Un libro è come un giardino, una serra,
un magazzino, una festa, un compagno nel cammino,
un consigliere, una moltitudine di consiglieri.
Henry Ward Beecher

The Fountain of Books, also known as the Fontana dei Libri, is located in between the Piazza Navona and the Piazza della Rotonda. The fountain was built by Pietro Lombardi in 1927 near the complex of the Palazzo della Sapienza, a complex which was considered to be the seat of the University of Rome in ancient times. The fountain features the head of a deer which symbolizes the district. There are 2 ancient books which are placed on either side of the head. It is said that these ancient books symbolize the ancient University della Sapienza.

Books in Gondola
Acqua Alta Bookshop
I've heard of this very original bookshop a few times...but never had the chance to go and find it and explore it....but finally i did....and not only is a place to explore...it is a magical place, especially for all the ones who love books....a place where to get lost in!
It's a bookshop that sell mostly old and used books....some are VERY old!...but what makes it unique is the way they displayed the enormous amount of books....inside an old Gondola that in all its elegance welcome you in the middle of the main room, or inside very old and decadent baths or boats ...all around the other rooms!
How to find that old book you were looking for....no idea...but if you ask the owners they will help you for sure.....they are the only ones to be able to move in that maze of books and go straight in the right place to find what you are looking for!
....but probably the best way to enjoy this place is just wondering around sniffing the smell of the old books....the dampness....exploring the different books all around and see if you find a very special one that catch your eyes and mind and go out of it with a very magical sensation and a gift, to realise it wasn't a dream but a real place!!!!
Un Ex-libris est une marque de possession, en général un feuillet imprimé de petite taille, collé à l’intérieur de la couverture d’un livre pour en identifier le propriétaire. L'expression latine : «Ex libris …» signifie «un des livres appartenant à …», et elle est habituellement suivie du nom du propriétaire du livre, qui peut être un individu ou une institution. En principe, un ex-libris est une commande passée à un artiste par quelqu’un souhaitant marquer les volumes de sa bibliothèque d’une manière plus décorative et élégante que la simple inscription de son nom, manuscrite ou par timbre humide. Dans sa forme imprimée, l’ex-libris est utilisé de cette manière depuis plus de 500 ans.

Ethereal collection of illustrated artworks by the Dutch artist Theodorus “Theo” van Hoytema (1863-1917). He was employed as a draughtsman in the Zoological Museum in Leiden where he was able to draw much inspiration from the natural form of animals. Theo was known as a book illustrator, painter, aquarellist, and etcher and is renowned for his incredibly detailed lithographic work. He was inspired by French Art Nouveau movement and Japanese graphic art which influenced him to create innovative floral and animal motives. De Hoytema published several picture books for children, including the well-known The Ugly Duckling. In later years, he also published calendars, some of which can be found in this collection. We have digitally enhanced these beautiful litographs of animals, birds, and plants for you to enjoy and download to use under the CC0 license.

Water elemental of unknown origin and sister MOC to Taliss. I enjoyed utilizing all the shades of translucent blue on one MOC. I think the overall color pallet and gradients turned out pretty good if not a tad chaotic. I also like the bubble shapes on her back using the large ribbed hoses, nice design symmetry with her straight up bubble wand staff.
grazie per essere stati con me, per avermi seguito, commosso, divertito, annoiato, per aver acompagnato un pezzo della mia vita
grazie per avermi raccontato storie o per avermi insegnato, grazie - semplicemente - per avermi fatto trascorrere qualche ora, per aver ingombrato il comodino, per avermi seguito in vacanza
grazie di esservi fatti toccare, strattonare, sgualcire, di aver preso la pioggia con me... perché non c'è tablet che tenga: nel piacere della lettura il poter toccare la carta è componente essenziale
e visto che è tempo di bilanci, mi permetto qualche sintetico giudizio personale
Il libro che se non l'avessi letto mi sarei persa una gran cosa: La sorella di Freud di Goce Smilevski (Guanda)
I libri che ce ne fossero: Laura Pariani, Il paese delle donne lupo (Einaudi), Andrej Longo, Lu campu di girasoli (Adelphi)
Quello che racconta la storia d'amore più commovente: Lisa Moore, L'inverno che Helen O' Mara smise di sognare (Bollati Boringhieri)
Quello che conosco l'autore: Polis in fabula (Sellerio) di Anna Lazzarini, che solo ieri era una ragazzina e adesso me la ritrovo a scrivere saggi
Quello che conosco l'autore bis: Meterra (Mondadori) di Andrea Cisi, di cui non ho finito il romanzo perché non amo il fantasy, ma lui è una bella persona... e ha scritto anche Cronache dalla ditta (Mondadori) in cui racconta della sua esperienza in fabbrica
Quello che non conosco l'autore ma mi piacerebbe: Valeria Parrella, Lettera di dimissioni (Einaudi) perché lei mi è simpatica, perché ha i capelli ricci e perché l'accento napoletano mi fa impazzire
Quelli che la memoria è importante: Giovanni Bianconi, Il brigatista e l'operaio (Einaudi) dedicato al sindacalista Guido Rossa, vittima delle Br; Paolo Di Stefano, La catastròfa - Marcinelle 8 agosto 1956 (Sellerio)
Quello che avrebbero potuto scriverlo più di vent'anni fa: Grazia Deledda, Amore lontano (Mondadori), epistolario che mi sarebbe stato utilissimo per la tesi!
Quelli con la copertina più brutta: per il secondo anno consecutivo voto per la nuova orribile grafica degli Einaudi stile libero
Quelli della collana più bella: i titoli Contromano di Laterza
