Surgiendo de la nada hemos alcanzado las mas altas cimas de la miseria. (Marx, Groucho)

PAN, TECHO, TRABAJO = DIGNIDAD
Non si può conoscere veramente
la natura e il carattere di un uomo
fino a che non lo si vede gestire il potere.

Arezzo Palazzo Pretorio
Sede del Capitano del Popolo fin dal 1290, ha ospitato numerose magistrature civiche: nella facciata ne resta testimonianza sotto forma di una ricca raccolta di stemmi dei Podestà, dei Capitani e dei Commissari fiorentini succedutisi al governo della città dal XIV al XVIII sec..
An area of outstanding beauty complemented by this outstanding beauty in stone. If only the walls could talk! The chants of countless monks echo through the masonry here. Despite the shell of this grand structure being open to the skies, it remains the best-preserved medieval abbey in Wales. Although the abbey church was rebuilt under the patronage of Roger Bigod, lord of nearby Chepstow Castle, in the late 13th century, the monastery retains its original design.
Tintern was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain, and the first in Wales. The present-day remains are a mixture of building works covering a 400-year period between 1131 and 1536. Very little remains of the first buildings but you will marvel at the vast windows and later decorative details displayed in the walls, doorways and soaring archways.
The lands of the abbey were divided into agricultural units or granges, worked on by lay brothers.
On September 3, 1536 Abbot Wyche surrendered Tintern Abbey to King Henry VIII’s officials and ended a way of life which had lasted 400 years.

El nombre de Iglesia de Santa María del Puerto, o cualquiera de sus variantes, Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Puerto, Iglesia de la Virgen del Puerto, o Iglesia de Santa María del Mar es el nombre de varios edificios cristianos, catalogados como iglesias en honor a la Bienaventurada Virgen María en la advocación de la Virgen del Puerto.
Visto desde el exterior el edificio presenta un aspecto macizo y robusto, que no transmite lo que encontraremos en el interior. El predominio de las líneas horizontales y de las secciones de pared sin grandes aberturas ni decoraciones es absoluto.
Interiormente es un edificio de tres naves, con deambulatorio y sin crucero. Las naves están formadas por cuatro tramos y el presbiterio consta de medio tramo y un polígono de siete lados, todo cubierto con una bóveda de crucería y coronado con magníficas llaves de bóveda. Formalmente, pues, tenemos un edificio de tres naves, pero parece como si el arquitecto hubiera querido dar la misma sensación de espacio que se consigue con una sola nave. Por eso separa bastante los pilares (15 metros) e iguala mucho las alzadas de las tres naves (1/8 menos las laterales que la central). El resultado es un espacio diáfano, que descarta la división del gótico europeo y se inclina por una idea de espacio único.
Merece la pena destacar la austeridad conseguida, una vez más, por las paredes lisas; por las columnas octogonales limpias, ya que los nervios terminan a nivel de los capiteles en lugar de llegar a tierra; por el hecho de que los arcos de las naves laterales y los de la central arrancan de la misma alzada (la línea de impostas, en los capiteles) que dan una mayor impresión de igualdad de las naves, etc.

Civita è una frazione del comune di Bagnoregio, in provincia di Viterbo, nel Lazio, facente parte dei borghi più belli d'Italia, famosa per essere denominata "La città che muore".
Civita di Bagnoregio zählt zu den città che muoiono (dt. "sterbenden Städten"), von denen es Hunderte in Italien gibt, da immer weniger Menschen in den kleinen, nur mühsam erreichbaren Bergorten mit durch Bodenerosion und Erdrutsch absturzgefährdeten Gebäuden verbleiben wollen. Um 1990 lebten in Civita di Bagnoregio nur noch sieben bis 15 alte Menschen zurückgezogen, bis ein römischer Ex-Manager und zahlreiche Aussteiger und Naturschwärmer in Folge den Ort entdeckten und durch Aufkauf und Sanierung der verlassenen Bauruinen wiederbelebten.
