Chi progetta sa di aver raggiunto la perfezione non quando non ha più nulla da aggiungere ma quando non gli resta più niente da togliere.

Civita di Bagnoregio is a town in the Province of Viterbo in central Italy, a suburb of the comune of Bagnoregio.
The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley. It is in constant danger of destruction as the edges of the plateau collapse due to erosion, leaving the buildings to crumble as their underlying support falls away. As of 2004, there were plans to reinforce the plateau with steel rods to prevent further geological damage.
The city is also much admired for its architecture spanning several hundred years. Civita di Bagnoregio owes much of its unaltered condition to its relative isolation; the town was able to withstand most intrusions of modernity as well as the destruction brought by two world wars. The population today varies from about 7 people in winter to more than 100 in summer.
The town was placed on the World Monuments Fund's 2006 Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites, because of threats it faces from erosion and unregulated tourism.

Nogent a vu de nombreuses batailles, dont celle sous Napoléon qui opposa 1000 grognards à 20000 Autrichiens, et a été souvent détruite ou incendiée.

According to the philosopher Zygmunt Bauman, liquid modernity refers to a fluidity that, far from leading us to a "lighter" living, it sends the weight of concreteness away, but doesn't give the counterpart. Where everything is fluid, transitory and without reference, everything "depends on context" and the solid bases to support us are no longer found. In order not to drown, one must learn to discern. Or we'll follow the fate of Sisyphus until the death of everything that exists.
Lyon Saône, also known simply as Lyon or Lyon-sur-Saône, refers to the city of Lyon, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The name "Saône" comes from the river that runs through the city, dividing it into two parts: Lyon on the east bank and Lyon-sur-Saône on the west bank.
Lyon is the third-largest city in France and is renowned for its historical significance, architectural heritage, gastronomy, and vibrant cultural scene. The city has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and its old town, known as Vieux Lyon, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Saône River, along with the Rhône River, plays a significant role in the city's geography and has contributed to its economic development over the centuries.
Tourists and locals alike enjoy strolling along the banks of the Saône, where they can find picturesque quays, charming bridges, and stunning views of the city. The riverbanks are also dotted with bars, restaurants, and recreational spaces, making it a popular area for leisure activities.
In addition to the Saône River, Lyon is famous for its culinary delights, especially its unique bouchons (traditional Lyonnais restaurants) serving delicious local dishes. The city's cultural attractions include numerous museums, theaters, and music venues, making it a hub for art and entertainment in the region.
Overall, Lyon Saône is a city that blends history, culture, and modernity, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a taste of authentic French lifestyle.

Dale Church in Luster, Norway, was originally built almost 800 years ago. The architecture is a mix of Romanesque and Gothic style. Among other things, it has frescoes dating from the 15th century. It was not mentioned as a must-see in the tourist guidebooks, but we are very glad we did see it, with some fine examples of craftsmanship like this window and side entrance door. Something modernity cannot imitate.

Kloosterkazerne (barracks), Breda, The Netherlands.
The current building has been restored in 2003, but the looks date from a modification in 1846. The complex started as a cloister in 1308.
The doors are painful details.
In modernity we are in a hurry to go and arrive and we no longer stop to observe the shadows that slowly stretch out on the road.
Presente e passato
Nella modernità si ha fretta di andare ed arrivare e non ci si ferma più ad osservare le ombre che si allungano lentamente sulla strada.
