mercoledì, 7 gennaio 2009Carnival in Italy, Viareggio and Putignano
giovedì, 25 dicembre 2008Typical of the Viareggio Carnival, in Tuscany (Toscana), are the allegorical chariots, which are wonderful more or less big chariots, on which tower over some enormous papier mâché caricatures of famous men of the world of politics, culture and show biz, whose defects are remarked with satire and irony. The tradition of this particular parade dates back to the second half of XIX century, and in particular to 1873, when some rich bourgeois of the city wanted to organize a parade of lorries adorned with flowers on the occasion of Carnival. Some citizens, on this same occasion, decided to disguise themselves in order to protest against the too many taxes which they were forced to pay, taking as a target of their ironic jokes the chief of the tax collectors. From then on every year this parade allows to make chariots that perfectly represent the thought and the discontent of many people.
Italy, the beautiful country
venerdì, 12 dicembre 2008Italy is a wonderful country, rich in history and culture. That’s why it is universally called the “Bel Paese” (i.e. the beautiful country). Italy is full of marvelous monuments, museums of big artistic and historical interest, and superb Churches. Italy is also seat of the Vatican, which is an independent state, heart of the Catholic Church. Here lives the Pope.
But Italy is also delightfully kissed by the warm sun, caressed by the enchanting Mediterranean Sea, and framed, like a beautiful woman by her flowing hair, by spectacular and majestic mountain chains of rare beauty.
Italy, as a matter of fact, offers magnificent seaside resorts along its striking costs, most of which have the yearned for acknowledgement of the blue flag, which indicates clean and unpolluted sea.
