Mantua.
Palazzo Te.
Chamber of the Emperors
The room, whose decorations may be dated back to the years 1530-1531, is so called because of the images of rulers and commanders painted on the ceiling, extolled as virtuous examples taken from ancient history.
The fresco in the hexagon in the center of the vault is devoted to an episode, narrated by Pliny, Caesar ordering the letters of Pompey to be burnt, which aims to celebrate the greatness of Caesar’s soul, who, after the victory of Pharsalus, refused to read the letters that proved the link between the defeated enemy Pompey and the leading men of Rome.
The two round frescoes on the long sides of the vault depict examples of noble gestures of ancient kings and generals : Alexander the Great who puts the Iliad in a casket (South wall), honors Alexander’s noble decision of storing the books of Homer in a gold casket taken from his defeated enemy, Darius king of Persia; The Continence of Scipio (North wall), glorifies the resignation of Scipio to hold a young prisoner woman.
The sides of the vault are occupied by six vertical rectangular frescoes with figures of emperors and warriors : Alexander the Great (East wall), Julius Caesar and A Signifer (South wall), Augustus (West wall) ; A Warrior and Philip of Macedonia (North wall) .
The corners of the ceiling, decorated with octagons on a light blue background, house four ovals, supported by putti and winged Victories, showing the Gonzaga’s devices: Cupid in the small wood (South-East corner), Mount Olympus (South-West corner), Salamander (North-West corner), Zodiac (North-East corner). This one presents the earth in the center of the universe, as pointed out by the Latin motto : " IN EODEM SEMP[ER] " (‘Always in the same place’).
The frieze is of the late eighteenth century (the original is lost).

The Virtuous Woman Inc goal through our program Project Destiny is to spread awareness for the issue of of how sex trafficking affects our communities and how Project Destiny can help. We want to change the perception that a girl or boy on the streets is not there by choice. A more than likely scenario is that he or she is being forced into prostitution to bring money back to a pimp or predator that has helped them with a place to live, food and other necessities.

The "Mona Lisa", the most enduring symbol of feminine mystique, became the portrait of a virtuous mother's family, who had five children including two girls who became nuns.
After two centuries in which historians have tried to uncover the identity of the model - theories ranged from the mother of the painter to a prostitute in Florence - new research came to a conclusion: it is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy merchant silk.
Giuseppe Pallanti, a professor of Florence who has spent the last 25 years researching the archives of the city, discovered the first clear evidence of the family's relationship with Da Francesco del Giocondo, a rich silk merchant who married Lisa in 1495.
The researcher also found that in 1550, Giorgio Vasari, the biographer of Italian artist, said that Lisa would be the woman portrayed by Da Vinci. And he was a trusted source, because he knows the Giocondo family personally.
For centuries, the "Mona Lisa" was also known as "La Gioconda", precisely because the theory of Vasari. Nevertheless, the enigmatic nature of the disorder and her mysterious smile have been studied by dozens of researchers, mainly because, unlike other portraits of the time, painting is not signed, dated and does not indicate the name of the seated woman.
Among those who have been identified as possible models appear Isabella d'Este (shown on the label below), and Isabella Gualanda Cecilia Gallerani, figures of Italian society of the time, and many other courtesans and prostitutes. The artist's mother also came to be identified as the woman portrayed ...

so, the international flower industry has notoriously crappy labor practices, and nothing local was in bloom during our February wedding. the fact that we had no real bridal party, just flower girls, made it relatively easy to be virtuous. so i made these for me and the flower girls, and they were rad.
www.marthastewart.com/893987/how-make-crepe-paper-flowers...
but let me break it on the real for you, because here's what martha stewart won't tell you: unless you have a sweatshop of MFAs, each flower takes a couple of hours. also - floral tape is only sometimes necessary, and usually your enemy, but the trusty glue gun is your friend, so use it liberally. no one sees the bulging hideous bottoms of your flowers.
this is where we got the crepe paper, which was super high-quality: www.cartefini.com/#!home
we also bought fabric flower wrist corsages for our mothers, from dinkybirdboutique, on etsy, and they were lovely. best of all, the bouquets and corsages last forever and make nice mementos!

This is for a very good friend of mine, Kate who is celebrating her birthday today, September the 24th. One of the most thoughtful, genuine, caring, and virtuous person I know. Her faith and devotion is always an inspiration. Sainthood is in the works as we speak, hehe. She's had a difficult time lately but she's on the mend. This red flower just symbolizes her courage to stand up above it all. Happy Birthday Kate. The best is yet to come.
We were going to be virtuous and snack on the sandwiches we'd made ourselves and packed, but then we saw everyone in the street coming out of a little hole-in-the-wall place carrying these amazing looking little (not so little) tostas, and what else were we supposed to do?
His: Tuna and tomatoes and olives and peppers and pickles. Mine: Octopus tentacles and little shrimp. Both: Drizzled in extra olive oil before serving. And shared, of course.

This virtuous young woman, holding in her arms a pelican which rends its breast in order to feed its famished offspring, is an allegory for devoted Kindness, observing a very old iconographic tradition. It is a portrait of Marie-Antoinette, the wife of the French king Louis XVI. That this moral virtue was associated with the queen was not an accident. In 1785, she saw her popularity deeply undermined by a rumour about her personal spending symbolized in the sordid matter known as the “Affair of the Diamond Necklace.” Despite her innocence, Marie-Antoinette’s reputation was tarnished by the scandal. She never regained the affection of the people during the few years that remained before the Revolution, which took her to the guillotine.
A pupil of the great sculptor Pajou, Dardel exhibited this sculpture in 1786 at the Salon de la Correspondance, an annual Paris event held apart from the Salon du Louvre to enable artists who were not members of the Académie royale, the official organ for obtaining commissions, to show their work to the public. Dardel was passionately involved in the revolutionary movement, supporting the abolition of the French monarchy and then the death sentence for the queen to whom he had paid tribute scant years previously.
Trellech (occasionally spelt Trelech, Treleck or Trelleck; modern Welsh: Tryleg) is a village and parish in Monmouthshire, south-east Wales, north-north-west of Tintern. The name of the village derives from Welsh and means "the town (tre) of stones (llech)"; there are three standing stones close to the village, known as Harold's Stones. The church of St Nicholas is a Grade I listed building. The village is located on a plateau between the valleys of the Usk to the west and Wye to the east.
Although a relatively small village in modern times, it was one of the largest towns in Wales in the 13th century, and is now the location of archaeological investigations to determine its extent and role at that time. The village is designated as a Conservation Area, and gives its name to the community of Trellech United, in which it is located. There are historically 26 known spellings of the village name; on each of the three roads entering the village, signs give a different spelling - Trellech, Trelleck and Trelech.
In the 18th and 19th centuries the water was considered especially beneficial in the treatment of eye ailments and for treating ‘complaints peculiar to women’. It was also used as a wishing well. Girls wanting to know how long they would have to wait for marriage would drop in a pebble and every bubble that rose counted as one month …. a much shorter time scale than at Alsia Well in Cornwall where each bubble counted as a year! Fairies were believed to dance at the well and one day a local farmer dug up a fairy ring around it and from then on, whenever he (and only he) tried to draw water, the well was dry, but as soon as he replaced the missing turf he was able to get water again. On midsummer’s eve, the fairies were said to drink it’s water from harebells which were found strewn around on midsummer’s morning. There was also a legend that nuns from Tintern Abbey had used a three mile long tunnel so that they could use the water unobserved .... historically however, there were only monks at Tintern.
Ancient Greek has four distinct words for love: agápe, éros, philía, and storgē.
In modern Greek, Philia means friendship or affectionate love. It is a dispassionate virtuous love, a concept developed by Aristotle; it includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and familiarity. (wikipedia)

I love this graphic. It shows clearly how to connect the local and the global, how to build alliances, how to strengthen the virtuous circles.
