Valencia March 2009 L'Ofrenda floral. This is what is known as the "Ofrenda de Flores a la Virgen de los Desamparados", a floral offering to the Kingdom of Valencia's patron saint, Our Lady of the Forsaken. All the Fallas Committees take part in this event, decked out in their finest, to present their bouquets of flowers to the enormous image of the Virgin which stands in the centre of the plaza named after her, overlooked by her Basilica.
This occurs all day on their days of March 17th and March 18th. The virgin's body is then constructed with these flowers. The Falles (in Valencian) are a Valencian traditional celebration in praise of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Falles refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration.
Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a falla which is eventually burnt. A casal faller is also known as a comissió fallera.
The name of the festival is thus the plural of falla. The word's derivation is as follows:
falla ← Vulgar Latin *facla ← Latin facula (diminutive) ← Latin fax, "torch". There are a few different theories regarding the origin of the Falles festival. One theory suggests that the Falles started in the Middle Ages, when artisans put out their broken artifacts and pieces of wood that they sorted during the winter then burnt them to celebrate the spring equinox. Valencian carpenters used planks of wood to hang their candles on. These planks were known as parots. During the winter, these were needed to provide light for the carpenters to work by. With the coming of the Spring, they were no longer necessary, so they were burned. With time, and the intervention of the Church, the date of the burning of these parots was made to coincide with the celebration of the festival of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of the carpenters.
This tradition continued to change. The parot was given clothing so that it looked like a person. Features identifiable with some well-known person from the neighborhood were added as well. To collect these materials, children went from house to house asking for Una estoreta velleta (An old rug) to add to the parot. This became a popular song that the children sang to gather all sorts of old flammable furniture and utensils to burn in the bonfire with the parot. These parots were the first ninots. With time, people of the neighborhoods organized the process of the creation of the Falles and monuments including various figures were born.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Falles were tall boxes with three or four wax dolls dressed in cloth clothing. This changed when the creators began to use cardboard. The creation of the Falle continues to evolve in modern day, when largest monuments are made of polyurethane and soft cork easily molded with hot saws. These techniques have allowed Falles to be created in excess of 30 meters.
Dear flickr friends, I've been away for some time, having small projects, not necessarily connected to photography. One project that is related to photography and wanted to share with you is my photo website. Probably the shape of it is not final and will still work on it. Suggestions welcomed!
The address is www.bartiservin.com , do drop by!
And of course, in the days to come will try to catch up with your work! See you!

IO NON MI LASCIO FREGARE
#iononmilasciofregare
Questo appello nasce dalla volontà di ricordare cosa è successo il 19 novembre 2015 a Verona...un appello che abbiamo scritto a più mani in maniera ANONIMA e che vuole essere una "chiamata alle armi" per amici artisti di buona volontà.
IN BREVE
Presso il Museo Civico di Castelvecchio sono state trafugate 17 opere di grandissimo valore: Tintoretto, Mantegna, Rubens solo per citare alcuni autori, in pratica un piccolo museo per intero (le foto delle opere rubate le trovate nel nostro album a questo indirizzo: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1064799210228843.107374....)
L’operazione è durata quasi un’ora e mezza ed è stata condotta con molta tranquillità. Un vero scandalo! Poche le parole spese dai media in seguito all’accaduto, le Istituzioni hanno messo in scena il solito scaricabarili e la raccolta firme on-line ha avuto poco seguito.
Ma un pezzettino di quelle straordinarie opere è anche MIO, è ANCHE VOSTRO! Io rivoglio il nostro pezzettino di MANTEGNA, TINTORETTO, BELLINI, etc! Non so se ve ne siete accorti ma si stanno rubando il passato e soprattutto IL FUTURO!
Io non ci sto, noi non ci stiamo! Portiamo un segnale fuori, per le strade e in rete per tenere viva l’attenzione su questo caso letteralmente scomparso, senza lasciare traccia.
Ci rivolgiamo quindi agli amici artisti: quello che sappiamo fare è dipingere, non perdiamo tempo, facciamolo. L'idea che ci è venuta è di adottare ognuno di noi una delle 17 opere e di realizzare un murale (ma anche un poster o una qualsiasi installazione urbana) reinterpretando a modo nostro il lavoro originale. Sfrutteremo l'interesse dei media per l'arte urbana per poter denunciare ad alta voce insieme questo incredibile furto!
Vi chiediamo di farlo liberamente, ognuno con i propri mezzi, ognuno con le proprie capacità,
Siete invitati a partecipare tutti e di farlo in maniera ANONIMA senza firmare le opere che lascerete nelle nostre città, per far parlare direttamente i vari TINTORETTO, MANTEGNA, PISANIELLO ETC, coinvolgendo chi volete (le realtà che oggi hanno a disposizione spazi non mancano, quindi destinatarie di questo messaggio e di certo non abbiamo niente da insegnarvi su come si può fare arte per strada...).
Quando avete fatto mandateci le foto a questo indirizzo:
iononmilasciofregare@gmail.com
o postatele su questa pagina
www.facebook.com/iononmilasciofregare/
sarà nostra cura farle girare il più possibile perchè #iononmifacciofregare
Ecco la lista dei nostri 17 capolavori da adottare:
1 Antonio Pisano detto Pisanello, Madonna col bambino
2 Jacopo Bellini, San Girolamo penitente
3 Andrea Mantegna, Sacra Famiglia
4 Giovanni Francesco Caroto, Ritratto di giovane con disegno infantile
5 Giovanni Francesco Caroto, Ritratto di giovane monaco benedettino
6 Jacopo Tintoretto, Madonna allattante
7 Jacopo Tintoretto, Trasporto dell’arca dell’alleanza
8 Jacopo Tintoretto, Banchetto di Baltassar
9 Jacopo Tintoretto, Sansone
10 Jacopo Tintoretto, Giudizio di Salomone
11 Cerchia di Jacopo Tintoretto, Ritratto maschile
12 Domenico Tintoretto, Ritratto di Marco Pasqualigo
13 Bottega di Domenico Tintoretto, Ritratto di ammiraglio veneziano
14 Peter Paul Rubens, Dama delle licnidi
15 Hans de Jode, Paesaggio
16 Hans de Jode, Porto di mare
17 Giovanni Benini, Ritratto di Girolamo Pompei

I WON'T GET SCREWED OVER
# Iononmilasciofregare
This call arises from the desire to remember what happened on Nov. 19, 2015 in Verona, a call that we have written many hands in an ANONYMOUS way and that wants to be a "call of duty" for artist friends and people of good will.
THE FACT
17 works of great value were stolen from the Museum of Castelvecchio: Tintoretto, Mantegna, Rubens just to mention a few painters, basically a real small museum (photos of stolen works can be found in our album to this address: https: //www.facebook.com/media/set/....)
The operation lasted nearly an hour and a half and it was carried out with extreme calm. A real scandal! A few words spoken by the media after the incident, the institutions have staged the usual buck and the online sensibilization campaign has had little success.
A part of those extraordinary works is also MINE, is also YOURS! I want back our piece of MANTEGNA, TINTORETTO, BELLINI, etc! I do not know if you are aware of that but they are stealing our past and our FUTURE!
I do not accept it, do you? Let's transmit a signal on the streets and in the internet to keep attention focused on this case that risks to disappear without a trace.
We appeal to artist friends: what we do is painting, do not waste time, let's do it. The idea is to take each of us one of the 17 works and create a mural (or a poster or any urban installation) reinterpreting our own way the original work. Let's exploit the media interest in street art to denounce loud together this incredible theft!
We ask you to do it freely, each with their own means, each with their own abilities,
You are all invited to attend and do it in an ANONYMOUS way, without signing the works that you will leave in our cities, to speak directly to TINTORETTO, MANTEGNA, PISANELLO, etc, involving those who want to participate.
Once you did it, please send photos to this address:
iononmilasciofregare@gmail.com
or post them on this page
www.facebook.com/iononmilasciofregare/
We will spread them as much as possible, because:

is the capital of the Co-principality of Andorra, and is located high in the east Pyrenees between France and Spain. It is also the name of the parish that surrounds the capital.
The principal industry is tourism, although the country also earns foreign income from being a tax-haven. Furniture and brandies are local products.
Andorra la Vella is located in the south west of Andorra, at the confluence of two mountain streams, the Valira del Nord and the Valira del Orient, which join to form the Gran Valira. It adjoins the urban area of Escaldes-Engordany. Being at an elevation of 1,023 metres (3,356 ft), it is the highest capital city in Europe and a popular ski resort.
History
The site of Andorra la Vella (literally, "Andorra the Old") has been settled since prior to the Christian era — notably by the Andosin tribe from the late Neolithic. The state is one of the Marca Hispanica created and protected by Charlemagne in the eighth century as a buffer from the Moorish settlers in the Iberian Peninsula.
The settlement of Andorra la Vella has been the principal city of Andorra since 1278 when the French and the Episcopal co-princes agreed to joint suzerainty. Andorra La Vella's old town — the Barri Antic — includes streets and buildings dating from this time. Its most notable building is the Casa de la Vall — constructed in the early sixteenth century — which has been the state's parliamentary house since 1702. Andorra la Vella was, during this period, the capital of a largely isolated and feudal state, which retained its independence due to this principle of co-sovereignty.
Well into the twentieth century, the area around Andorra La Vella remained largely forgotten; indeed the state was not part of the Treaty of Versailles, simply because it was not noticed. After political turmoil in the 1930s and an attempted coup by Boris Skossyreff, an informal democracy developed.
In 1993, the country's first constitution formalised this parliamentary democracy with executive, legislative, and judicial branches located in Andorra la Vella.
During this period, Andorra also developed as a tax haven, resulting in the construction of modern banking offices in Andorra La Vella. The city also developed its skiing facilities, to the extent that Andorra la Vella was Andorra's applicant city for the XXI Olympic Winter Games, the 2010 Winter Olympics. However, Andorra la Vella was not selected by the IOC as a candidate city, following the evaluation report of an IOC commission. It also hosted both the 1991 and 2005 Games of the Small States of Europe.
The city's old town is characterized by old stone streets and houses. The central Església de Sant Esteve (Saint Stephen) church is part of the area that guidebooks often label as a picturesque part of the city.[4] This was built in a Romanesque style in the eleventh century. As mentioned earlier, the old town also includes the country's historic parliament building. Probably the oldest building in the city is another church, dating from the ninth century, of Santa Coloma.[5]
The city is the country's cultural centre, with the Government Exhibition Hall acting as a main theatre and museum. The piazza outside the parliament building is also the location of a number of events, and the town hosts a music festival every winter.
Català
Andorra la Vella és la capital del Principat d'Andorra i forma una de les set parròquies en què es divideix el país (12 km² i 24 574 habitants el 2007), essent-ne la més petita i la més poblada alhora. Està situada a la confluència dels rius Valira del Nord i Valira d'Orient, on formen la Valira, i es troba a 1.013 m d'altitud. Forma una aglomeració urbana d'uns 40.000 habitants amb la població d'Escaldes-Engordany.
La indústria principal és el turisme, tot i que també hi destaquen el comerç i els rendiments que deixa el capital estranger que s'allotja a les seves oficines bancàries, ja que Andorra és un país on no es paguen impostos. S'hi produeixen mobles, tabac i conyac.
L'edifici més emblemàtic de la ciutat és la Casa de la Vall, casa forta del segle XVI que és la seu del Consell General (el Parlament andorrà) des de 1702. L'església parroquial està dedicada a Sant Esteve màrtir, i conserva l'absis i el campanar romànics del segle XI. Al sud de la ciutat hi ha la interessant església romànica de Santa Coloma, de campanar circular.
Português
Andorra-a-Velha (em catalão Andorra-La-Vella), também denominada Vila de Andorra ou Cidade de Andorra é a capital do coprincipado de Andorra.
História
O local de Andorra-a-Velha tem sido povoado desde pelo menos a era cristã e tem sido a principal cidade de Andorra desde 1278, quando os copríncipes francês (o Rei de França) e espanhol (o Bispo de Urgel) tomaram posse deste coprincipado e partilharam a soberania. Em 1993, a primeira constituição do país que estabeleceu uma democracia parlamentar, cujos poderes executivo, legislativo e judicial estão localizados em Andorra-a-Velha. Nesse ano, Andorra torna-se membro das Nações Unidas.
Geografia
Com 23 587 habitantes (est. 2005), Andorra-a-Velha é a capital do coprincipado de Andorra e está localizada nos Pirenéus Orientais, entre a Espanha e a França. É também a sede de uma paróquia de Andorra com o mesmo nome (12 km²) onde situa-se também o povoado de Santa Coloma d'Andorra. É banhada na sua margem direita pelo rio Valira.
Monumentos
A cidade antiga está atravessada por uma larga rua no sentido Norte-Sul, aliás praticamente a única rua da cidade. No bairro central, uma rede de ruas estreitas conduz o visitante à igreja românica e à Casa de La Vall (século XVI), a sede do governo: a visita com um guia permite descobrir sucessivamente a cozinha, no primeiro andar, o grande salão (pinturas murais do século XVI) de onde se pode ter acesso à Câmara do Conselho, onde se conservam os arquivos no armário «das sete chaves» (cada uma das sete paróquias de Andorra dispõe da sua).

An extract from a website
The most impressive features of Helmsley castle are its large earthworks with two deep ditches that are cut down through the outcrop of rock on which the castle stands. This ringwork formed part of the original earth and timber castle built in the early 12th century by Walter Espec. Following his death in 1154 the castle passed to his brother-in-law, Peter de Roos, and it would be held by descendants of the de Roos line until 1688.
Robert de Roos rebuilt the castle in stone some time after 1186. He replaced the timber palisades with a stone curtain wall that had round corner towers and two entrances, one in the south-east below a strong square tower and one in the north in a gatehouse with paired round towers. He also added two great towers, the east tower and west tower. The defences were further strengthened in the mid 13th century with the addition of barbicans to the north and south gates. William de Roos inherited the castle in 1285 and made substantial changes to the property. He added another storey to the east tower, creating new accommodation, and he strengthened the south barbican. He added a new hall that abutted the west tower which he had converted into comfortable private apartments. The castle remained little changed until the 1560's when the west tower and hall were converted into a fine Tudor house for Edward Manners.
The castle defences remained untested until the Civil War, when, in 1644, a parliamentary force laid siege to the royalist held castle for three months. Lack of food finally forced the garrison to surrender and the castle defences were subsequently demolished to prevent any further threat. The east tower was blown up, and much of the debris still remains in the ditch below. The Tudor house was left intact, but was abandoned in the early 18th century in favour of a new house in the adjacent Duncombe Park.

Valencia March 2009 L'Ofrenda floral. This is what is known as the "Ofrenda de Flores a la Virgen de los Desamparados", a floral offering to the Kingdom of Valencia's patron saint, Our Lady of the Forsaken. All the Fallas Committees take part in this event, decked out in their finest, to present their bouquets of flowers to the enormous image of the Virgin which stands in the centre of the plaza named after her, overlooked by her Basilica.
This occurs all day on their days of March 17th and March 18th. The virgin's body is then constructed with these flowers. The Falles (in Valencian) are a Valencian traditional celebration in praise of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Falles refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration.
Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a falla which is eventually burnt. A casal faller is also known as a comissió fallera.
The name of the festival is thus the plural of falla. The word's derivation is as follows:
falla ← Vulgar Latin *facla ← Latin facula (diminutive) ← Latin fax, "torch". There are a few different theories regarding the origin of the Falles festival. One theory suggests that the Falles started in the Middle Ages, when artisans put out their broken artifacts and pieces of wood that they sorted during the winter then burnt them to celebrate the spring equinox. Valencian carpenters used planks of wood to hang their candles on. These planks were known as parots. During the winter, these were needed to provide light for the carpenters to work by. With the coming of the Spring, they were no longer necessary, so they were burned. With time, and the intervention of the Church, the date of the burning of these parots was made to coincide with the celebration of the festival of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of the carpenters.
This tradition continued to change. The parot was given clothing so that it looked like a person. Features identifiable with some well-known person from the neighborhood were added as well. To collect these materials, children went from house to house asking for Una estoreta velleta (An old rug) to add to the parot. This became a popular song that the children sang to gather all sorts of old flammable furniture and utensils to burn in the bonfire with the parot. These parots were the first ninots. With time, people of the neighborhoods organized the process of the creation of the Falles and monuments including various figures were born.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Falles were tall boxes with three or four wax dolls dressed in cloth clothing. This changed when the creators began to use cardboard. The creation of the Falle continues to evolve in modern day, when largest monuments are made of polyurethane and soft cork easily molded with hot saws. These techniques have allowed Falles to be created in excess of 30 meters.

L'idea che ci è venuta è di adottare ognuno di noi una delle 17 opere e di realizzare un murale (ma anche un poster o una qualsiasi installazione urbana) reinterpretando a modo nostro il lavoro originale. Sfrutteremo l'interesse dei media per l'arte urbana per poter denunciare ad alta voce insieme questo incredibile furto!
Vi chiediamo di farlo liberamente, ognuno con i propri mezzi, ognuno con le proprie capacità,
Siete invitati a partecipare tutti e di farlo in maniera ANONIMA senza firmare le opere che lascerete nelle nostre città, per far parlare direttamente i vari TINTORETTO, MANTEGNA, PISANIELLO ETC, coinvolgendo chi volete (le realtà che oggi hanno a disposizione spazi non mancano, quindi destinatarie di questo messaggio e di certo non abbiamo niente da insegnarvi su come si può fare arte per strada...).
Quando avete fatto mandateci le foto a questo indirizzo:

o postatele su questa pagina

sarà nostra cura farle girare il più possibile perchè #iononmifacciofregare

1 Antonio Pisano detto Pisanello, Madonna col bambino
2 Jacopo Bellini, San Girolamo penitente

I WON'T GET SCREWED OVER
# Iononmilasciofregare
This call arises from the desire to remember what happened on Nov. 19, 2015 in Verona, a call that we have written many hands in an ANONYMOUS way and that wants to be a "call of duty" for artist friends and people of good will.
THE FACT
17 works of great value were stolen from the Museum of Castelvecchio: Tintoretto, Mantegna, Rubens just to mention a few painters, basically a real small museum (photos of stolen works can be found in our album to this address: https: //www.facebook.com/media/set/....)
The operation lasted nearly an hour and a half and it was carried out with extreme calm. A real scandal! A few words spoken by the media after the incident, the institutions have staged the usual buck and the online sensibilization campaign has had little success.
A part of those extraordinary works is also MINE, is also YOURS! I want back our piece of MANTEGNA, TINTORETTO, BELLINI, etc! I do not know if you are aware of that but they are stealing our past and our FUTURE!
I do not accept it, do you? Let's transmit a signal on the streets and in the internet to keep attention focused on this case that risks to disappear without a trace.
We appeal to artist friends: what we do is painting, do not waste time, let's do it. The idea is to take each of us one of the 17 works and create a mural (or a poster or any urban installation) reinterpreting our own way the original work. Let's exploit the media interest in street art to denounce loud together this incredible theft!
We ask you to do it freely, each with their own means, each with their own abilities,
You are all invited to attend and do it in an ANONYMOUS way, without signing the works that you will leave in our cities, to speak directly to TINTORETTO, MANTEGNA, PISANELLO, etc, involving those who want to participate.
Once you did it, please send photos to this address:
iononmilasciofregare@gmail.com
or post them on this page

We will spread them as much as possible, because:
