David was sculpted in marble, it’s over life-size, and that it represents the biblical figure of David, who killed the giant Goliath with a stone from his slingshot. David is tall, exactly 14 feet and 3 inches high and was left-handed.His right hand is disproportionately large compared to the body because in the Middle Ages, David was commonly said to be strong of hand. #adriano
Among the statues present today in the Loggia della Signoria or dei Lanzi, the Perseus of Cellini is probably the most important and extraordinary work, from the artistic and technical point of view. Benvenuto Cellini, artist from Florence, began work on the opera in 1545 and its realization will keep him busy for about nine years. The sculpture represents Perseus standing on Medusa’s body, just decapitated by the contested sword in his right hand, while the left raises triumphant the monster head held by the hair. #adriano Taken in Florence in black and white #HeavyHDR

Rome has fifty monumental fountains and hundreds of smaller fountains, over 2000 fountains in all, more than any city in the world. The Fontana dei Libri, in travertine, was planned by Pietro Lombardi in 1927 for the quarter of Sant’Eustachio. That is why the district symbol of a deer’s head appears in the niche surrounded by four antique books, probably recalling the nearby Sapienza University. Taken in Rome this year #adriano detail

Martyrs Square of Naples: the square located in the city heart is one of the most charming places of the city. It is especially remembered for the enormous lions that seem to be there to watch the square.

This lion has under his paw the 1848 statute, it is the representation of the Neapolitan fallen in the spring of nations, known as the riots of 48 #adriano

While we appreciate the amazing beauty wildflowers give us, we seldom consider the marvelous mechanisms at work to repeat this show year after year. Annual wildflowers last for just a season and have to grow anew each year. The endless variations are fascinating. Perennial wildflower plants last for several seasons, but need to produce enough new plants from seed to maintain the population.

In Italy villages that have been abandoned by their original inhabitants, are more than 20.000, either due to a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or landslide, or for economic, demographic, environmental or structural reasons. Most of them can be visited. Some abandoned buildings taken over by artists and used as beautiful, unconventional art galleries. With this strain of transformation, these artists are proving once again that art can happen anywhere, that art can make beautiful statements and that art is for all.
