Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After the first World War I the Republic of Austria in Belvedere installed the Austrian Gallery. 1945 suffered the Belvedere severe war damage. In 1950, the "Gold Cabinet" in the north-eastern corner pavilion of the Upper Belvedere was destroyed by fire and replaced by a copy. The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.

Reims_Un parfum de Paris-Roubaix.
C’est dans la ville des rois de France qu’est jugée l’arrivée de la 6e étape, partie d’Arras pour 194kilomètres. Du Nord-Pas-de-Calais à la Champagne-Ardennes,
il n’y a que du plat et le sprint paraît inévitable.
D’ailleurs, les trois derniers vainqueurs à Reims s’appellent Alessandro Petacchi (2010), Robbie McEwen (2002) et Djamolidine Abdoujaparov (1991) : trois fusées.
Tout le monde sur le pont à Reims pour le Tour de France ...
Le Tour de France est une manifestation qui demande l’implication de tous les services de la Ville
La pose de barrières reste la mission la plus prenante pour les agents municipaux.
le Tour de France est une très grosse « machine » qui demande une logistique considérable.
Si la société ASO (Amaury sport organisation) a ses propres équipes qui suivent tout le parcours pendant les 22 jours de la compétition,
les villes étapes doivent elles aussi accompagner le mouvement.
la ligne d’arrivée.
Dans la zone d’arrivée, sous la houlette du directeur de site, des barrières hautes sont posées autour de la "zone technique",
d’où émettent les camions radio et les télévisions. Doublet travaille depuis un an à la conception de barrières "repousse public" dotées d’arches,
qui empêcheront toute main de percuter malencontreusement un coureur. Suite à la chute de Laurent Jalabert à Armentières d’ailleurs,
les barrières ne laissent plus dépasser aucun panneau publicitaire. La réclame est directement intégrée à la clôture.
La caravane publicitaire
La caravane publicitaire, créée en 1930, s’est développée considérablement au fil des années, pour accueillir plus de 180 véhicules en 2012.
Le défilé d’ouverture, festif et créatif, a su conquérir les marques et le public, jusqu’à devenir une composante essentielle au spectacle du Tour
LCL, qui sera toujours parrain du maillot jaune du leader du classement général du Tour de France, comme c'est le cas depuis 1987.
La caravane publicitaire du Tour Alsace part une heure avant les coureurs. Elle est composée d'une quinzaine de véhicules publicitaires
et suit le parcours officiel du Tour. Elle distribue une multitude de goodies aux spectateurs au bord des routes.
47 % des spectateurs viennent en priorité pour la caravane
Le succès de la formule, avec un défilé de véhicules originaux qui « font de la réclame », en distribuant des cadeaux, est immédiat.
Les premiers annonceurs, comme la Vache qui rit, y gagnent la sympathie du public, qui se prête volontiers au jeu. Quatre-vingts ans plus tard,
la caravane publicitaire est devenue une composante à part entière du spectacle du Tour. Indissociable de la course qu’elle précède, la procession multiforme et multicolore
offre une animation de plus de 45 minutes. Jeunes et moins jeunes commentent sur le bord des routes la taille et l’inventivité des chars ; on s’y presse pour demander des cadeaux…
Au total, une étude réalisée auprès du public du Tour révèle que 47 % des spectateurs sont venus en priorité pour voir la caravane publicitaire.

Marco Mengoni , vincitore incontrastato della terza edizione di 'X Factor'. Presenza scenica da professionista consumato, lunatico, "permaloso quasi antipatico", ha conquistato la stima del pubblico (non è mai finito in ballottaggio per l'eliminazione) grazie a interpretazioni di grande spessore.
Il 4 dicembre 2009 esce “DOVE SI VOLA”, il suo primo Ep, che in poche settimane scala le classifiche di vendita con oltre 70 mila copie.
“Dove si vola”, brano che da il titolo all’Ep, è difficile da interpretare per un uomo, sia per la tonalità molto alta che per l’articolazione della melodia sull’armonia. La forza vocale di Marco regala al pezzo una magia unica che, durante le esibizioni fa letteralmente volare il pubblico, pubblico che l’ha votato e proclamato, quasi fin da subito, il vero talento della terza edizione di X Factor. All’interno dell’EP un altro brano inedito, “Lontanissimo da te”, firmato Massimo e Piero Calabrese e cinque tra le più emozionanti cover cantate da Marco durante il programma.
Marco nasce a Ronciglione (VT) il 25 dicembre 1988 (Capricorno), proprio nel giorno di Natale. Fin da bambino ama tutti i generi musicali: “Alla tenera 'altezza' di 70 cm. comincio ad ascoltare di tutto, dal pop all’r&b, soul, rock ed inizio ad approfondire la mia cultura musicale: scopro il karaoke e comincio a cantare di nascosto, per timidezza. Poi una volta i miei per caso mi ascoltano e si convincono di mandarmi ad una scuola di canto. Da quel momento capisco che la musica non è poi così semplice come pensavo: c'era da imparare molto…. tecniche di respirazione, maschera facciale, scale, vocalizzi di qualsiasi genere, per affinare la voce”.
Marco inizia a cantare all’età di 14 anni. Mentre studia all'Istituto per il Design, segue anche una scuola di canto dove impara le prime tecniche per la gestione e l'utilizzo dei propri mezzi vocali. Visto il talento di Marco, l’insegnante di canto lo inserisce in un piccolo quintetto vocale con cui si esibisce in serate di piazza e per le festività, facendo cover.
Dopo 2 anni ha inizio il suo percorso solista con un gruppo di musicisti con il quale suona nei club un po’ del suo repertorio originale e un po’ di cover, continuando quindi la sua gavetta. Iniziano tre anni di duro lavoro e provinaggio, per affinare lo stile e la personalità, ed anche per questo, Marco, figlio unico, lascia la famiglia per trasferirsi a Roma. Contemporaneamente si iscrive all’Università nella Facoltà di Lingue, e fa esperienza come fonico e programmatore, prendendo familiarità con gli studi di registrazione.
Il suo genere preferito resta il Brit Pop e la sua massima, e amatissima, influenza musicale sono i Beatles: tra le sue canzoni preferite dei Fab 4 ci sono 'Michelle' e 'The Fool on te hill'. Anche se il brano che gli ha cambiato la vita è 'La luce dell’est' di Lucio Battisti.
Vincendo X Factor Marco partecipa di diritto alla Sessantesima Edizione del Festival di Sanremo, nella categoria 'Artisti', interpretando “Credimi ancora”, brano che fa parte dell’EP “Re Matto” uscito il 19 febbraio 2010 su etichetta Rca/Sony Music.
Il 2010 è un anno davvero unico per quest’artista giovane ma pieno di talento. Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song. Grazie alla vittoria come Best Italian Act, Marco è entrato in nomination per il "Best European Act" in concorrenza con gli altri vincitori dei regional act. Marco partecipa inoltre all'ottava edizione di "O'Scia'", insieme ad altre star del pop italiano ed internazionale, organizzata da Claudio Baglioni a Lampedusa in cui si intende sensibilizzare fan, politici e cittadini sul problema della immigrazione clandestina.
Il 19 ottobre esce su etichetta Rca/Sony Music il Cd+Dvd “Re Matto live”. L’album debutta al 1° posto della classifica dei dischi più venduti (Gfk/Fimi) e al 1° posto della classifica di iTunes.
A novembre Marco Mengoni, dopo aver trionfato nella categoria Best Italian Act, si aggiudica anche il prestigioso titolo di Best European Act: un premio importante per lui e per l'Italia, considerando che in 17 edizioni nessun italiano era mai riuscito a raggiungere tale riconoscimento.
Il 2 settembre 2011 arriva in radio il singolo “Solo” che, anticipando l’uscita del nuovo disco, schizza alprimo posto della classica di iTunes. Il 27 settembre esce “Solo 2.0”, un vero e proprio concept album, che oltre alle tracce del disco e a un contenuto virtuale speciale (Il Comic 2.0), contamina anche la prima parte del Tour.
Dopo un’anteprima trionfante del “Solo Tour” con due date evento al Forum di Assago e al Palalottomatica di Roma, Marco Mengoni decide di cambiare veste allo spettacolo e di svelare al pubblico un’altra porzione d’anima, il suo lato più intimista, quasi introspettivo, non tralasciando mai la sua voglia di stupire e di emozionare. È un TOUR TEATRALE che fa della suggestione visiva e sonora il suo punto di forza.
Uno spettacolo in cui musica, movimento scenico, luci e scenografie compenetrano tra loro, per toccare ancor più da vicino l’anima di chi ascolta. L’essenza intimista dello spettacolo è rappresentata soprattutto dal suono. Una chiave di lettura inedita, con cui verranno reinterpretati molti tra i brani più noti del repertorio di Marco, insieme ad alcune cover, mai eseguite prima.
Il tour teatrale, ideato da Elisa, Marco Mengoni e Andrea Rigonat, parte dall’Arcimboldi di Milano il 19 aprile, passando dal Filarmonico di Verona, il Politeama di Palermo, il Gran Teatro di Roma e molti dei teatri più importanti d’Italia.
In radio intanto suona il nuovo singolo “Dall’inferno”, estratto dall’album Solo 2.0
Esce il 24 aprile, in esclusiva su iTunes, “Dall’Inferno EP”, l’EP digitale di Marco Mengoni contenente la title track, il videoclip e il backstage inedito di “Dall’inferno” e il video live di “Come ti senti”, girato durante lo showcase di presentazione dell’album “Solo 2.0”.
Marco è ospite dell’evento "Premio Leggio d'Oro", dove gli viene consegnato il Premio Speciale Voce Rivelazione Cartoon per il doppiaggio del personaggio Onceler nel cartone animato "Lorax il guardiano della foresta".
Marco prende parte al progetto "...Io Ci Sono", l'album tributo a Giorgio Gaber che celebra il grande artista a dieci anni dalla sua scomparsa, interpretando il brano "Destra-Sinistra".
Il 2013 si apre con la partecipazione di Marco alla 63^ Edizione del Festival di Sanremo con i brani “Bellissimo” e “L’Essenziale”, ed è proprio con quest’ultimo che Marco si classifica primo vincendo il Festival.
Entrambi i brani sono contenuti nel nuovo album di inediti (Sony Music) uscito il 19 marzo 2013:#PRONTOACORRERE ha superato di gran lunga il traguardo del disco di platino e "L’Essenziale" è addirittura multiplatino.
Marco ha rappresentato l’Italia all’Eurovision Song Contest a Malmö (Svezia) nel mese di maggio, dove ha ottenuto il settimo posto con "L’Essenziale".
L’8 maggio è partito "l’Essenziale Anteprima Tour" dal Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano: un’anteprima di 10 date, ideata per i più importanti teatri italiani che hanno registrato il sold out non appena aperte la prevendite.
Il 4 luglio è partito invece da Trento "L’Essenziale Tour", con un clamoroso successo di richieste, che continua ad imporre l’apertura di nuove date.

Il 24 ottobre al Teatro Sociale di Como, Mika rivisiterà il suo repertorio di successi e proporrà nuove canzoni in chiave sinfonica con l’orchestra “Affinis Consort”, diretta da Simon Leclerc, creata appositamente per l’occasione da 81 professionisti internazionali: 65 strumentisti e 16 coristi.
Lo spettacolo nasce dal desiderio di Mika di replicare in Italia l’incredibile esperienza dei tre concerti sinfonici tenutisi a Montréal lo scorso febbraio, in cui ha confermato la sua versatilità e la qualità del suo repertorio pop, anche in chiave classica.
Il concerto arriva dopo i grandi successi estivi al Fabrique di Milano, al Teatro Antico di Taormina e all’Arena della Regina di Cattolica e le prossime tre date nei palasport di Milano (27 settembre), Roma (29 settembre) e Firenze (30 settembre). Le prevendite per la serata speciale partiranno da giovedì 1 ottobre.
Simon Leclerc è un affermato compositore di colonne sonore per la Paramount e direttore d’orchestra canadese a cui Mika ha affidato l’arrangiamento in chiave classica del suo repertorio. Dopo i concerti di Montreal, Mika ha entusiasticamente dichiarato: “Provenendo io stesso da una formazione professionale classica, per me è straordinario sentire le mie canzoni nelle veste classica che Simon ha dato loro, perché nella mia mente, le ho sempre immaginate così!”
Dal piccolo ensemble alla grande orchestra sinfonica. Dalle fondamenta classiche alle contaminazioni contemporanee e pop.
Affinis Consort racchiude nel suo dna la multiformità del suo essere.
L'unione di mondi, il Canada e l'Italia. Il superamento dei confini geografici e culturali. Il connubio e la condivisione delle esperienze che ogni singolo musicista porta sul palco, elevando le affinità.
Templo ubicado en las cercanías de la falda oriente del cerro del Tepeyac. Fue construido de 1777 a 1791 y diseñado por el arquitecto Francisco Guerrero y Torres.Fue edificado sobre un pozo de aguas consideradas milagrosas, así, pronto comenzaron las peregrinaciones al lugar.10 Gran cantidad de enfermos bebía y lavaba sus heridas en el mismo sitio, por lo que pronto se convirtió en foco de infecciones. Para controlar las epidemias se impidió el acceso directo al pozo y se construyó una techumbre sencilla, pero las peregrinaciones continuaron. Para 1777 se tomó la decisión de construir un templo en el sitio.
El sello particular de esta capilla pequeña, considerada joya arquitectónica del estilo barroco, es su forma pues su planta es la única de base circular o cántrica levantada durante el siglo XVIII que se conserva en México. Este carácter permite que el visitante perciba el espacio poco a poco, como si éste se escondiera. El movimiento que le imprime a la cúpula la decoración en zigzag, lo mismo que las líneas multiformes utilizadas en las ventanas contribuye a crear esta atmósfera de movimiento lento. Todos los símbolos que cargan los angelitos pintados en la cúpula, son los símbolos marianos que aparecen en la Letanía Lauretana, parte final del rezo del rosario: espejo de virtudes, torre de David, estrella de la mañana, etc. Otro elemento importante de la decoración es el Juan Diego que sostiene el púlpito de madera.10
En 1815 el insurgente José María Morelos se le permitió como última voluntad ir a orar a la Virgen de Guadalupe en este templo antes de ser ejecutado en una población cercana en el actual municipio de Ecatepec de Morelos.
Con las obras de creación del Atrio de las Américas en la década de 1950, el templo pasó de estar inmerso en la traza urbana a encontrarse aislado de ésta, tal como se lo contempla en la actualidad.

La caravane publicitaire
La caravane publicitaire, créée en 1930, s’est développée considérablement au fil des années, pour accueillir plus de 180 véhicules en 2012.
Le défilé d’ouverture, festif et créatif, a su conquérir les marques et le public, jusqu’à devenir une composante essentielle au spectacle du Tour
LCL, qui sera toujours parrain du maillot jaune du leader du classement général du Tour de France, comme c'est le cas depuis 1987.
La caravane publicitaire du Tour Alsace part une heure avant les coureurs. Elle est composée d'une quinzaine de véhicules publicitaires
et suit le parcours officiel du Tour. Elle distribue une multitude de goodies aux spectateurs au bord des routes.
47 % des spectateurs viennent en priorité pour la caravane
Le succès de la formule, avec un défilé de véhicules originaux qui « font de la réclame », en distribuant des cadeaux, est immédiat.
Les premiers annonceurs, comme la Vache qui rit, y gagnent la sympathie du public, qui se prête volontiers au jeu. Quatre-vingts ans plus tard,
la caravane publicitaire est devenue une composante à part entière du spectacle du Tour. Indissociable de la course qu’elle précède, la procession multiforme et multicolore
offre une animation de plus de 45 minutes. Jeunes et moins jeunes commentent sur le bord des routes la taille et l’inventivité des chars ; on s’y presse pour demander des cadeaux…
Au total, une étude réalisée auprès du public du Tour révèle que 47 % des spectateurs sont venus en priorité pour voir la caravane publicitaire.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Teatro Regio di Parma is a famous 19th century opera house and opera company in Parma, Italy. The theatre was originally known as the Teatro Ducale.The construction was begun in 1821 by Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma on the location of the former Monastery of St. Alexander. The design was by Nicola Bettoli. It was inaugurated in 1829 with Vincenzo Bellini's Zaira.The theatre is closely associated with the composer Verdi (who lived in nearby Busseto) and conductor Arturo Toscanini, who was born in Parma.Its season runs from mid-December to mid-April and the company mounts some four productions per year, but since 2004 it has mounted an annual "Festival Verdi" each October with the aim of presenting every Verdi opera by the bi-centennial year of the composer's birth. The Festival includes associated discussions and other relevant presentations.
Il Teatro Regio è un Teatro situato nel centro della città di Parma, precisamente in via Garibaldi ed all'inizio era chiamato "Nuovo Ducale Teatro".La duchessa Maria Luigia, poiché portatrice di una grandissima tradizione musicale, ritenne inappropriato alle sue esigenze il teatro Farnese. Perciò decise di far edificare un teatro adeguato. Nacque così, sul terreno una volta appartenuto al monastero di S. Alessandro e su progetto dell'architetto di corte Nicola Bettoli, il teatro ducale la cui costruzione, che costò 1.190.664 lire, iniziò nel 1821 e si concluse dopo otto anni, nel 1829. Fu inaugurato il 16 maggio 1829, con l’opera lirica Zaira, appositamente composta da Vincenzo Bellini, in presenza della Duchessa.Nel 1853 vennero attuate da Carlo III di Parma delle opere di rifacimento, affidate a Girolamo Magnani. Nello stesso periodo, con la presentazione del rinnovamento del teatro, venne inaugurato il lampadario che è tuttora in uso ed insieme ad esso anche il sistema di illuminazione a gas che sostituì il sistema con candele e lampade ad olio (l'elettricità arrivò solo nel 1890). Nell'Ottocento la sala grande del teatro presentava delle sostanziali differenze rispetto alla struttura attuale: il palcoscenico si spingeva per qualche metro all'interno della sala nel luogo che è indicato come 'proscenio' che oggi è riservato all'orchestra, che a quel tempo occupava la zona designata per le prime file della platea. Nel 1847, con la morte di Maria Luigia e con il passaggio sotto il ducato dei Borboni, il teatro cambia nome, nel 1849 Teatro Reale e poi dal 1860 Teatro Regio.
Parma is a city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna famous for its ham, its cheese, its architecture and the fine countryside around it. This is the home of the University of Parma, one of the oldest universities in the world. Parma is divided into two parts by the little stream with the same name. Parma's Etruscan name was adapted by Romans to describe the round shield called Parma.The Italian poet Attilio Bertolucci (born in a hamlet in the countryside) wrote: "As a capital city it had to have a river. As a little capital it received a stream, which is often dry". The district on the far side of the river is Oltretorrente.
Parma è un comune italiano di 186.000 abitanti, capoluogo dell'omonima provincia in Emilia-Romagna.Antica capitale del ducato di Parma e Piacenza (1545-1859), la città di Parma è sede dell'omonima università.Sul territorio comunale sono presenti numerosi parchi, giardini e aree verdi, alcuni di notevole pregio storico e architettonico. La percentuale di verde urbano sulla superficie comunale è pari all'1,8% (ossia circa 4,68 km²) mentre ammonta a 26,6 m² il verde urbano per ogni abitante.] Il verde fruibile pro-capite nell'area urbana è di 14,57 m² per abitante e la città si è posizionata al 5º posto in Italia ed al 1º in Emilia-Romagna nel rapporto Ecosistema Urbano 2009. A Parma sono censiti 100.000 alberi, 28 milioni di m² di manto erboso, oltre 80 aree gioco per i bimbi allestite e situate in contesti verdi e una quarantina di aree dedicate ai cani.Le aristocratiche tradizioni ed una certa raffinatezza della vita sociale caratterizzano ancor oggi l'anima cittadina che si evidenzia in particolare con la passione dei parmigiani nei confronti della musica e dell'Opera, da secoli molto seguite ed apprezzate da vari strati della popolazione.
Il primo letterato nativo di Parma di cui si abbia notizia fu Gaio Cassio Parmense (I secolo a.C.), appartenente ad una delle famiglie romane fondatrici della città e autore di tragedie ed elegie, ma la storia parmense si è col tempo arricchita del contributo intellettuale di numerosi artisti, poeti e pittori che ne hanno determinato l'intenso fervore nei confronti di multiformi interessi culturali, confermato dalla presenza in città di numerosi teatri, musei, manifestazioni e rassegne internazionali nel campo dell'arte e degli scambi commerciali. Benedetto Antelami, il Parmigianino, il Correggio, Ireneo Affò, Giovanni Battista Bodoni, Ferdinando Paër, Giuseppe Verdi, Arturo Toscanini, Ennemond Alexandre Petitot, Étienne Bonnot, abate di Condillac, Attilio Bertolucci, sono solo alcune delle personalità legate a Parma che hanno lasciato un'impronta importante nelle tradizioni artistiche e culturali cittadine.Parma fu magnificata da Stendhal che la visitò per la prima volta nel 1814 e la sognò nelle pagine della sua "Chartreuse" (La Certosa di Parma); successivamente fu desiderata da Marcel Proust nel suo Du côté de chez Swann (La strada di Swann).Nel XVIII secolo lo sviluppo dell'arte e delle istituzioni cittadine contribuirono a definire Parma "l'Atene d'Italia" mentre oggi, grazie al nuovo ruolo attribuitole all'interno dell'Unione Europea con l'assegnazione di un'importante agenzia comunitaria, la città sta preparando e progettando il proprio futuro in funzione di questa investitura destinata a produrre un processo di internazionalizzazione e crescita sociale e culturale, riaffermando l'antica tradizione di piccola capitale.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After the first World War I the Republic of Austria in Belvedere installed the Austrian Gallery. 1945 suffered the Belvedere severe war damage. In 1950, the "Gold Cabinet" in the north-eastern corner pavilion of the Upper Belvedere was destroyed by fire and replaced by a copy. The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.

Templo ubicado en las cercanías de la falda oriente del cerro del Tepeyac. Fue construido de 1777 a 1791 y diseñado por el arquitecto Francisco Guerrero y Torres.Fue edificado sobre un pozo de aguas consideradas milagrosas, así, pronto comenzaron las peregrinaciones al lugar.10 Gran cantidad de enfermos bebía y lavaba sus heridas en el mismo sitio, por lo que pronto se convirtió en foco de infecciones. Para controlar las epidemias se impidió el acceso directo al pozo y se construyó una techumbre sencilla, pero las peregrinaciones continuaron. Para 1777 se tomó la decisión de construir un templo en el sitio.
El sello particular de esta capilla pequeña, considerada joya arquitectónica del estilo barroco, es su forma pues su planta es la única de base circular o cántrica levantada durante el siglo XVIII que se conserva en México. Este carácter permite que el visitante perciba el espacio poco a poco, como si éste se escondiera. El movimiento que le imprime a la cúpula la decoración en zigzag, lo mismo que las líneas multiformes utilizadas en las ventanas contribuye a crear esta atmósfera de movimiento lento. Todos los símbolos que cargan los angelitos pintados en la cúpula, son los símbolos marianos que aparecen en la Letanía Lauretana, parte final del rezo del rosario: espejo de virtudes, torre de David, estrella de la mañana, etc. Otro elemento importante de la decoración es el Juan Diego que sostiene el púlpito de madera.10
En 1815 el insurgente José María Morelos se le permitió como última voluntad ir a orar a la Virgen de Guadalupe en este templo antes de ser ejecutado en una población cercana en el actual municipio de Ecatepec de Morelos.
Con las obras de creación del Atrio de las Américas en la década de 1950, el templo pasó de estar inmerso en la traza urbana a encontrarse aislado de ésta, tal como se lo contempla en la actualidad.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After the first World War I the Republic of Austria in Belvedere installed the Austrian Gallery. 1945 suffered the Belvedere severe war damage. In 1950, the "Gold Cabinet" in the north-eastern corner pavilion of the Upper Belvedere was destroyed by fire and replaced by a copy. The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.

Marco Mengoni , vincitore incontrastato della terza edizione di 'X Factor'. Presenza scenica da professionista consumato, lunatico, "permaloso quasi antipatico", ha conquistato la stima del pubblico (non è mai finito in ballottaggio per l'eliminazione) grazie a interpretazioni di grande spessore.
Il 4 dicembre 2009 esce “DOVE SI VOLA”, il suo primo Ep, che in poche settimane scala le classifiche di vendita con oltre 70 mila copie.
“Dove si vola”, brano che da il titolo all’Ep, è difficile da interpretare per un uomo, sia per la tonalità molto alta che per l’articolazione della melodia sull’armonia. La forza vocale di Marco regala al pezzo una magia unica che, durante le esibizioni fa letteralmente volare il pubblico, pubblico che l’ha votato e proclamato, quasi fin da subito, il vero talento della terza edizione di X Factor. All’interno dell’EP un altro brano inedito, “Lontanissimo da te”, firmato Massimo e Piero Calabrese e cinque tra le più emozionanti cover cantate da Marco durante il programma.
Marco nasce a Ronciglione (VT) il 25 dicembre 1988 (Capricorno), proprio nel giorno di Natale. Fin da bambino ama tutti i generi musicali: “Alla tenera 'altezza' di 70 cm. comincio ad ascoltare di tutto, dal pop all’r&b, soul, rock ed inizio ad approfondire la mia cultura musicale: scopro il karaoke e comincio a cantare di nascosto, per timidezza. Poi una volta i miei per caso mi ascoltano e si convincono di mandarmi ad una scuola di canto. Da quel momento capisco che la musica non è poi così semplice come pensavo: c'era da imparare molto…. tecniche di respirazione, maschera facciale, scale, vocalizzi di qualsiasi genere, per affinare la voce”.
Marco inizia a cantare all’età di 14 anni. Mentre studia all'Istituto per il Design, segue anche una scuola di canto dove impara le prime tecniche per la gestione e l'utilizzo dei propri mezzi vocali. Visto il talento di Marco, l’insegnante di canto lo inserisce in un piccolo quintetto vocale con cui si esibisce in serate di piazza e per le festività, facendo cover.
Dopo 2 anni ha inizio il suo percorso solista con un gruppo di musicisti con il quale suona nei club un po’ del suo repertorio originale e un po’ di cover, continuando quindi la sua gavetta. Iniziano tre anni di duro lavoro e provinaggio, per affinare lo stile e la personalità, ed anche per questo, Marco, figlio unico, lascia la famiglia per trasferirsi a Roma. Contemporaneamente si iscrive all’Università nella Facoltà di Lingue, e fa esperienza come fonico e programmatore, prendendo familiarità con gli studi di registrazione.
Il suo genere preferito resta il Brit Pop e la sua massima, e amatissima, influenza musicale sono i Beatles: tra le sue canzoni preferite dei Fab 4 ci sono 'Michelle' e 'The Fool on te hill'. Anche se il brano che gli ha cambiato la vita è 'La luce dell’est' di Lucio Battisti.
Vincendo X Factor Marco partecipa di diritto alla Sessantesima Edizione del Festival di Sanremo, nella categoria 'Artisti', interpretando “Credimi ancora”, brano che fa parte dell’EP “Re Matto” uscito il 19 febbraio 2010 su etichetta Rca/Sony Music.
Il 2010 è un anno davvero unico per quest’artista giovane ma pieno di talento. Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song. Grazie alla vittoria come Best Italian Act, Marco è entrato in nomination per il "Best European Act" in concorrenza con gli altri vincitori dei regional act. Marco partecipa inoltre all'ottava edizione di "O'Scia'", insieme ad altre star del pop italiano ed internazionale, organizzata da Claudio Baglioni a Lampedusa in cui si intende sensibilizzare fan, politici e cittadini sul problema della immigrazione clandestina.

A novembre Marco Mengoni, dopo aver trionfato nella categoria Best Italian Act, si aggiudica anche il prestigioso titolo di Best European Act: un premio importante per lui e per l'Italia, considerando che in 17 edizioni nessun italiano era mai riuscito a raggiungere tale riconoscimento.
Il 2 settembre 2011 arriva in radio il singolo “Solo” che, anticipando l’uscita del nuovo disco, schizza alprimo posto della classica di iTunes. Il 27 settembre esce “Solo 2.0”, un vero e proprio concept album, che oltre alle tracce del disco e a un contenuto virtuale speciale (Il Comic 2.0), contamina anche la prima parte del Tour.
Dopo un’anteprima trionfante del “Solo Tour” con due date evento al Forum di Assago e al Palalottomatica di Roma, Marco Mengoni decide di cambiare veste allo spettacolo e di svelare al pubblico un’altra porzione d’anima, il suo lato più intimista, quasi introspettivo, non tralasciando mai la sua voglia di stupire e di emozionare. È un TOUR TEATRALE che fa della suggestione visiva e sonora il suo punto di forza.
Uno spettacolo in cui musica, movimento scenico, luci e scenografie compenetrano tra loro, per toccare ancor più da vicino l’anima di chi ascolta. L’essenza intimista dello spettacolo è rappresentata soprattutto dal suono. Una chiave di lettura inedita, con cui verranno reinterpretati molti tra i brani più noti del repertorio di Marco, insieme ad alcune cover, mai eseguite prima.
Il tour teatrale, ideato da Elisa, Marco Mengoni e Andrea Rigonat, parte dall’Arcimboldi di Milano il 19 aprile, passando dal Filarmonico di Verona, il Politeama di Palermo, il Gran Teatro di Roma e molti dei teatri più importanti d’Italia.
In radio intanto suona il nuovo singolo “Dall’inferno”, estratto dall’album Solo 2.0
Esce il 24 aprile, in esclusiva su iTunes, “Dall’Inferno EP”, l’EP digitale di Marco Mengoni contenente la title track, il videoclip e il backstage inedito di “Dall’inferno” e il video live di “Come ti senti”, girato durante lo showcase di presentazione dell’album “Solo 2.0”.
Marco è ospite dell’evento "Premio Leggio d'Oro", dove gli viene consegnato il Premio Speciale Voce Rivelazione Cartoon per il doppiaggio del personaggio Onceler nel cartone animato "Lorax il guardiano della foresta".
Marco prende parte al progetto "...Io Ci Sono", l'album tributo a Giorgio Gaber che celebra il grande artista a dieci anni dalla sua scomparsa, interpretando il brano "Destra-Sinistra".
Il 2013 si apre con la partecipazione di Marco alla 63^ Edizione del Festival di Sanremo con i brani “Bellissimo” e “L’Essenziale”, ed è proprio con quest’ultimo che Marco si classifica primo vincendo il Festival.
Entrambi i brani sono contenuti nel nuovo album di inediti (Sony Music) uscito il 19 marzo 2013:#PRONTOACORRERE ha superato di gran lunga il traguardo del disco di platino e "L’Essenziale" è addirittura multiplatino.
Marco ha rappresentato l’Italia all’Eurovision Song Contest a Malmö (Svezia) nel mese di maggio, dove ha ottenuto il settimo posto con "L’Essenziale".
L’8 maggio è partito "l’Essenziale Anteprima Tour" dal Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano: un’anteprima di 10 date, ideata per i più importanti teatri italiani che hanno registrato il sold out non appena aperte la prevendite.
Il 4 luglio è partito invece da Trento "L’Essenziale Tour", con un clamoroso successo di richieste, che continua ad imporre l’apertura di nuove date.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After the first World War I the Republic of Austria in Belvedere installed the Austrian Gallery. 1945 suffered the Belvedere severe war damage. In 1950, the "Gold Cabinet" in the north-eastern corner pavilion of the Upper Belvedere was destroyed by fire and replaced by a copy. The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.

Il 24 ottobre al Teatro Sociale di Como, Mika rivisiterà il suo repertorio di successi e proporrà nuove canzoni in chiave sinfonica con l’orchestra “Affinis Consort”, diretta da Simon Leclerc, creata appositamente per l’occasione da 81 professionisti internazionali: 65 strumentisti e 16 coristi.
Lo spettacolo nasce dal desiderio di Mika di replicare in Italia l’incredibile esperienza dei tre concerti sinfonici tenutisi a Montréal lo scorso febbraio, in cui ha confermato la sua versatilità e la qualità del suo repertorio pop, anche in chiave classica.
Il concerto arriva dopo i grandi successi estivi al Fabrique di Milano, al Teatro Antico di Taormina e all’Arena della Regina di Cattolica e le prossime tre date nei palasport di Milano (27 settembre), Roma (29 settembre) e Firenze (30 settembre). Le prevendite per la serata speciale partiranno da giovedì 1 ottobre.
Simon Leclerc è un affermato compositore di colonne sonore per la Paramount e direttore d’orchestra canadese a cui Mika ha affidato l’arrangiamento in chiave classica del suo repertorio. Dopo i concerti di Montreal, Mika ha entusiasticamente dichiarato: “Provenendo io stesso da una formazione professionale classica, per me è straordinario sentire le mie canzoni nelle veste classica che Simon ha dato loro, perché nella mia mente, le ho sempre immaginate così!”
Dal piccolo ensemble alla grande orchestra sinfonica. Dalle fondamenta classiche alle contaminazioni contemporanee e pop.
Affinis Consort racchiude nel suo dna la multiformità del suo essere.
L'unione di mondi, il Canada e l'Italia. Il superamento dei confini geografici e culturali. Il connubio e la condivisione delle esperienze che ogni singolo musicista porta sul palco, elevando le affinità.

C’est dans la ville des rois de France qu’est jugée l’arrivée de la 6e étape, partie d’Arras pour 194kilomètres. Du Nord-Pas-de-Calais à la Champagne-Ardennes,

Dans la zone d’arrivée, sous la houlette du directeur de site, des barrières hautes sont posées autour de la "zone technique",
d’où émettent les camions radio et les télévisions. Doublet travaille depuis un an à la conception de barrières "repousse public" dotées d’arches,

La caravane publicitaire
La caravane publicitaire, créée en 1930, s’est développée considérablement au fil des années, pour accueillir plus de 180 véhicules en 2012.
Le défilé d’ouverture, festif et créatif, a su conquérir les marques et le public, jusqu’à devenir une composante essentielle au spectacle du Tour
LCL, qui sera toujours parrain du maillot jaune du leader du classement général du Tour de France, comme c'est le cas depuis 1987.
La caravane publicitaire du Tour Alsace part une heure avant les coureurs. Elle est composée d'une quinzaine de véhicules publicitaires
et suit le parcours officiel du Tour. Elle distribue une multitude de goodies aux spectateurs au bord des routes.
47 % des spectateurs viennent en priorité pour la caravane
Le succès de la formule, avec un défilé de véhicules originaux qui « font de la réclame », en distribuant des cadeaux, est immédiat.
Les premiers annonceurs, comme la Vache qui rit, y gagnent la sympathie du public, qui se prête volontiers au jeu. Quatre-vingts ans plus tard,
la caravane publicitaire est devenue une composante à part entière du spectacle du Tour. Indissociable de la course qu’elle précède, la procession multiforme et multicolore
offre une animation de plus de 45 minutes. Jeunes et moins jeunes commentent sur le bord des routes la taille et l’inventivité des chars ; on s’y presse pour demander des cadeaux…
Au total, une étude réalisée auprès du public du Tour révèle que 47 % des spectateurs sont venus en priorité pour voir la caravane publicitaire.

Marco Mengoni , vincitore incontrastato della terza edizione di 'X Factor'. Presenza scenica da professionista consumato, lunatico, "permaloso quasi antipatico", ha conquistato la stima del pubblico (non è mai finito in ballottaggio per l'eliminazione) grazie a interpretazioni di grande spessore.
Il 4 dicembre 2009 esce “DOVE SI VOLA”, il suo primo Ep, che in poche settimane scala le classifiche di vendita con oltre 70 mila copie.
“Dove si vola”, brano che da il titolo all’Ep, è difficile da interpretare per un uomo, sia per la tonalità molto alta che per l’articolazione della melodia sull’armonia. La forza vocale di Marco regala al pezzo una magia unica che, durante le esibizioni fa letteralmente volare il pubblico, pubblico che l’ha votato e proclamato, quasi fin da subito, il vero talento della terza edizione di X Factor. All’interno dell’EP un altro brano inedito, “Lontanissimo da te”, firmato Massimo e Piero Calabrese e cinque tra le più emozionanti cover cantate da Marco durante il programma.
Marco nasce a Ronciglione (VT) il 25 dicembre 1988 (Capricorno), proprio nel giorno di Natale. Fin da bambino ama tutti i generi musicali: “Alla tenera 'altezza' di 70 cm. comincio ad ascoltare di tutto, dal pop all’r&b, soul, rock ed inizio ad approfondire la mia cultura musicale: scopro il karaoke e comincio a cantare di nascosto, per timidezza. Poi una volta i miei per caso mi ascoltano e si convincono di mandarmi ad una scuola di canto. Da quel momento capisco che la musica non è poi così semplice come pensavo: c'era da imparare molto…. tecniche di respirazione, maschera facciale, scale, vocalizzi di qualsiasi genere, per affinare la voce”.
Marco inizia a cantare all’età di 14 anni. Mentre studia all'Istituto per il Design, segue anche una scuola di canto dove impara le prime tecniche per la gestione e l'utilizzo dei propri mezzi vocali. Visto il talento di Marco, l’insegnante di canto lo inserisce in un piccolo quintetto vocale con cui si esibisce in serate di piazza e per le festività, facendo cover.
Dopo 2 anni ha inizio il suo percorso solista con un gruppo di musicisti con il quale suona nei club un po’ del suo repertorio originale e un po’ di cover, continuando quindi la sua gavetta. Iniziano tre anni di duro lavoro e provinaggio, per affinare lo stile e la personalità, ed anche per questo, Marco, figlio unico, lascia la famiglia per trasferirsi a Roma. Contemporaneamente si iscrive all’Università nella Facoltà di Lingue, e fa esperienza come fonico e programmatore, prendendo familiarità con gli studi di registrazione.
Il suo genere preferito resta il Brit Pop e la sua massima, e amatissima, influenza musicale sono i Beatles: tra le sue canzoni preferite dei Fab 4 ci sono 'Michelle' e 'The Fool on te hill'. Anche se il brano che gli ha cambiato la vita è 'La luce dell’est' di Lucio Battisti.
Vincendo X Factor Marco partecipa di diritto alla Sessantesima Edizione del Festival di Sanremo, nella categoria 'Artisti', interpretando “Credimi ancora”, brano che fa parte dell’EP “Re Matto” uscito il 19 febbraio 2010 su etichetta Rca/Sony Music.
Il 2010 è un anno davvero unico per quest’artista giovane ma pieno di talento. Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song.

Marco Mengoni , vincitore incontrastato della terza edizione di 'X Factor'. Presenza scenica da professionista consumato, lunatico, "permaloso quasi antipatico", ha conquistato la stima del pubblico (non è mai finito in ballottaggio per l'eliminazione) grazie a interpretazioni di grande spessore.
Il 4 dicembre 2009 esce “DOVE SI VOLA”, il suo primo Ep, che in poche settimane scala le classifiche di vendita con oltre 70 mila copie.
“Dove si vola”, brano che da il titolo all’Ep, è difficile da interpretare per un uomo, sia per la tonalità molto alta che per l’articolazione della melodia sull’armonia. La forza vocale di Marco regala al pezzo una magia unica che, durante le esibizioni fa letteralmente volare il pubblico, pubblico che l’ha votato e proclamato, quasi fin da subito, il vero talento della terza edizione di X Factor. All’interno dell’EP un altro brano inedito, “Lontanissimo da te”, firmato Massimo e Piero Calabrese e cinque tra le più emozionanti cover cantate da Marco durante il programma.
Marco nasce a Ronciglione (VT) il 25 dicembre 1988 (Capricorno), proprio nel giorno di Natale. Fin da bambino ama tutti i generi musicali: “Alla tenera 'altezza' di 70 cm. comincio ad ascoltare di tutto, dal pop all’r&b, soul, rock ed inizio ad approfondire la mia cultura musicale: scopro il karaoke e comincio a cantare di nascosto, per timidezza. Poi una volta i miei per caso mi ascoltano e si convincono di mandarmi ad una scuola di canto. Da quel momento capisco che la musica non è poi così semplice come pensavo: c'era da imparare molto…. tecniche di respirazione, maschera facciale, scale, vocalizzi di qualsiasi genere, per affinare la voce”.
Marco inizia a cantare all’età di 14 anni. Mentre studia all'Istituto per il Design, segue anche una scuola di canto dove impara le prime tecniche per la gestione e l'utilizzo dei propri mezzi vocali. Visto il talento di Marco, l’insegnante di canto lo inserisce in un piccolo quintetto vocale con cui si esibisce in serate di piazza e per le festività, facendo cover.
Dopo 2 anni ha inizio il suo percorso solista con un gruppo di musicisti con il quale suona nei club un po’ del suo repertorio originale e un po’ di cover, continuando quindi la sua gavetta. Iniziano tre anni di duro lavoro e provinaggio, per affinare lo stile e la personalità, ed anche per questo, Marco, figlio unico, lascia la famiglia per trasferirsi a Roma. Contemporaneamente si iscrive all’Università nella Facoltà di Lingue, e fa esperienza come fonico e programmatore, prendendo familiarità con gli studi di registrazione.
Il suo genere preferito resta il Brit Pop e la sua massima, e amatissima, influenza musicale sono i Beatles: tra le sue canzoni preferite dei Fab 4 ci sono 'Michelle' e 'The Fool on te hill'. Anche se il brano che gli ha cambiato la vita è 'La luce dell’est' di Lucio Battisti.
Vincendo X Factor Marco partecipa di diritto alla Sessantesima Edizione del Festival di Sanremo, nella categoria 'Artisti', interpretando “Credimi ancora”, brano che fa parte dell’EP “Re Matto” uscito il 19 febbraio 2010 su etichetta Rca/Sony Music.
Il 2010 è un anno davvero unico per quest’artista giovane ma pieno di talento. Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song. Grazie alla vittoria come Best Italian Act, Marco è entrato in nomination per il "Best European Act" in concorrenza con gli altri vincitori dei regional act. Marco partecipa inoltre all'ottava edizione di "O'Scia'", insieme ad altre star del pop italiano ed internazionale, organizzata da Claudio Baglioni a Lampedusa in cui si intende sensibilizzare fan, politici e cittadini sul problema della immigrazione clandestina.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
After the first World War I the Republic of Austria in Belvedere installed the Austrian Gallery. 1945 suffered the Belvedere severe war damage. In 1950, the "Gold Cabinet" in the north-eastern corner pavilion of the Upper Belvedere was destroyed by fire and replaced by a copy. The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.

After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."

"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had.

The since 1988 ongoing general renovation should have been completed in 1996.

Teatro Regio di Parma is a famous 19th century opera house and opera company in Parma, Italy. The theatre was originally known as the Teatro Ducale.The construction was begun in 1821 by Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma on the location of the former Monastery of St. Alexander. The design was by Nicola Bettoli. It was inaugurated in 1829 with Vincenzo Bellini's Zaira.The theatre is closely associated with the composer Verdi (who lived in nearby Busseto) and conductor Arturo Toscanini, who was born in Parma.Its season runs from mid-December to mid-April and the company mounts some four productions per year, but since 2004 it has mounted an annual "Festival Verdi" each October with the aim of presenting every Verdi opera by the bi-centennial year of the composer's birth. The Festival includes associated discussions and other relevant presentations.
Il Teatro Regio è un Teatro situato nel centro della città di Parma, precisamente in via Garibaldi ed all'inizio era chiamato "Nuovo Ducale Teatro".La duchessa Maria Luigia, poiché portatrice di una grandissima tradizione musicale, ritenne inappropriato alle sue esigenze il teatro Farnese. Perciò decise di far edificare un teatro adeguato. Nacque così, sul terreno una volta appartenuto al monastero di S. Alessandro e su progetto dell'architetto di corte Nicola Bettoli, il teatro ducale la cui costruzione, che costò 1.190.664 lire, iniziò nel 1821 e si concluse dopo otto anni, nel 1829. Fu inaugurato il 16 maggio 1829, con l’opera lirica Zaira, appositamente composta da Vincenzo Bellini, in presenza della Duchessa.Nel 1853 vennero attuate da Carlo III di Parma delle opere di rifacimento, affidate a Girolamo Magnani. Nello stesso periodo, con la presentazione del rinnovamento del teatro, venne inaugurato il lampadario che è tuttora in uso ed insieme ad esso anche il sistema di illuminazione a gas che sostituì il sistema con candele e lampade ad olio (l'elettricità arrivò solo nel 1890). Nell'Ottocento la sala grande del teatro presentava delle sostanziali differenze rispetto alla struttura attuale: il palcoscenico si spingeva per qualche metro all'interno della sala nel luogo che è indicato come 'proscenio' che oggi è riservato all'orchestra, che a quel tempo occupava la zona designata per le prime file della platea. Nel 1847, con la morte di Maria Luigia e con il passaggio sotto il ducato dei Borboni, il teatro cambia nome, nel 1849 Teatro Reale e poi dal 1860 Teatro Regio.
Parma is a city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna famous for its ham, its cheese, its architecture and the fine countryside around it. This is the home of the University of Parma, one of the oldest universities in the world. Parma is divided into two parts by the little stream with the same name. Parma's Etruscan name was adapted by Romans to describe the round shield called Parma.The Italian poet Attilio Bertolucci (born in a hamlet in the countryside) wrote: "As a capital city it had to have a river. As a little capital it received a stream, which is often dry". The district on the far side of the river is Oltretorrente.
Parma è un comune italiano di 186.000 abitanti, capoluogo dell'omonima provincia in Emilia-Romagna.Antica capitale del ducato di Parma e Piacenza (1545-1859), la città di Parma è sede dell'omonima università.Sul territorio comunale sono presenti numerosi parchi, giardini e aree verdi, alcuni di notevole pregio storico e architettonico. La percentuale di verde urbano sulla superficie comunale è pari all'1,8% (ossia circa 4,68 km²) mentre ammonta a 26,6 m² il verde urbano per ogni abitante.] Il verde fruibile pro-capite nell'area urbana è di 14,57 m² per abitante e la città si è posizionata al 5º posto in Italia ed al 1º in Emilia-Romagna nel rapporto Ecosistema Urbano 2009. A Parma sono censiti 100.000 alberi, 28 milioni di m² di manto erboso, oltre 80 aree gioco per i bimbi allestite e situate in contesti verdi e una quarantina di aree dedicate ai cani.Le aristocratiche tradizioni ed una certa raffinatezza della vita sociale caratterizzano ancor oggi l'anima cittadina che si evidenzia in particolare con la passione dei parmigiani nei confronti della musica e dell'Opera, da secoli molto seguite ed apprezzate da vari strati della popolazione.
Il primo letterato nativo di Parma di cui si abbia notizia fu Gaio Cassio Parmense (I secolo a.C.), appartenente ad una delle famiglie romane fondatrici della città e autore di tragedie ed elegie, ma la storia parmense si è col tempo arricchita del contributo intellettuale di numerosi artisti, poeti e pittori che ne hanno determinato l'intenso fervore nei confronti di multiformi interessi culturali, confermato dalla presenza in città di numerosi teatri, musei, manifestazioni e rassegne internazionali nel campo dell'arte e degli scambi commerciali. Benedetto Antelami, il Parmigianino, il Correggio, Ireneo Affò, Giovanni Battista Bodoni, Ferdinando Paër, Giuseppe Verdi, Arturo Toscanini, Ennemond Alexandre Petitot, Étienne Bonnot, abate di Condillac, Attilio Bertolucci, sono solo alcune delle personalità legate a Parma che hanno lasciato un'impronta importante nelle tradizioni artistiche e culturali cittadine.Parma fu magnificata da Stendhal che la visitò per la prima volta nel 1814 e la sognò nelle pagine della sua "Chartreuse" (La Certosa di Parma); successivamente fu desiderata da Marcel Proust nel suo Du côté de chez Swann (La strada di Swann).Nel XVIII secolo lo sviluppo dell'arte e delle istituzioni cittadine contribuirono a definire Parma "l'Atene d'Italia" mentre oggi, grazie al nuovo ruolo attribuitole all'interno dell'Unione Europea con l'assegnazione di un'importante agenzia comunitaria, la città sta preparando e progettando il proprio futuro in funzione di questa investitura destinata a produrre un processo di internazionalizzazione e crescita sociale e culturale, riaffermando l'antica tradizione di piccola capitale.

Marco Mengoni , vincitore incontrastato della terza edizione di 'X Factor'. Presenza scenica da professionista consumato, lunatico, "permaloso quasi antipatico", ha conquistato la stima del pubblico (non è mai finito in ballottaggio per l'eliminazione) grazie a interpretazioni di grande spessore.
Il 4 dicembre 2009 esce “DOVE SI VOLA”, il suo primo Ep, che in poche settimane scala le classifiche di vendita con oltre 70 mila copie.
“Dove si vola”, brano che da il titolo all’Ep, è difficile da interpretare per un uomo, sia per la tonalità molto alta che per l’articolazione della melodia sull’armonia. La forza vocale di Marco regala al pezzo una magia unica che, durante le esibizioni fa letteralmente volare il pubblico, pubblico che l’ha votato e proclamato, quasi fin da subito, il vero talento della terza edizione di X Factor. All’interno dell’EP un altro brano inedito, “Lontanissimo da te”, firmato Massimo e Piero Calabrese e cinque tra le più emozionanti cover cantate da Marco durante il programma.
Marco nasce a Ronciglione (VT) il 25 dicembre 1988 (Capricorno), proprio nel giorno di Natale. Fin da bambino ama tutti i generi musicali: “Alla tenera 'altezza' di 70 cm. comincio ad ascoltare di tutto, dal pop all’r&b, soul, rock ed inizio ad approfondire la mia cultura musicale: scopro il karaoke e comincio a cantare di nascosto, per timidezza. Poi una volta i miei per caso mi ascoltano e si convincono di mandarmi ad una scuola di canto. Da quel momento capisco che la musica non è poi così semplice come pensavo: c'era da imparare molto…. tecniche di respirazione, maschera facciale, scale, vocalizzi di qualsiasi genere, per affinare la voce”.
Marco inizia a cantare all’età di 14 anni. Mentre studia all'Istituto per il Design, segue anche una scuola di canto dove impara le prime tecniche per la gestione e l'utilizzo dei propri mezzi vocali. Visto il talento di Marco, l’insegnante di canto lo inserisce in un piccolo quintetto vocale con cui si esibisce in serate di piazza e per le festività, facendo cover.
Dopo 2 anni ha inizio il suo percorso solista con un gruppo di musicisti con il quale suona nei club un po’ del suo repertorio originale e un po’ di cover, continuando quindi la sua gavetta. Iniziano tre anni di duro lavoro e provinaggio, per affinare lo stile e la personalità, ed anche per questo, Marco, figlio unico, lascia la famiglia per trasferirsi a Roma. Contemporaneamente si iscrive all’Università nella Facoltà di Lingue, e fa esperienza come fonico e programmatore, prendendo familiarità con gli studi di registrazione.
Il suo genere preferito resta il Brit Pop e la sua massima, e amatissima, influenza musicale sono i Beatles: tra le sue canzoni preferite dei Fab 4 ci sono 'Michelle' e 'The Fool on te hill'. Anche se il brano che gli ha cambiato la vita è 'La luce dell’est' di Lucio Battisti.
Vincendo X Factor Marco partecipa di diritto alla Sessantesima Edizione del Festival di Sanremo, nella categoria 'Artisti', interpretando “Credimi ancora”, brano che fa parte dell’EP “Re Matto” uscito il 19 febbraio 2010 su etichetta Rca/Sony Music.
Il 2010 è un anno davvero unico per quest’artista giovane ma pieno di talento. Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song. Grazie alla vittoria come Best Italian Act, Marco è entrato in nomination per il "Best European Act" in concorrenza con gli altri vincitori dei regional act. Marco partecipa inoltre all'ottava edizione di "O'Scia'", insieme ad altre star del pop italiano ed internazionale, organizzata da Claudio Baglioni a Lampedusa in cui si intende sensibilizzare fan, politici e cittadini sul problema della immigrazione clandestina.
Il 19 ottobre esce su etichetta Rca/Sony Music il Cd+Dvd “Re Matto live”. L’album debutta al 1° posto della classifica dei dischi più venduti (Gfk/Fimi) e al 1° posto della classifica di iTunes.
A novembre Marco Mengoni, dopo aver trionfato nella categoria Best Italian Act, si aggiudica anche il prestigioso titolo di Best European Act: un premio importante per lui e per l'Italia, considerando che in 17 edizioni nessun italiano era mai riuscito a raggiungere tale riconoscimento.
Il 2 settembre 2011 arriva in radio il singolo “Solo” che, anticipando l’uscita del nuovo disco, schizza alprimo posto della classica di iTunes. Il 27 settembre esce “Solo 2.0”, un vero e proprio concept album, che oltre alle tracce del disco e a un contenuto virtuale speciale (Il Comic 2.0), contamina anche la prima parte del Tour.
Dopo un’anteprima trionfante del “Solo Tour” con due date evento al Forum di Assago e al Palalottomatica di Roma, Marco Mengoni decide di cambiare veste allo spettacolo e di svelare al pubblico un’altra porzione d’anima, il suo lato più intimista, quasi introspettivo, non tralasciando mai la sua voglia di stupire e di emozionare. È un TOUR TEATRALE che fa della suggestione visiva e sonora il suo punto di forza.
Uno spettacolo in cui musica, movimento scenico, luci e scenografie compenetrano tra loro, per toccare ancor più da vicino l’anima di chi ascolta. L’essenza intimista dello spettacolo è rappresentata soprattutto dal suono. Una chiave di lettura inedita, con cui verranno reinterpretati molti tra i brani più noti del repertorio di Marco, insieme ad alcune cover, mai eseguite prima.
Il tour teatrale, ideato da Elisa, Marco Mengoni e Andrea Rigonat, parte dall’Arcimboldi di Milano il 19 aprile, passando dal Filarmonico di Verona, il Politeama di Palermo, il Gran Teatro di Roma e molti dei teatri più importanti d’Italia.
In radio intanto suona il nuovo singolo “Dall’inferno”, estratto dall’album Solo 2.0
Esce il 24 aprile, in esclusiva su iTunes, “Dall’Inferno EP”, l’EP digitale di Marco Mengoni contenente la title track, il videoclip e il backstage inedito di “Dall’inferno” e il video live di “Come ti senti”, girato durante lo showcase di presentazione dell’album “Solo 2.0”.
Marco è ospite dell’evento "Premio Leggio d'Oro", dove gli viene consegnato il Premio Speciale Voce Rivelazione Cartoon per il doppiaggio del personaggio Onceler nel cartone animato "Lorax il guardiano della foresta".
Marco prende parte al progetto "...Io Ci Sono", l'album tributo a Giorgio Gaber che celebra il grande artista a dieci anni dalla sua scomparsa, interpretando il brano "Destra-Sinistra".
Il 2013 si apre con la partecipazione di Marco alla 63^ Edizione del Festival di Sanremo con i brani “Bellissimo” e “L’Essenziale”, ed è proprio con quest’ultimo che Marco si classifica primo vincendo il Festival.
Entrambi i brani sono contenuti nel nuovo album di inediti (Sony Music) uscito il 19 marzo 2013:#PRONTOACORRERE ha superato di gran lunga il traguardo del disco di platino e "L’Essenziale" è addirittura multiplatino.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Denomination of the summer residence which Prince Eugene of Savoy himself had erected btw Rennweg and Swiss Garden. The term which refers to the unique view over Vienna dates from the time of Maria Theresa. Prinz Eugen bought in 1697 a plot of land at the Rennweg, which he extended to 1721 in four stages to the current area. Between 1714 and 1716 emerged the Lower Belvedere It is an elongated ground floor building, designed of a 7-axes central projection, two wings and two corner pavilions. The 3-axis central pavilion houses the Marble Hall. The castle the only rarely in Vienna sojourning builder served during the summer months as a pleasure palace.
Only in 1720 commenced construction works for the Upper Belvedere, first drawings for this existed already in 1717. The in it extent and form language compared to the Lower Belvedere especially magnificent Upper Belvedere served primarily as a representative setting for grand receptions and festivities. The architectural history of the example due to the loss of the Eugenianischen Bauarchivs (construction archiv of Prince Eugene) cannot be explored in detail without any gaps. 1723 (according to Rizzi 1721/22) the Upper Belvedere s is considered complete. The architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, who repeatedly worked for Prince Eugen, with the construction of the Belvedere has created his main work. It counts in its multiform architectonic as well as sculptural structure to the most important baroque buildings of the 18th century. The to the ensemble belonging, btw Upper and Lower Belvedere laying garden has been created by the Bavarian horticultural engineer D. Girard and today only in broad terms is original. The designs for the interior of the castle stem from C. le Fort du Plessy.
After the death of the prince the belvedere went into the possession of his sole heiress, Victoria Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. She sold it in 1752 to Maria Theresa. At the behest of Joseph II from 1775 the imperial picture gallery was transferred here, which in 1781 for the first time was open to the public. had. Since 1806 was located in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection. Both collections were in 1890 in the Museum of Art History transferred. In 1894, the palace became residence for the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

ANE GRAFF is a passionate draftswoman. She practises drawing as an extremely time-consuming, almost meditative process that centres on her contemplation of the poetry of scientific research and the nature of matter per se. Ane Graff’s fine drawings with meticulously realised details use graphite pencil to reveal the surfaces and structures of organic matter – birds’ feathers, divots of turf, a tree’s branches and twigs – or the coral-like ramifications of natural silver and different types of stones. The artist’s interest has been attracted by multiform layers of broken slate in particular. In her drawings, Graff likes to develop the similarity of structures from completely different fields of nature.
Older works by Graff echo still-life paintings by 17th century Dutch artists, in which the forest floor is depicted as the habitat of evil forces – often embodied by reptiles or insects –, combined with symbols of Christian redemption.
In her more recent works, Graff has advanced from capturing stones and other natural forms on paper, and also collects them outside and presents them in the form of sculptural ensembles. Thus, for example, she has laid out a huge number of fine and even finer slate fragments to create a large-format floor work – a futher development of the graphic idea that recalls, in this form, artworks of Land Art and yet, if one were to observe the installation from high above, it would re-adopt the aspect of a drawing.
"Southwell Minster (/ˈsʌðəl, ˈsaʊθwɛl/) is a minster and cathedral, in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England. It is situated six miles from Newark-on-Trent and thirteen miles from Mansfield. It is the seat of the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham and the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.
In 1884 Southwell Minster became a cathedral proper for Nottinghamshire and a part of Derbyshire including the city of Derby:126–127. The diocese was divided in 1927 and the Diocese of Derby was formed. The diocese's centenary was commemorated by a royal visit to distribute Maundy money. George Ridding, the first Bishop of Southwell, designed and paid for the grant of Arms now used as the diocesan coat of arms.
The nave, transepts, central tower and two western towers of the Norman church which replaced the Saxon minster remain as an outstanding achievement of severe Romanesque design. With the exception of fragments mentioned above, they are the oldest part of the existing church.
The Nave is of seven bays, plus a separated western bay. The columns of the arcade are short and circular, with small scalloped capitals. The triforium has a single large arch in each bay. The clerestory has small round-headed windows. The external window openings are circular. There is a tunnel-vaulted passage between the inside and outside window openings of the clerestory. The nave aisles are vaulted, the main roof of the nave is a trussed rafter roof, with tie-beams between each bay – a late C19 replacement.
By contrast with the nave arcade, the arches of the crossing are tall, rising to nearly the full height of the nave walls. The capitals of the east crossing piers depict scenes from the life of Jesus. Two stages of the inside of the central tower can be seen at the crossing, with cable and wave decoration on the lower order and zigzag on the upper. The transepts have three stories with semi-circular arches, like the nave, but without aisles.
The western facade has pyramidal spires on its towers – a unique feature today, though common in the C12. The existing spires date only from 1880, but they replace those destroyed by fire in 1711, which are documented in old illustrations. The large west window dates from the C15. The central tower's two ornamental stages place it high among England's surviving Norman towers. The lower order has intersecting arches, the upper order plain arches. The north porch has a tunnel vault, and is decorated with intersecting arches.
The choir is Early English in style, and was completed in 1241. It has transepts, thus separating the choir into a western and eastern arm. The choir is of two stories, with no gallery or triforium. The lower storey has clustered columns with multiform pointed arches, the upper storey has twin lancet arches in each bay. The rib vault of the choir springs from clustered shafts which rest on corbels. The vault has ridge ribs. The square east end of the choir has two stories each of four lancet windows.
Southwell (/ˈsaʊθwɛl, ˈsʌðəl/) is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, the site of Southwell Minster, the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. A population of under 7,000 rose to 7,297 at the 2011 Census. The origin of the name is unclear. It lies on the River Greet, about 14 miles (22 km) north-east of Nottingham. Other historic buildings include prebendal houses in Church Street and Westgate and the Methodist church, which has a right of way beneath it, so that the upper floor seats more than the lower. The workhouse (1824) was a prototype for many others. Owned by the National Trust, it shows its appearance in the 19th century. Behind the Minster is a partly ruined palace, once a residence of the Archbishop of York. It includes the recently restored State Chamber, Cardinal Wolsey's former dining room, and gardens among the ruins." - info from Wikipedia.

Marco Mengoni , vincitore incontrastato della terza edizione di 'X Factor'. Presenza scenica da professionista consumato, lunatico, "permaloso quasi antipatico", ha conquistato la stima del pubblico (non è mai finito in ballottaggio per l'eliminazione) grazie a interpretazioni di grande spessore.
Il 4 dicembre 2009 esce “DOVE SI VOLA”, il suo primo Ep, che in poche settimane scala le classifiche di vendita con oltre 70 mila copie.
“Dove si vola”, brano che da il titolo all’Ep, è difficile da interpretare per un uomo, sia per la tonalità molto alta che per l’articolazione della melodia sull’armonia. La forza vocale di Marco regala al pezzo una magia unica che, durante le esibizioni fa letteralmente volare il pubblico, pubblico che l’ha votato e proclamato, quasi fin da subito, il vero talento della terza edizione di X Factor. All’interno dell’EP un altro brano inedito, “Lontanissimo da te”, firmato Massimo e Piero Calabrese e cinque tra le più emozionanti cover cantate da Marco durante il programma.
Marco nasce a Ronciglione (VT) il 25 dicembre 1988 (Capricorno), proprio nel giorno di Natale. Fin da bambino ama tutti i generi musicali: “Alla tenera 'altezza' di 70 cm. comincio ad ascoltare di tutto, dal pop all’r&b, soul, rock ed inizio ad approfondire la mia cultura musicale: scopro il karaoke e comincio a cantare di nascosto, per timidezza. Poi una volta i miei per caso mi ascoltano e si convincono di mandarmi ad una scuola di canto. Da quel momento capisco che la musica non è poi così semplice come pensavo: c'era da imparare molto…. tecniche di respirazione, maschera facciale, scale, vocalizzi di qualsiasi genere, per affinare la voce”.
Marco inizia a cantare all’età di 14 anni. Mentre studia all'Istituto per il Design, segue anche una scuola di canto dove impara le prime tecniche per la gestione e l'utilizzo dei propri mezzi vocali. Visto il talento di Marco, l’insegnante di canto lo inserisce in un piccolo quintetto vocale con cui si esibisce in serate di piazza e per le festività, facendo cover.
Dopo 2 anni ha inizio il suo percorso solista con un gruppo di musicisti con il quale suona nei club un po’ del suo repertorio originale e un po’ di cover, continuando quindi la sua gavetta. Iniziano tre anni di duro lavoro e provinaggio, per affinare lo stile e la personalità, ed anche per questo, Marco, figlio unico, lascia la famiglia per trasferirsi a Roma. Contemporaneamente si iscrive all’Università nella Facoltà di Lingue, e fa esperienza come fonico e programmatore, prendendo familiarità con gli studi di registrazione.
Il suo genere preferito resta il Brit Pop e la sua massima, e amatissima, influenza musicale sono i Beatles: tra le sue canzoni preferite dei Fab 4 ci sono 'Michelle' e 'The Fool on te hill'. Anche se il brano che gli ha cambiato la vita è 'La luce dell’est' di Lucio Battisti.
Vincendo X Factor Marco partecipa di diritto alla Sessantesima Edizione del Festival di Sanremo, nella categoria 'Artisti', interpretando “Credimi ancora”, brano che fa parte dell’EP “Re Matto” uscito il 19 febbraio 2010 su etichetta Rca/Sony Music.
Il 2010 è un anno davvero unico per quest’artista giovane ma pieno di talento. Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song. Grazie alla vittoria come Best Italian Act, Marco è entrato in nomination per il "Best European Act" in concorrenza con gli altri vincitori dei regional act. Marco partecipa inoltre all'ottava edizione di "O'Scia'", insieme ad altre star del pop italiano ed internazionale, organizzata da Claudio Baglioni a Lampedusa in cui si intende sensibilizzare fan, politici e cittadini sul problema della immigrazione clandestina.
Il 19 ottobre esce su etichetta Rca/Sony Music il Cd+Dvd “Re Matto live”. L’album debutta al 1° posto della classifica dei dischi più venduti (Gfk/Fimi) e al 1° posto della classifica di iTunes.
A novembre Marco Mengoni, dopo aver trionfato nella categoria Best Italian Act, si aggiudica anche il prestigioso titolo di Best European Act: un premio importante per lui e per l'Italia, considerando che in 17 edizioni nessun italiano era mai riuscito a raggiungere tale riconoscimento.
Il 2 settembre 2011 arriva in radio il singolo “Solo” che, anticipando l’uscita del nuovo disco, schizza alprimo posto della classica di iTunes. Il 27 settembre esce “Solo 2.0”, un vero e proprio concept album, che oltre alle tracce del disco e a un contenuto virtuale speciale (Il Comic 2.0), contamina anche la prima parte del Tour.
Dopo un’anteprima trionfante del “Solo Tour” con due date evento al Forum di Assago e al Palalottomatica di Roma, Marco Mengoni decide di cambiare veste allo spettacolo e di svelare al pubblico un’altra porzione d’anima, il suo lato più intimista, quasi introspettivo, non tralasciando mai la sua voglia di stupire e di emozionare. È un TOUR TEATRALE che fa della suggestione visiva e sonora il suo punto di forza.
Uno spettacolo in cui musica, movimento scenico, luci e scenografie compenetrano tra loro, per toccare ancor più da vicino l’anima di chi ascolta. L’essenza intimista dello spettacolo è rappresentata soprattutto dal suono. Una chiave di lettura inedita, con cui verranno reinterpretati molti tra i brani più noti del repertorio di Marco, insieme ad alcune cover, mai eseguite prima.
Il tour teatrale, ideato da Elisa, Marco Mengoni e Andrea Rigonat, parte dall’Arcimboldi di Milano il 19 aprile, passando dal Filarmonico di Verona, il Politeama di Palermo, il Gran Teatro di Roma e molti dei teatri più importanti d’Italia.
In radio intanto suona il nuovo singolo “Dall’inferno”, estratto dall’album Solo 2.0
Esce il 24 aprile, in esclusiva su iTunes, “Dall’Inferno EP”, l’EP digitale di Marco Mengoni contenente la title track, il videoclip e il backstage inedito di “Dall’inferno” e il video live di “Come ti senti”, girato durante lo showcase di presentazione dell’album “Solo 2.0”.
Marco è ospite dell’evento "Premio Leggio d'Oro", dove gli viene consegnato il Premio Speciale Voce Rivelazione Cartoon per il doppiaggio del personaggio Onceler nel cartone animato "Lorax il guardiano della foresta".
Marco prende parte al progetto "...Io Ci Sono", l'album tributo a Giorgio Gaber che celebra il grande artista a dieci anni dalla sua scomparsa, interpretando il brano "Destra-Sinistra".
Il 2013 si apre con la partecipazione di Marco alla 63^ Edizione del Festival di Sanremo con i brani “Bellissimo” e “L’Essenziale”, ed è proprio con quest’ultimo che Marco si classifica primo vincendo il Festival.
Entrambi i brani sono contenuti nel nuovo album di inediti (Sony Music) uscito il 19 marzo 2013:#PRONTOACORRERE ha superato di gran lunga il traguardo del disco di platino e "L’Essenziale" è addirittura multiplatino.
Marco ha rappresentato l’Italia all’Eurovision Song Contest a Malmö (Svezia) nel mese di maggio, dove ha ottenuto il settimo posto con "L’Essenziale".
L’8 maggio è partito "l’Essenziale Anteprima Tour" dal Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano: un’anteprima di 10 date, ideata per i più importanti teatri italiani che hanno registrato il sold out non appena aperte la prevendite.
Il 4 luglio è partito invece da Trento "L’Essenziale Tour", con un clamoroso successo di richieste, che continua ad imporre l’apertura di nuove date.

Mentre la sua paginaFacebook continua a crescere (superando ad oggi i 300 mila iscritti), Il 3 e 4 maggio parte dall’Alcatraz di Milano Il “Re Matto Tour, un viaggio nella “Mattità”, un’avventura vertiginosa nella mente colorata e multiforme di MARCO MENGONI. Lo spettacolo nasce da un’ idea di Marco, Luca Tommassini e Stella Fabiani. La regia è affidata a LUCA TOMMASSINI, la direzione artistica è di PIERO CALABRESE, la produzione è di F&P Group e dei “CANTIERI MUSICALI” che da sempre lavorano con MENGONI. Nel team creativo di Marco e del “RE MATTO TOUR” sono state coinvolte figure importanti a livello mondiale come lo stilista Neil Barrett, che finora ha solo disegnato abiti per artisti come Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt e Johnny Depp, e lo scultore Davide Orlandi Dormino, creatore di “Opera Scacchi”, la scultura che invade il palco. “IL RE MATTO TOUR” è ideato, sviluppato e strutturato all’insegna della totale libertà, della poesia, della sregolatezza e dell’improvvisazione rendendo ogni concerto un vero evento, con ospiti a sorpresa cheMARCO scopre insieme al pubblico…una sfida che solo un Re Matto poteva accettare.
Intanto l’8 maggio Marco partecipa ai Trl Awards e vince nella categoria “Man of the Year”.
Il “Re Matto tour” è un’esperienza straordinaria per Marco, che vive e si ciba dell’entusiasmo del pubblico. È un tour trionfale che colleziona un sold out dopo l’altro.
Il 2 giugno viene premiato ai Wind Music Awards e si aggiudica il doppio disco di platino per il suo primo Ep “Dove si vola”, che raccoglie l’omonima canzone e alcune delle cover cantate durante il programma di X Factor, e l’album “Re Matto”, superando le 160 mila copie vendute.
Il "Re Matto" del pop italiano non si fa mancare proprio nulla. Supera gli altri colleghi in gara agli Ema 2010 nella categoria dedicata agli artisti italiani: Malika Ayane, dARi, Sonohra e Nina Zilli.
Questo è un riconoscimento fondamentale per Marco Mengoni, artista italiano rivelazione del 2010, che ad MTV si è già aggiudicato il premio come "Man Of The Year" ai TRL Awards 2010 ed è arrivato secondo in una gara all'ultima edizione del Coca Cola Live @ MTV: The Summer Song. Grazie alla vittoria come Best Italian Act, Marco è entrato in nomination per il "Best European Act" in concorrenza con gli altri vincitori dei regional act. Marco partecipa inoltre all'ottava edizione di "O'Scia'", insieme ad altre star del pop italiano ed internazionale, organizzata da Claudio Baglioni a Lampedusa in cui si intende sensibilizzare fan, politici e cittadini sul problema della immigrazione clandestina.
Il 19 ottobre esce su etichetta Rca/Sony Music il Cd+Dvd “Re Matto live”. L’album debutta al 1° posto della classifica dei dischi più venduti (Gfk/Fimi) e al 1° posto della classifica di iTunes.
A novembre Marco Mengoni, dopo aver trionfato nella categoria Best Italian Act, si aggiudica anche il prestigioso titolo di Best European Act: un premio importante per lui e per l'Italia, considerando che in 17 edizioni nessun italiano era mai riuscito a raggiungere tale riconoscimento.
Il 2 settembre 2011 arriva in radio il singolo “Solo” che, anticipando l’uscita del nuovo disco, schizza alprimo posto della classica di iTunes. Il 27 settembre esce “Solo 2.0”, un vero e proprio concept album, che oltre alle tracce del disco e a un contenuto virtuale speciale (Il Comic 2.0), contamina anche la prima parte del Tour.
Dopo un’anteprima trionfante del “Solo Tour” con due date evento al Forum di Assago e al Palalottomatica di Roma, Marco Mengoni decide di cambiare veste allo spettacolo e di svelare al pubblico un’altra porzione d’anima, il suo lato più intimista, quasi introspettivo, non tralasciando mai la sua voglia di stupire e di emozionare. È un TOUR TEATRALE che fa della suggestione visiva e sonora il suo punto di forza.
Uno spettacolo in cui musica, movimento scenico, luci e scenografie compenetrano tra loro, per toccare ancor più da vicino l’anima di chi ascolta. L’essenza intimista dello spettacolo è rappresentata soprattutto dal suono. Una chiave di lettura inedita, con cui verranno reinterpretati molti tra i brani più noti del repertorio di Marco, insieme ad alcune cover, mai eseguite prima.
Il tour teatrale, ideato da Elisa, Marco Mengoni e Andrea Rigonat, parte dall’Arcimboldi di Milano il 19 aprile, passando dal Filarmonico di Verona, il Politeama di Palermo, il Gran Teatro di Roma e molti dei teatri più importanti d’Italia.
In radio intanto suona il nuovo singolo “Dall’inferno”, estratto dall’album Solo 2.0
Esce il 24 aprile, in esclusiva su iTunes, “Dall’Inferno EP”, l’EP digitale di Marco Mengoni contenente la title track, il videoclip e il backstage inedito di “Dall’inferno” e il video live di “Come ti senti”, girato durante lo showcase di presentazione dell’album “Solo 2.0”.
Marco è ospite dell’evento "Premio Leggio d'Oro", dove gli viene consegnato il Premio Speciale Voce Rivelazione Cartoon per il doppiaggio del personaggio Onceler nel cartone animato "Lorax il guardiano della foresta".
Marco prende parte al progetto "...Io Ci Sono", l'album tributo a Giorgio Gaber che celebra il grande artista a dieci anni dalla sua scomparsa, interpretando il brano "Destra-Sinistra".
Il 2013 si apre con la partecipazione di Marco alla 63^ Edizione del Festival di Sanremo con i brani “Bellissimo” e “L’Essenziale”, ed è proprio con quest’ultimo che Marco si classifica primo vincendo il Festival.
Entrambi i brani sono contenuti nel nuovo album di inediti (Sony Music) uscito il 19 marzo 2013:#PRONTOACORRERE ha superato di gran lunga il traguardo del disco di platino e "L’Essenziale" è addirittura multiplatino.
Marco ha rappresentato l’Italia all’Eurovision Song Contest a Malmö (Svezia) nel mese di maggio, dove ha ottenuto il settimo posto con "L’Essenziale".
L’8 maggio è partito "l’Essenziale Anteprima Tour" dal Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano: un’anteprima di 10 date, ideata per i più importanti teatri italiani che hanno registrato il sold out non appena aperte la prevendite.
Il 4 luglio è partito invece da Trento "L’Essenziale Tour", con un clamoroso successo di richieste, che continua ad imporre l’apertura di nuove date.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg.

In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.
