Rocchetta Mattei

Cappella

Dal vestibolo della Sala dei Novanta, si sale la scala e, oltrepassata la copia ridotta del Portale monumentale di Palazzo d’Accursio a Bologna, si accede all’iconica Cappella. Lo spazio unisce elementi arabo islamici, come gli archi ispirati a quelli della Mezquita di Cordova, con altri della tradizione architettonica medievale italiana, come il matroneo e l’abside semicircolare. La sua struttura e le decorazioni sono realizzate con materiali locali tra i quali gesso, cemento, mattoni e legno. Nelle lunette si riconoscono alcuni apostoli dipinti al principio del Novecento con una tecnica che simulava il mosaico. Anche le decorazioni del soffitto non sono lignee, ma tele dipinte che riproducono intarsi con fioroni dorati, questi ultimi invece in legno.

Rocchetta Mattei is a fantastic architectural masterpiece in Emilia, at Grizzana Morandi, near Bologna! A stone marvel commissioned by Count Cesare Mattei in 19th century, with a style that included a mix of everything: Norman, Etruscan, Arabian, Turkish and even Asian!

The Earl Mattei used to live a proper medieval castellan life in the citadel with a real court and a jester; the castle hosted also many illustrious persons and was known by eminent personalities such as the russian writer Dostoevsky, that mentioned the earl in a novel, talking about his skills in “electro-homeopathy”, a practice ideated by Mattei itself. During his life the earl has changed the structure several times, making it a labyrinthine twist of many rooms towers and stairs. But in 1959 the Rocchetta was bought by Primo Stefanelli who turned part of the minor buildings in a cozy hotel with an access to the close park, a real oasis of peace. He wanted to make the place a real touristic destination, but after his death the situation deteriorated until the Rocchetta was closed.

In 2006 the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna has officially announced the acquisition of the Rocchetta Mattei, undergoing restoration work completed with the reopening to the public on Aug. 9, 2015.

I come with a milky head too now

Laguiole times two. Different blade and hardware finishes and different wood handles, though.

 

About Genuine "Laguiole":

(or: why your product should not be named after a place):

 

There's probably a gazillion different makers/distributors/sellers of "Laguiole" knives (in France alone there's allegedly over 130 of them), but most of the knives - the cheap stuff - are most likely from somewhere in Asia...

 

The problem here is that "Laguiole" as a single word is neither a brand nor a single knifemaker, it is just the name of a 1,200-people village in France, and therefore cannot be protected as a quality mark.

 

As a rule of thumb, only "Laguioles" with the "Laguiole Origine Garantie" as issued by the "Association de Défense du Laguiole Origine Garantie" in the town hall of the village Laguiole are genuine, hand-made knives from the region.

 

You may find the wording "Laguiole Origine Garantie" written somewhere on the blade and/or the respective logo "G within O within L" or "L within O" is applied to the knife - and that is a protected logo / wording.

 

Lauguiole en Aubrac also has the bull head as protected logo.

That's actually the offical name for this model, imaginative I know!

It's hard to believe he's been gone a year. We all still miss him. He was a huge presence in our lives. I'd like to share this little poem my husband wrote for him:

 

My little buddy

Loving friend

We were soulmates

Till the end

 

I miss your warmth

Your silky fur

And long to hear

Your bumbly purr

I usually only end up with a few photos I'm really pleased with at shows. Dreamride was a huge exception. Got so many good ones.
