In Memoria Presente | photo-project è un lavoro personale che nasce dall'esigenza di voler raccontare attraverso l'arte della fotografia ciò che il passato, la storia, deve insegnare; una riflessione dovuta e continua su ciò che è stato e ciò che non dovrà mai più essere.
Le Pietre d'inciampo (ted. Stolpersteine) sono una iniziativa dell'artista tedesco Gunter Demnig per depositare, nel tessuto urbanistico e sociale delle città europee una memoria diffusa dei cittadini deportati nei campi di sterminio nazisti. L'iniziativa, attuata in diversi paesi europei, consiste nell'incorporare, nel selciato stradale delle città, davanti alle ultime abitazioni delle vittime di deportazioni, dei blocchi in pietra ricoperti al di sopra con una piastra di ottone.
L'iniziativa è partita a Colonia nel 1995 e ha portato, a inizio 2016, all'installazione di oltre 56.000 "pietre" (la cinquantamillesima pietra è stata posata a Torino) in vari paesi europei: Germania, Austria, Ungheria, Repubblica Ceca, Slovacchia, Polonia, Paesi Bassi, Belgio, Lussemburgo, Norvegia, Italia, Francia, Spagna, Svizzera, Grecia, Ucraina, Slovenia, Croazia, Romania ed Russia.
La memoria consiste in una piccola targa d'ottone della dimensione di un sampietrino (10 x 10 cm.), posta davanti alla porta della casa in cui abitò la vittima del nazismo o nel luogo in cui fu fatta prigioniera, sulla quale sono incisi il nome della persona, l'anno di nascita, la data, l'eventuale luogo di deportazione e la data di morte, se conosciuta. Questo tipo di informazioni intendono ridare individualità a chi si voleva ridurre soltanto a numero. L'espressione "inciampo" deve dunque intendersi non in senso fisico, ma visivo e mentale, per far fermare a riflettere chi vi passa vicino e si imbatte, anche casualmente, nell'opera.
Le pietre d'inciampo vengono posate in memoria delle vittime del nazismo, indipendentemente da etnia e religione.
In Memory Present | photo-project is a personal work that is born from the need to tell through the art of photography what the past, history, must teach; a due reflection and continues on what was and what will never be.
The stones of stumbling (ted. Stolpersteine) are an initiative of the German artist Gunter Demnig to deposit, in the urban and social fabric of European cities a common memory of citizens deported to Nazi death camps. The initiative, implemented in several European countries, is to incorporate, in the cobbled road of the city, in front of the last houses of the victims of deportations, of stone blocks covered on top with a brass plate.
The initiative came in Cologne in 1995 and led, at the beginning of 2016, the installation of more than 56,000 "stones" (cinquantamillesima stone was laid in Turin) in several European countries: Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, Ukraine, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania and Russia.
The memory consists of a small brass plate the size of a sampietrino (10 x 10 cm.), Located in front of the door of the house in which lived the victim of Nazism or the place where he was taken prisoner, on which are engraved the the person's name, year of birth, the date, any place of deportation and the date of death, if known. This type of information is intended to give individuality to those who just wanted to reduce the number. The "stumbling" expression must therefore be understood not in the physical sense, but visual and mental, to stop and think whoever passes by and you come across, even casually, in the work.
The stumbling blocks are laid in memory of the victims of Nazism, regardless of ethnicity and religion.

This glass elevator, opened in 2016, connects the Pescatore park located in the centre of Luxembourg City to the Pfaffenthal area at the bottom of the Alzette valley.
Fort Thüngen, a historic fortification in Luxembourg City, is sited in Dräi Eechelen Park, in the Kirchberg quarter. It is also colloquially known as Trois Glands (in English, Three Acorns) in reference to the acorns that sit atop of the three towers.
Most of the original fortress was demolished after the 1867 Treaty of London, which demanded the demolition of Luxembourg City's numerous fortifications. The three towers and the foundations of the rest of the fort were all that remained. During the 1990s, the site was reconstructed in its entirety, in parallel with the development of the site for the construction of the Mudam, Luxembourg's museum of modern art. After being fully restored, Fort Thüngen was reopened in 2012 as Musée Dräi Eechelen.
Jardin du Luxembourg
The Jardin du Luxembourg, or the Luxembourg Garden, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, was created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The garden today is owned by the French Senate, which meets in the Palace. The park, which covers 23 hectares, is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, flowerbeds, the model sailboats on its circular basin, and for the picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 1620.

The city centre occupies a picturesque site on a salient, perched high atop precipitous cliffs that drop into the narrow valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, which find their confluence at Luxembourg City. The 70 m- (230 ft) deep gorges cut by the rivers are spanned by many bridges and viaducts, including the Adolphe Bridge, the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, and the Passerelle. Although Luxembourg City is not particularly large, its layout is complex, as the city is set on several levels, straddling hills and dropping into the two gorges.
Le Pont grande-duchesse Charlotte (luxembourgeois : Groussherzogin-Charlotte-Bréck, allemand : Großherzogin-Charlotte-Brücke) est situé à Luxembourg-Ville, dans le sud du Luxembourg. Il relie l'avenue John-F.-Kennedy (lb), au Kirchberg, au boulevard Robert-Schuman (lb), au Limpertsberg et permet à la route nationale 51 (nl) ainsi qu'au futur tramway de Luxembourg de franchir la vallée de l'Alzette et est de ce fait la principale route reliant le centre-ville, la Ville-Haute, au Kirchberg, le quartier des institutions européennes.
Le pont est également connu sous le nom de Pont Rouge (luxembourgeois : Rout Bréck, allemand : Rote Brücke) en référence à sa peinture rouge distinctive. Il est plus sinistrement connu pour la centaine de suicides recensés entre son ouverture et 1993, année où un garde-corps anti-suicide est installé.

The Corniche in Luxembourg, also called the most beautiful balcony in Europe, runs on the ramparts built by the Spanish and French in the 17th century, along the Alzette valley from Bockfelsen to the lower part of the Heiliggeist Citadel .
It gives excellent views of the valley of the Alzette, the Grund district and the Rham Plateau.
Neumünster Abbey is a public meeting place and cultural centre, located in the Grund district of Luxembourg. After the original Benedictine abbey on the Altmünster Plateau had been destroyed in 1542, in 1606 the monks built a new abbey or "Neumünster" in the Grund. This in turn was destroyed by fire in 1684 but was rebuilt on the same site in 1688 and extended in 1720.
After the French Revolution, it served as a police station and prison before becoming a barracks for the Prussians after Napoleon's defeat in 1815. From 1867, it once again became a state prison.
Since 1997, it has been the home of the European Institute of Cultural Routes. During World War II, the Nazis used the abbey to imprison political resisters to their occupation of Luxembourg. Among the most notable of those political prisoners was Luxembourg's best-known sculptor Lucien Wercollier.
Following extensive renovation works, Neumünster was opened to the public in May 2004 as a meeting place and a cultural centre. It hosts concerts, exhibitions, and seminars. The abbey is also now home to the Lucien Wercollier Cloister, where many works from the sculptor's private collection are permanently displayed.
