolets. Mai foren usats en combat. Nomes dispararen en exercicis, però aleshores sembla que el retruny es podia sentir des de Sicilia i tot!
Un cop fora de servei, fou convertit en magatzem militar fins que als anys 90 del s. XX es restaurà i obrí com a museu. Fins hi tot s'hi pot disparar un fusell Martini-Henry de l'època (només en fogueig).

Among the many fortifications that cover the island of Malta and its large port in particular, one stands out, a relatively small but with a singularity: the largest muzzle-loading cannon in the world. In fact, the entire Fort Rinella was built around this massive artillery piece.
The cannon in question is an Armstrong 100-ton Gun, one of two remaining in the world (the other is in Gibraltar), whose history is peculiar. This beast weighed 103 tons and had a caliber of 450mm. It was front-loaded and also used black powder; it fired a 910-kilogram projectile at 6 kilometers.
Only 15 of this type of cannon were manufactured, in 1877 in Britain. In fact, the initial order for 8 was for the Italian navy, which mounted them on the battleships Duilio and Dandolo. But at the time the British government feared that they would be used to invade, precisely, Malta. It was then decided to send two to Malta and two more to Gibraltar, to be mounted in coastal batteries. In Malta, Fort Rinella was built to the east and Fort Cambridge to the west of Valletta.
The forts were in service between 1884 and 1906, when they became obsolete. They were never used in combat. They were only fired in exercises, but back then the sound could be heard all the way to Sicily!
Once out of service, it was converted into a military warehouse until the 1990s when it was restored and opened as a museum. You can even shoot a Martini-Henry rifle from the time (only blank fire).

Durant la segona meitat del segle XII els hospitalers van rebre en donació les propietats de Puigpelat i l’Hospitalet situades a l’actual terme de Puigpelat, lloc on aquell orde hi va instituir una comanda. La primera notícia indirecta de l’existència de la casa hospitalera de Vallmoll és del 1184 i el primer document explícit, on hi consta el nom del comanador, Pere de Cirera, porta data del 1205. A l’Hospitalet es va aixecar una capella i la casa de la comanda, tot de proporcions modestes, mentre que d’altra banda es va anar formant la vila i fortalesa de Puigpelat, amb les seves pròpies defenses i com a lloc de refugi en cas de necessitat. Les terres dels hospitalers estaven dintre del terme de la baronia de Vallmoll i la seva situació jurídica era confusa, el que va desencadenar una llarga sèrie de conflictes i litigis entre les dues institucions per qüestions senyorials i jurisdiccionals. A banda de registrar-se tota mena de batusses entre els comanadors de Puigpelat i els batlles Vallmoll, hom troba també episodis més greus i violents: el 1298 la milícia del baró de Vallmoll va entrar a Puigpelat empresonant alguns vilatans, fet que es va repetir en diverses ocasions, mantenint-se fins entrat el segle XVIII, quan la jurisdicció criminal va passar a mans reials. A començament del segle XV la situació econòmica de la comanda era molt precària, una crisi generalitzada va comportar la decadència de moltes cases hospitaleres i obligar la seva reorganització. La comanda de Vallmoll fou unida a la preceptoria de Selma i la seva seu es va traslladar a aquest darrer lloc prenent el nom de comanda de Selma i Vallmoll, però la solució no va ser prou efectiva i la situació econòmica no va millorar, a començament del segle XVI les cases amenaçaven ruïna i els camps s’havien abandonat. Els hospitalers van mantenir però la capella de l’Hospitalet que va quedar a càrrec d’un ermità. La devoció a la Mare de Déu de la Llet va continuar, convertint-se en un santuari que va tenir presència a l’Hospitalet fins l’any 1920, quan es va enderrocar totalment. Actualment una capelleta vora el camí recorda l’indret.

São Miguel das Missões - Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil
O Sítio Arqueológico de São Miguel Arcanjo é um conjunto de ruínas da antiga redução de São Miguel Arcanjo, integrante dos chamados Sete Povos das Missões, e um dos principais vestígios do período das Missões Jesuíticas dos Guarani em todo o mundo, localizado no pequeno município de São Miguel das Missões, no Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil.
A construção foi edificada no século XVIII, entre 1735 e 1745.
Guerra Guaranítica é o nome que se dá aos violentos conflitos que envolvem os índios guaranis e as tropas espanholas e portuguesas no sul do Brasil após a assinatura do Tratado de Madri, em 1750. Os índios guaranis da região dos Sete Povos das Missões recusam-se a deixar suas terras no território do Rio Grande do Sul e a se transferir para o outro lado do rio Uruguai, conforme ficara acertado no acordo de limites entre Portugal e Espanha.
Com o apoio parcial dos jesuítas, no início de 1753 os índios guaranis missioneiros começam a impedir os trabalhos de demarcação da fronteira e anunciam a decisão de não sair da região dos Sete Povos. Em resposta, as autoridades enviam tropas contra os nativos, e a guerra eclode em 1754. Os castelhanos, vindos de Buenos Aires e Montevidéu, atacam pelo sul, e os portugueses, enviados do Rio de Janeiro sob o comando do general Gomes Freire, entram pelo rio Jacuí. Juntando depois as tropas na fronteira com o Uruguai, os dois exércitos sobem e atacam frontalmente os batalhões indígenas, dominando Sete Povos em maio de 1756. Chega ao fim a resistência guarani.
Um dos principais líderes guaranis é o capitão Sepé Tiaraju. Ele justifica a resistência ao tratado em nome de direito legítimo dos índios em permanecer nas suas terras. Comanda milhares de nativos até ser assassinado na Batalha de Caiboaté, em fevereiro de 1756.
São Miguel das Missões (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɐ̃w̃ miˈgɛw das misˈõȷ̃s]) (Portuguese for St. Michael of the Missions) is a Unesco World Heritage site located in the small town of São Miguel das Missões in the northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul, a state in southern Brazil. It is also known as São Miguel Arcanjo and by its Spanish language name San Miguel. It was one of the many Spanish Jesuit Reductions in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. Jesuit missionaries founded the mission in the 18th century in part to catechise the Guaraní Indian population and to protect the natives from the Portuguese slave traders known as the Bandeirantes.
The mission was built between 1735 to around 1745.
The Guarani War (Spanish: Guerra Guaranítica) of 1756, also called the War of the Seven Reductions, took place between the Guaraní tribes of seven Jesuit Reductions and joint Spanish-Portuguese forces. It was a result of the Treaty of Madrid, which set a line of demarcation between Spanish and Portuguese colonial territory in South America.
The boundary drawn up between the two nations was the Uruguay River, with Portugal possessing the land east of the river. The seven Jesuit missions east of the Uruguay River, known as the Misiones Orientales, were to be dismantled and relocated on the Spanish western side of the river. The seven missions were called San Miguel, Santos Angeles, San Lorenzo Martir, San Nicolas, San Juan Bautista, San Luis Gonzaga, and San Francisco de Borja.
In 1754 the Jesuits surrendered control of the missions, but the Guarani led by Sepé Tiaraju, refused to comply with the order to relocate. Efforts by the Spanish army in 1754 to forcefully remove the Guarani from the missions failed. In February 1756 a combined force of 3,000 Spanish and Portuguese soldiers attacked the settlements. It resulted in the death of 1,511 Guarani, while the Europeans suffered only 3 deaths. In the aftermath of the battle, the joint Spanish-Portuguese army occupied the seven missions.
Eventually Spain and Portugal annulled the 1750 treaty in the Treaty of El Pardo, with Spain regaining control over the seven missions and its surrounding territory.
The 1986 film The Mission shows these events.
Lungo la strada più mondana dell'isola di Capri tra boutiques prestigiose ed alberghi di lusso c'è una piccola porta bianca quasi nascosta, proprio questo è l'ingresso del locale più frequentato delle notti capresi: l'Anema e Core.
Di fama internazionale è il fulcro della movida caprese, all'interno è possibile incontrare personaggi d'ogni tipo dalla popstar al politico, dall'industriale al presentatore televisivo, intellettuali, personaggi sportivi, modelle, perfino esponenti di varie stirpi reali.
L'artefice di questa magia ... Guido Lembo.
'La notte appartiene a lui, autentico stregone di Capri, l'imperatore notturno che comanda supremo sull'isola dalla mezzanotte all'alba, uomo capace di far scatenare il più pudico degli uomini politici in spontanee esibizioni di canto recitate a squarciagola dal palco, o ad incitare la più riservata delle dive ad esercitarsi in balli esotici degni delle danzatrici più energiche. Basta entrare nel suo regno per sciogliere ogni riserbo, e per chi non dovesse riuscirci, ci penserà Guido, l'abilissimo maestro delle cerimonie.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the way most fashionable island of Capri among prestigious boutiques and luxury hotels is a small white door almost hidden, this is precisely the entry of local busiest nights of Capri: the Anema e Core.
Of international fame is the hub of nightlife in Capri, you can meet people in every type from the pop star to politician, industrialist to television presenters, philosophers, sportsmen, models, even members of various royal lines.
The creator of this magic ... Guido Lembo.
'The night belongs to undisputed ruler of Capri, the emperor who commands the supreme night on the island from midnight dawn, a man capable of unleashing the most modest of politicians in spontaneous performances by singing loudly recited from the stage, or to encourage the more reserved of the stars to practice exotic dance worthy of the most energetic dancers. Just enter his kingdom to lift any restraint, and who fails, we think Guido, skilled master of ceremonies. '
Pentru că s-a ivit ocazia am ieșit în întâmpinarea trenului IC 561 (fost IR 1661), botezat "Trenul Unirii" în cinstea Unirii celor două Principate Române, Moldova și Țara Românească, care a avut loc la data de 24 Ianuarie 1859.
Nici în acest an compania CFR Călători nu s-a dat peste cap pentru a onora acest eveniment la nivelul cuvenit.
Garnitura trenului a fost o struțo-cămilă, locomotivelor nici măcar o spălare nu li s-a făcut, darămite să mai vorbim de o vopsire.
Pe distanța București Nord - Tecuci trenul fost remorcat de locomotiva 41-0431-7, la fel ca și anul trecut.
În Tecuci a trecut la comandă locomotiva 64-1127-9, aceasta remorcând trenul de-a lungul magistralei 500 până la destinație.
Because the opportunity arose, we went out to meet IC train 561 (former IR 1661), christened “The Union Train” in commemoration of the Union of the two Romanian Principalities, Moldavia and Wallachia, which took place on 24 January 1859.
Even this year, CFR Călători made little effort to honour the event at an appropriate level. The trainset was a mismatched formation, and the locomotives had not even been washed, let alone repainted.
Over the București Nord – Tecuci section, the train was hauled by locomotive 41-0431-7, as was also the case last year. At Tecuci, locomotive 64-1127-9 took over traction, hauling the train along Main Line 500 to its final destination.

1177, Venezia. In una mattina di luglio, all'ombra della chiesa di San Marco, l'imperatore Federico Barbarossa si inginocchia al cospetto di papa Alessandro III, sigiando così la pace, lungamente attesa, dopo un conflitto ventennale. Tra la folla, Enrico Dandolo: nipote di un patriarca e figlio di un giudice della corte ducale, entrambi valorosi crociati, è destinato a diventare il doge più celebre della storia di Venezia. 1203, Costantinopoli. In una mattina di luglio, sulla prua di una galea veneziana, un uomo cieco e avanti negli anni comanda l'attacco cristiano alla città più ricca d'Oriente: è II vecchio Dandolo, eletto nel 1192 al trono ducale, che conduce eroicamente le sue navi fin sotto le mura di Costantinopoli. Thomas Madden racconta la storia leggendaria del quarantunesimo doge, che guidò il suo popolo attraverso gli eventi della quarta crociata, decidendone le sorti vittoriose. E trasformò Venezia da repubblica di mercanti in potente impero del mare.
Between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, Venice transformed itself from a struggling merchant commune to a powerful maritime empire that would shape events in the Mediterranean for the next four hundred years. In this magisterial new book on medieval Venice, Thomas F. Madden traces the city-state's extraordinary rise through the life of Enrico Dandolo (c. 1107--1205), who ruled Venice as doge from 1192 until his death. The scion of a prosperous merchant family deeply involved in politics, religion, and diplomacy, Dandolo led Venice's forces during the disastrous Fourth Crusade (1201--1204), which set out to conquer Islamic Egypt but instead destroyed Christian Byzantium. Yet despite his influence on the course of Venetian history,we know little about Dandolo, and much of what is known has been distorted by myth.
The first full-length study devoted to Dandolo's life and times, Enrico Dandolo and the Rise of Venice corrects the many misconceptions about him that have accumulated over the centuries, offering an accurate and incisive assessment of Dandolo's motives, abilities, and achievements as doge, as well as his role -- and Venice's -- in the Fourth Crusade. Madden also examines the means and methods by which the Dandolo family rose to prominence during the preceding century, thus illuminating medieval Venice's singular political, social, and religious environment. Culminating with the crisis precipitated by the failure of the Fourth Crusade, Madden's groundbreaking work reveals the extent to which Dandolo and his successors became torn between the anxieties and apprehensions of Venice's citizens and its escalating obligations as a Mediterranean power.
“Al momento di marciare molti non sanno
che alla loro testa marcia il nemico.
La voce che li comanda
è la voce del loro nemico
e chi parla del nemico
è lui stesso il nemico”
"Wenn es zum Marschieren kommt, wissen viele nicht
Daß ihr Feind an ihrer Spitze marschiert
Die Stimme, die sie kommandiert
Ist die Stimme ihres Feindes.
Der da vom Feind spricht
Ist selber der Feind"
“When it comes to marching many do not know
that their enemy is marching at their head.
The voice which gives them their orders
is their enemy’s voice and
the man who speaks of the enemy
is the enemy himself”
"Cuando se trata de marchar, muchos no saben
que su enemigo marcha a la cabeza.
La voz que les manda
es la voz de su enemigo.
El que habla allí del enemigo
es él mismo el enemigo"
Bertolt Brecht, 1938

Ninna nanna, tu non senti
i sospiri e i lamenti
de la gente che si scanna
per un matto che comanda
che si scanna e che s'ammazza
a vantaggio della razza,
o a vantaggio di una fede,
per un Dio che non si vede,
....................................................(Trilussa)
In the shelters, children spend their time drawing war.
.......................................................
Lullaby, you do not hear
sighs and moans
of the people who slaughter themselves
for a madman who commands
that slaughters and kills itself
for the benefit of the race,
or for the benefit of a faith,
for a God who cannot be seen,

SALMO 61
Ascolta, o Dio, il mio grido,
sii attento alla mia preghiera.
Sull'orlo dell'abisso io t'invoco,
mentre sento che il cuore mi manca:
guidami tu sulla rupe per me troppo alta.
Per me sei diventato un rifugio,
una torre fortificata davanti al nemico.
Vorrei abitare nella tua tenda per sempre,
vorrei rifugiarmi all'ombra delle tue ali.
Tu, o Dio, hai accolto i miei voti,
mi hai dato l'eredità di chi teme il tuo nome.
Ai giorni del re aggiungi altri giorni,
per molte generazioni siano i suoi anni!
Regni per sempre sotto gli occhi di Dio;
comanda che amore e fedeltà lo custodiscano.
Così canterò inni al tuo nome per sempre,
adempiendo i miei voti giorno per giorno.
.
PSALM 61
Hear, O God, my cry,
be attentive to my prayer.
On the edge of the abyss I call upon you,
while I feel that my heart is missing:
guide me on the cliff that is too high for me.
For me you have become a refuge,
a fortified tower in front of the enemy.
I would like to live in your tent forever,
I would like to take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
You, O God, have accepted my wishes,
you have given me the inheritance of those who fear your name.
To the king's days add more days,
for many generations may be his years!
May you reign forever under the eyes of God;
he commands that love and faithfulness guard him.
So I will sing hymns to your name forever,
fulfilling my vows day by day.

🇬🇧 September 1998, honeymoon in Santo Domingo.
Here we are, relaxed and sun-kissed on the beach of the Barceló resort — unaware that a few hours later Hurricane Georges would sweep across the island. The calm before the storm, literally. A snapshot of lightness and love, just before nature reminded everyone who’s really in charge.
🇮🇹 Settembre 1998, luna di miele a Santo Domingo.
Eccoci qui, rilassati e abbronzati sulla spiaggia del Barceló, ignari che poche ore dopo l’uragano Georges avrebbe travolto l’isola. La calma prima della tempesta, in tutti i sensi. Uno scatto di leggerezza e amore, poco prima che la natura ricordasse a tutti chi comanda davvero.
El castell d'Ulldecona, citat com a lloc l'any 1120 i com a castell des de l'any 1167, està situat en un turó en el qual hi ha constància d'ocupació humana ja en època ibèrica i després musulmana, moment previ a l'actual recinte medieval aixecat pels cristians.
Al recinte emmurallat del castell d'Ulldecona distingim diverses estructures: una muralla externa corresponent a la construcció àrab, l'albacar àrab i la vila cristiana, salòquia, la muralla àrab del recinte interior, diverses estances d'usos diversos, l'aljub, el pati d'armes, l'accés principal, un bastió o torre de cantonada de la muralla de planta rectangular, la torre de planta quadrada, la torre de planta circular, l'església de la Mare de Déu dels Àngels i una muralla del segle XV.
La denominada torre-palau dels Hospitalers és una torre de planta quadrangular envoltada d'un basament atalussat, de tres pisos i terassa que ha perdut el coronament superior amb grans finestrals a la planta més noble o corresponent a habitatge. Els paraments són de carreus ben treballats als angles i a les obertures i irregulars disposats en filades horitzontals als murs que li donen un aspecte certament massís.
També és important una altra torre d'uns 10 metres d'alçada, de planta cilíndrica i forma troncocilíndrica (5 metres de diàmetre a la base i 4 metres de diàmetre a la part superior). Té dos pisos i una coberta culminada per merlets. Les plantes estan cobertes per falsa cúpula amb una obertura central que permet l'accés al nivell superior.
Mereix especial atenció l'església de la Mare de Déu dels Àngels, sota l'advocació inicial de Santa Maria al segle XIII. Era la capella del castell de la comanda hospitalera, d'una única nau coberta amb volta de canó i culminada a llevant per un absis semicircular. La porta d'accés situada a ponent és de mig punt i disposa d'un senzill guardapols exterior a les dovelles.
