Here is where the palace is located:

The W Barcelona, also known as Hotel Vela is a building designed by Ricardo Bofill, located in Barcelona in the neighborhood of La Barceloneta. The hotel opened on September 1, 2009 and cost approximately 260 million euros. The urban mission of the project was to provide a southern extension of the city to the coast. At the time of the project, the building consisted of a sail-shaped tower 160 meters high. The city council, however, forced the architect to lower the height to 99 meters so as not to alter the skyline of Barcelona.

Il complesso balneare della Barreirinha a Madeira

The Barreirinha beach complex in Funchal on the island of Madeira.
From the ship, docked in the port of Funchal, I always see this blue (or aquamarine) building and I decided to photograph it and find out more about it.
It is a beach complex, with sunbeds, a restaurant and a bar where you can enjoy a relaxing day.
The elevator column is very characteristic.

The Baptistery of the Cathedral of Bergamo

Il Battistero della Cattedrale di Bergamo

The Baptistery of the Cathedral of Bergamo.
In the heart of the upper city of Bergamo, surrounded by ancient walls and narrow cobbled streets, stands the imposing Cathedral of Sant’Alessandro, one of the most important testimonies of sacred art in Lombardy. Among its most precious gems stands out the Baptistery, a structure of great artistic and historical importance that enchants visitors with its beauty and intrinsic spirituality.
The Baptistery of the Cathedral of Bergamo, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, dates back to the medieval period, with some parts dating back to the 9th century. Its architecture reflects the Romanesque style, with subsequent Gothic and Renaissance influences, testimony to the different historical periods that have shaped the city over the centuries.
The external structure of the Baptistery is characterized by a simple but elegant façade, adorned with blind arches, pilasters and a portal decorated with sacred sculptures. Inside, medieval frescoes and Renaissance architectural elements create an atmosphere of sacredness and contemplation.
One of the most precious treasures of the Baptistery are the frescoes that adorn its walls, dating back mainly to the 13th and 14th centuries. These works of sacred art, created by anonymous artists of the time, narrate biblical stories and scenes from the life of St. John the Baptist, giving life to the faith and devotion of the faithful.
Among the most famous frescoes is the cycle of the life of St. John the Baptist, which includes episodes such as his miraculous birth, his ministry in the desert and his martyrdom. The vivid representations and the skillful use of color give them a timeless charm, taking visitors on a spiritual journey through the history of Christianity.
The Baptistery is a place of great spiritual importance for the faithful of Bergamo and for visitors seeking reflection and contemplation. It is here that many Christians receive the sacrament of baptism, a rite of initiation into the Christian faith that symbolizes spiritual rebirth and communion with God.
In addition to its liturgical function, the Baptistery also represents a symbol of the continuity of the Christian faith throughout the centuries. Generations of believers who have come and gone have left their mark on this sacred place, helping to preserve its beauty and historical importance for future generations.
The Baptistery of Bergamo Cathedral is open to visitors who wish to admire its artistic beauty and experience a moment of spirituality. Tourists can take part in guided tours organized by the local diocese or explore the Baptistery on their own, allowing themselves to be enchanted by its works of art and its evocative atmosphere.

In conclusion, the Baptistery of the Cathedral of Bergamo represents a masterpiece of sacred art and a place of profound spiritual significance. With its fascinating architecture, its breathtaking decorations and its thousand-year history, it continues to inspire and uplift those who visit it, offering them a unique experience of beauty and contemplation.

The splendid Casa delle Viti in Sestri Levante.
Every time I walk along Via della Chiusa my gaze, and when I have it with me, the lens always falls on this house.

Una bella villa sull’Aurelia tra Sestri e Riva

Una bella villa sull’Aurelia tra Sestri Levante e Riva Trigoso.
Tutte le volte che passo in via Aurelia, spesso quando faggio due passi con il cane, vedo sempre questa bella villa e mi chiedo sempre se sia una costruzione storica e chi l’abbia costruita.
Poco prima c’e’ una specie di casale che io mi immagino (forse erroneamente) che fosse la dependance di questa villa.
