The Piazza dei Miracoli , in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, recognized as an important center of European medieval art and one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. The square is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistry, the Campanile, and the Monumental Cemetery founded in 1277.The structure of the Cemetery represents an oblong cloister in flowery “Gothic” style, with the aim of accommodating the sarcophagi from the Roman period, which until then were scattered around the Cathedral and reused as illustrious Pisans’ burials. The building had to be a “large and decent, secluded and closed”; the result is one of the oldest medieval Christian architectures, destined to cult of the dead.In 1987, the whole square was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.http://www.leaningtower-ofpisa.com/monumental-cemetery-of-pisa/Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

Five famous quotes about butterflies …1.“Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince)2.”We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”(Carl Sagan).3.”In nature a repulsive caterpillar turns into a lovely butterfly. But with humans it is the other way around: a lovely butterfly turns into a repulsive caterpillar.” (Anton Chekhov)4.”This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it; but man will never on his heap of mud keep still.” (Joseph Conrad).5.
