Find out more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-italyFood lovers will be delighted to know that Sicily is also home to 23 Michelin-starred restaurants, including three two-star establishments and twenty with one star.Tourissimo Tip–If you visit Corleone, you should definitely learn about the legacy of the Mafia. We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Wenecja położona jest na 118 wyspach połączonych ze sobą mostami i kanałami. Najbardziej znane jest historyczne centrum, ale pozostałe wyspy oferują również mnóstwo atrakcji. Poznaliśmy Murano, wyspę znaną ze szklanych wyrobów słynnych od wieków na całym świecie. Byliśmy w Burano, która jest najbardziej kolorową wyspą w Europie. Zatrzymaliśmy się w kościele na wyspie San Giorgio Maggiore, będącym najpiękniejszą budowlą Andrei Palladio w Wenecji. Odwiedziliśmy San Michele, wyspę cmentarną, a także wyspy Mazzorbo i Torcello, małą perłę laguny. Wstąpiliśmy też do Gallerie dell'Accademia, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Muzeum Correr i Scuola Grande dei Carmini. To obowiązkowe przystanki, gdzie można podziwiać dzieła wielkich mistrzów. Na naszej trasie znalazł się również Arsenał, z wieloma pawilonami słynnego Biennale. Gościem Jerzego Jopa była Danuta Rasała.

Z tego odcinka dowiecie się co ma wspólnego Peggy Guggenheim z Titaniciem, dlaczego domy na Burano mienią się feerią barw, gdzie wymyślono lustro weneckie oraz o pożyczce bez której nie byłoby Bellini.

“But then we realized that the best way to show this wine and the best place to show this wine was really in front of a vineyard. And my father lived his life traveling all over the world, bringing Prosecco to people, but in Venice, there's people who take planes from all over the world to come to visit Venice.” We're in great company with Matteo Bisol of the famed Prosecco family, who have been leaders in this winemaking practice for 5 centuries, producing what is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after wines in the world through their “walled vineyard” in the heart of the Venetian Lagoon. After Matteo's father discovered and restored this estate, Matteo stepped up to the table, inviting guests from around the world to stay, dine, sip and savor the charm of the canals, the colors of Burano, and the peacefulness of the estate, as if it were their own. In this episode, Matteo graciously shares with us his family's secret garden, a place where travelers can sip one of the world's finest wines, indulge in avant-garde dishes, and experience the authenticity and history of Venice. Top Takeaways [2:00] Matteo takes us back to his tasteful childhood - enjoying Sunday family lunches in the vineyards talking about wine with his grandfather, traveling throughout Italy and France with his father meeting other grape growers and winemakers, sipping some of the world's finest wines since the early age of ten. [4:10] Since 1542, the Bisol family has been growing grapes and making wine in the UNESCO protected Prosecco Hills of Italy. They are the reason Prosecco is known around the world today as an easier to drink, more fruit forward alternative to Champagne. [7:40] How Gianluca stumbled across a dried up vineyard behind the garden walls of the oldest church in Venice, discovering centuries ago that wine was made in Venice with a grape variety, the Dorona, that can only be found in the Venetian Lagoon. [15:20] Sustainability has always been critical to life in the lagoon and today, Venissa offers a way for travelers to slow down, stay at, dine in, and learn from the practices that these farmers, fishermen, artisans and makers have been stewarding for centuries. [19:05] The Bisol's invite travelers to experience the island of Burano - a fisherman village known for its colorful houses that reflect on the waters of the canals - in a way that is free from crowds of tourists, gimmicky souvenirs, and fake Italian food. [23:40] Listen to Matteo's perspective on tourism in Venice…the good, the bad, and the ugly turned beautiful. [33:40] How the terroir of Venissa, “the walled vineyard that has withstood the salt and high flood waters for centuries” gives life to a wine with characteristics found nowhere else in the world. [40:35] Dine In Good Company at Ristorante Venissa, where a taste of ‘cucina ambientale' is awarded both a Michelin Star and Green Michelin Star, or Osteria Contemporanea, where the flavors of the Venetian lagoon meet the creative cuisine of Venissa. [44:00] As the next generation, Matteo's future brings him home to the Prosecco Hills where he is restoring an old winery to give travelers a taste of his innovative natural wine project MONBON. Notable Mentions Ristorante Venissa Chefs Chiara Pavan & Francesco Brutto Col Fondo Prosecco “Chi dorme non piglia pesci,” meaning “He who sleeps doesn't catch fish.” Visit For Yourself Venissa Website | @venissa_tenuta Casa Burano Website | @casaburano MONBON Website | @mon__ban @matte_intothewine Stay In Good Company Website

Burano, an island near Venice, is famous for its brightly colored houses, which locals say help fishermen find their way home in the fog. The vibrant colors also follow a specific system where homeowners need to get government approval for their chosen hue. Other colorful spots around the world include Chefchaouen in Morocco, known as the "Blue City" because its buildings are painted in various shades of blue, and the Rainbow Village in Taiwan, which a former soldier transformed into an explosion of color to save it from demolition. Then there's La Boca in Buenos Aires, where colorful houses reflect the neighborhood's lively tango culture. These places aren't just eye candy—they're packed with fascinating stories and unique traditions. #brightside Credit: Glass Beach: World Wide Gifts - https://flic.kr/p/fGiKjc, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

The legendary trattoria on the island of Burano was the perfect way to start our second day in Venezia. It's one of those family run restaurants that you will remember for years to come. Delicious food, engaging and attentive staff and a classic interior which all comes together to create the perfect Venetian culinary treat. Our second legendary stop was at Venice's most iconic hotel. It just celebrated it's 200th anniversary as a continuously run hotel, so it's clearly filled with history and a roster of notable people who have rest their heads in this luxurious palazzo originally built in the 1400's. We share all about both of these legendary places so hit the play button and enjoy! Follow us on Instagram or Facebook Instagram Facebook
We moved beyond our one bad day in Venice (due to the hordes of tourists) and reveled in the one-of-a-kind beauty and magic that sets Venice apart from basically any other city on the globe. We describe what was probably our best meal of the trip and its beautiful presentation, and we confess to our new found love of white wine from the Veneto / Friuli regions. We also share very helpful Travel Tips on how to purchase Vaporetto (boat) tickets on line and convert them to the paper ticket you need to board the boat (long story) and how to shop like a local in a grocery store without being called out as a tourist! We also enjoyed a rainy-day boat ride to the island of Burano and we can attest to the fact the colorful houses are still bright and cheery even in foggy weather. We leave you hanging as we walk into the iconic restaurant on the island where we had a long and lingering lunch with locals. Follow us on Social Media Instagram Facebook

Also, Sigma releases a new lens, and Lucas thinks Daniel should fully embrace a new photo backup workflow. Want to send us a question or comment, or just learn more about the show?

"Some things are here for our souls, not our interests, and every land has its pockets of wild. Let us leave then there for the birds, for the night watch, for the person who needs and longs for a creeping into invisibility"Welcome to Episode #87:This year Allison published her third book, 'Allison Zurfluh and the Venice Lagoon'. Here are pages of art and essays on her experiences living on the Venice lagoon. The book is an intimate look at the place that captured her heart and soul, the place that would initiate a 1000 questions and responses. There is a part that Allison conserves for family and her Swiss life, and there is a part she lives quite on the fringe of everything… In Italy, on the Venetian lagoon… Searching, exploring, painting, writing, documenting, playing and sharing, yet really going to the edge of what is possible, in her boat, in her art and in herself. Nothing is taken for granted. Not her environment, not her choices, not the people, not the place. Zurfluh recognises the plight of the Venetian lagoon, the wild beauty, the breathtaking moments, the natural world and at times, the painful truth of the tourist dollar.We discuss so much.... Art and motherhood, the writing life, living on the island of Burano and protecting the fishing communities on the lagoon, going into the wilderness to be alone to find what matters, creativity and grit, and indeed many personal stories of our own reckoning with the parts of our lives that make us who we are as women and artists at this point in time. We don't hold back and that is why I published this whole conversation in one beautiful thread. Hopefully you are on one of those long walks you need over the festive season and you can enjoy this share ....Here is a wild and beautiful conversation from one wild and beautiful woman to another. Allison is not only happy to rock the boat, but paints from it too, sharing her gifts, lighting the way, protecting the sacred and reminding us, that we all make a difference in this wild and beautiful world we live in.

Sony has announced its new full frame cinema camera, the Burano. Director Tony Walsh owns an FX3, FX6 & FX9 so I've brought him back for a special segment I like to call "Sony with Tony". We discuss the Burano specs, how it compares to the rest of the CineaAlta line and where we see it being used in the market.
On this episode of The Filming with Josh Podcast, host Joshua Milligan discusses the newly announced Sony BURANO. In last week's episode, Josh and guest Kyle Bamberger discussed the BURANO and what they thought the camera would be. Josh follows up that podcast by breaking down the now announced BURANO, what it is, what it is priced, what all features it has, and who this camera is aimed at. If you're a DP who's in the market for a mid to high-end cinema camera, or if you're just a gear head who loves to talk shop, this podcast is for you!

En las redes sociales hay innumerables fotos perfectas de la plaza de San Marcos, el puente de Rialto o la cercana isla de Burano, sin apenas gente y con mucho sol. Pero, ¿cómo es la ciudad de los canales en realidad?
Donatello Pietrantuono, chef del ristorante Vaporetto di Hawthorn, illustra i segreti di un primo ispirato a una storica trattoria di Burano.
Ienest krāsu, sulīgumu un dzīvīgumu izstāžu zālē, to vēlējušies Alekseja Naumova izstādes „Toponīmi 2” rīkotāji. Pašlaik Mežaparka Lielās estrādes Ekspozīciju zālē skatāma gleznotāja, Latvijas mākslas akadēmijas profesora Alekseja Naumova izstāde. Lai arī vizuālās mākslas apmeklējumam skatītājs šeit vēl jāpieradina, gan mākslinieks, gan Ziemeļrīgas kultūras apvienības pārstāvji aicina nepalaist garām šo iespēju. Tuvojoties Mežaparka Lielās estrādes izstāžu zālei, jau attāli caur stikloto fasādi redzami mākslinieka Alekseja Naumova darbi. Ienākot zālē, ļaujos ainavu krāsu priekam un katras vietas noskaņai. Ņujorkas, Parīzes, Porto, Burano, arī Latvijas ainavas ir satilpušas vienā izstāžu telpā. Te norunāta tikšanās ar darbu autoru, gleznotāju Alekseju Naumovu. Aleksejs Naumovs tiek dēvēts par izcilāko mūsdienu latviešu plenēristu. Izstādē līdzās Vidzemes ainavai arī templis Pekinā. Mākslinieks piedāvā skatītājam nevis vispārinātu un tipisku ainavu, bet tieši savu skatījumu uz konkrēto vietu un mirkli, tā ir arī ar ziemotu Parīzes ainavu. Izstādes Mežaparka Ekspozīciju zālē tiek rīkotas kopš 2021.gada rudens, un notikušas jau vairākas. Ziemeļrīgas kultūras apvienības projektu mākslinieciskā vadītāja Sandra Zandberga iezīmē virzienus, kādos iecerēts mākslas dzīvi skatītājiem piedāvāt: Viens no Alekseja Naumova darbiem „Antiba” saulains un siltumu izstarojošs darbs eksponēts tā, ka to var aplūkot arī neienākot izstāžu zālē. Pašlaik ar nosaukumu „Toponīmi” Alekseja Naumova gleznas skatāmas arī Daugavpils Marka Rotko mākslas centrā, savukārt „Toponīmi 2” Mežaparka ekspozīciju zālē paplašina mākslinieka toponīmu areālu. Sandra Zandberga no sirds aicina nepaiet garām Mežaparka Lielās estrādes izstāžu zālei, jo arī tad, kad notiek sarīkojumi vai koncerti Kokaru zālē, izstāžu telpa ir atvērta apskatei. Alekseja Naumova izstāde „Toponīmi 2” Mežaparka Lielās estrādes izstāžu zālē skatāma līdz 5.februārim. Savukārt izstāde „Toponīmi” Daugavpils Marka Rotko mākslas centrā - līdz 19.februārim.
The fishermen of Burano are as special as the region itself.

#ItalianSecrets #ElkeHeselmeyer #DNEWS24 #Venedig #Veneto #Lido #Burano #Brenta #RezeptderWoche Venedig – La Serenissima Venedig, Hauptstadt der Region Venetien im Norden Italiens. Der Gardasee teilt quasi die Regionen Lombardei und Venetien: die westliche Seite des Sees gehört zur Lombardei, die östliche zu Venetien, oder zum Veneto. Das sollten Sie unbedingt sehen Wenn Sie nur einen Tagesausflug machen, fahren Sie am besten bis San Marco, also zum Markusplatz. Dort befinden sich schon mal einige der wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt: der Campanile, die Kathedrale San Marco, der Dogenpalast – und auf seiner Rückseite die berühmte Seufzerbrücke. Alle, die an der Geschichte Venedigs starkes Interesse haben, sollten dem Dogenpalast sehr viel Zeit widmen. Nach der Besichtigung all dieser Gebäude haben Sie sich eine kleine Stärkung verdient: Begeben Sie sich jetzt ins Caffé Florian, Italiens ältestem Kaffeehaus und tauchen Sie ein in eine längst vergessene Zeit. Danach schlendern Sie einfach durch die Stadt. Achten Sie ein wenig auf die Beschilderungen, die an den Häusern befestigt sind und schauen Sie, dass Sie zur Rialto Brücke kommen, die über den berühmten Canal Grande führt. Ansonsten lassen Sie sich einfach treiben: Sie werden herrliche Plätze entdecken, viele Fleckchen, die von Touristen unentdeckt sind. Wenn Ihnen danach ist, nehmen Sie in einer Bar einen Drink (mein Lieblingsgetränk: Crodino mit einem Schuß Prosecco). Wenn Sie ein wenig das Leben der Venezianer entdecken möchten, suchen Sie vorzugsweise Bars und Lokale auf, die überwiegend von Einheimischen frequentiert werden. Wohin Sie Ihr Spaziergang auch führt: Sie werden ständig von prächtigen Bauten umgeben sein und auch sehr viele Kirchen entdecken. Für alle Tagesausflügler sollte gelten: ein wenig die Richtung „Tronchetto“ im Auge zu behalten. Auf dem Weg dorthin können Sie noch eines der zahlreichen Restaurants aufsuchen und das für diese Region typische Gericht kosten: Haben Sie einige Tage für diese schöne Stadt eingeplant, empfiehlt sich ein Hotel auf dem Lido: etwas abseits vom Touristentrubel und ideal für alle, die morgens vor dem Frühstück gerne schon ein wenig laufen. Für einen der nächsten Tage sollten Sie unbedingt einen Ausflug auf eine der anderen Inseln einplanen. Zum einen wäre da Murano, die Glasbläser-Insel, die allerdings auch ein wenig touristisch ist. Ein kleiner Geheimtipp dagegen ist Burano: eine sehr kleine Insel, die relativ weit draußen liegt. Es ist die Handwerkerinsel, die Insel des Kunsthandwerks. Hier finden Sie feine Stickarbeiten, Klöppelarbeiten sowie auch ein Klöppelmuseum. Hier lebt eine kleine Gemeinschaft fernab vom hektischen Alltag. Die Häuser sind alle in unterschiedlichen Farben gestrichen, alles wirkt noch ein wenig idyllisch. Lassen Sie einfach alles auf sich wirken.
Scrivere: un'attività che alcuni adorano, che altri odiano ma di cui tutti abbiamo bisogno. Infondo, saper scrivere bene non serve solo a scuola o agli autori: noi tutti abbiamo bisogno di scrivere lettere, e-mail, riassunti, resoconti e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Però molto spesso, sia gli stranieri che gli stessi italiani hanno dei dubbi su alcune regole di scrittura in italiano, in particolare quelle che riguardano la punteggiatura - è una cosa normalissima. In fondo, anche Oscar Wilde diceva: “Sono stato tutta la mattina per aggiungere una virgola, e nel pomeriggio l'ho tolta.” In questo articolo, infatti, vi mostrerò tutti quegli errori di punteggiatura che non dovete più commettere in italiano quando scrivete! 12 ERRORI di PUNTEGGIATURA in ITALIANO In questo articolo potete trovare una lista di 12 errori di punteggiatura da evitare quando scrivete in italiano. Parleremo delle regole che hanno a che fare con virgole, punti e virgole, punti, due punti; ma parleremo anche di regole... che non sono regole! Per ciascuna regola troverete sia un esempio di errore, che un esempio corretto al fine di comprendere la regola nella maniera più chiara possibile. 1 - LA VIRGOLA TRA SOGGETTO E VERBO La virgola non deve mai essere messa tra il soggetto e il verbo, anche se ci sono delle altre parole tra loro. Esempio 1: Sara, mangia la pasta. = SBAGLIATO!Sara__ mangia la pasta. = GIUSTO! Esempio 2: La casa che abbiamo comprato, è molto luminosa. = SBAGLIATO!La casa che abbiamo comprato__ è molto luminosa. = GIUSTO! L'unica eccezione è se si utilizza un inciso tra il soggetto e il verbo: in quel caso si metterà una virgola all'inizio dell'inciso e una dopo. Ad esempio: I bambini, che avevano da poco cenato, andarono a dormire. 2 - LA VIRGOLA TRA VERBO E COMPLEMENTO OGGETTO La virgola non deve mai essere messa tra il verbo e il suo complemento oggetto. Ad esempio: Ogni giorno prendo, la metro per andare a lavoro. = SBAGLIATO!Ogni giorno prendo__ la metro per andare a lavoro. = GIUSTO! 3 - LA VIRGOLA TRA IL VERBO "ESSERE" E IL SUO AGGETTIVO O NOME La virgola non deve mai essere messa tra il verbo “essere” e il suo aggettivo o nome. Esempio 1: Luca è, un architetto. = SBAGLIATO!Luca è__ un architetto. = GIUSTO! Esempio 2: I suoi dipendenti, sono intelligenti. = SBAGLIATO!I suoi dipendenti__ sono intelligenti. = GIUSTO! 4 - LA VIRGOLA TRA IL NOME E IL SUO AGGETTIVO O AVVERBIO La virgola non deve mai essere messa tra il nome e il suo aggettivo o avverbio. Esempio 1: Ieri alla festa abbiamo mangiato, troppo. = SBAGLIATO!Ieri alla festa abbiamo mangiato__ troppo. = GIUSTO! Esempio 2: Per il suo compleanno, Marta ha ricevuto delle rose, rosse. = SBAGLIATO!Per il suo compleanno, Marta ha ricevuto delle rose__ rosse. = GIUSTO! 5 - ANDARE A CAPO Dopo il punto, se la frase che segue ha un soggetto diverso o dà un'informazione nuova rispetto alla frase precedente, è opportuno andare a capo. Esempio: Burano è una delle isole di Venezia, famosa per le case colorate.__ Moltissime riviste internazionali annoverano Burano tra le prime 10 città più colorate al mondo. = SBAGLIATO! Burano è una delle isole di Venezia, famosa per le case colorate. __Moltissime riviste internazionali annoverano Burano tra le prime 10 città più colorate al mondo. = GIUSTO! 6 - USARE TROPPI PUNTI Usare i punti va bene, ovviamente, ma non bisogna abusarne! Il punto indica una lunga pausa, in quanto conclude una frase, un pensiero. Quindi non va usato per interrompere una frase. Mi spiego meglio: ogni frase che termina con un punto deve avere senso compiuto e deve avere un verbo principale - se così non fosse, dovrà essere legata a un'altra, con una virgola o un punto e virgola. Esempio 1: Ero molto stanca. Perché avevo lavorato tanto. = SBAGLIATO!Ero molto stanca__perché avevo lavorato tanto. = GIUSTO! Esempio 2:
Eté 2022 : la mairie de Venise déguise un énième report de sa « taxe de débarquement » en annonce de son entrée en vigueur en janvier 2023. Véritable « serpent de lagune », reportée de 6 mois en 6 mois, cette taxe de débarquement est présentée comme l'instrument de régulation des flux touristiques dans le centre historique de Venise. Une seule chose est bien établie : la liste des catégories qui en seront exemptées est bien longue et devrait encore être élargie. Venise, qui se rêve précurseur de la gestion du tourisme de masse, serait-elle sur le point d'instaurer une taxe gratuite ?Photo : petite barque "muffa" (moisissure) à Burano.Pour soutenir le podcast 100% indépendant et bénévole vous pouvez nous offrir un/des cafés.

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world” - Anne FrankWelcome to podcast #46 and my conversation with Allison Zurfluh.Allison is a woman of many layers, a Translator of Classical Music, an Author, Travel Consultant, Painter and at heart an Artist. Allison has lived all around the world, yet found her true home on the Venetian Lagoon on the island of Burano near Venice in northern Italy. In the past few years her life has had its share of trials and tribulations, yet it was the rediscovery of art, and painting the lagoon using watercolours and oil paints on linen canvas that woke her spirit to life again. Through her painting and evocative prose Allison's voice translates her love and care for the natural world and the concern she has for the conservation of the Venetian Lagoon for now and for the future. Allison's art work will be on exhibit "Let Wild Run Free" in March until August in Venice so be sure to visit if you are in Italy over the coming months.

Note dell'episodio Il Carnevale! Ma quando è carnevale e dove? Ecco un po' di note per aiutarvi a capire come e dove, ma anche quando, il carnevale viene festeggiato in Italia. Il Carnevale -> https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnevale Il Carnevale Ambrosiano -> https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnevale_Ambrosiano Il Carnevale di Venezia -> Carnevale di Venezia Nel 1797, con l'occupazione francese di Napoleone e con quella successiva austriaca, nel centro storico la lunghissima tradizione del Carnevale veneziano fu interrotta per timore di ribellioni e disordini da parte della popolazione. Solamente negli altri centri della Laguna di Venezia, come Burano e Murano, i festeggiamenti di Carnevale proseguirono il loro corso, anche se in tono minore, conservando un certo vigore ed allegria. Quasi due secoli dopo, nel 1979, la secolare tradizione del Carnevale di Venezia risorse e nel giro di poche edizioni il Carnevale di Venezia è tornato a ricalcare con grande successo le orme dell'antica manifestazione. Nei vari anni, il Carnevale è spesso dedicato ad un tema di fondo, al quale ispirarsi per le feste e gli eventi culturali di contorno. L'attuale Carnevale di Venezia è diventato un grande e spettacolare evento turistico, che richiama migliaia di visitatori da tutto il mondo. [wiki https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnevale] Il Carnevale di Viareggio -> Il Carnevale di Viareggio ha origine nel 1873 ed è uno dei più importanti e maggiormente apprezzati carnevali a livello internazionale. Secondo alcuni, è annoverato, insieme a quello di Venezia, tra i dieci migliori carnevali al mondo[34]. A caratterizzarlo sono i carri allegorici più o meno grandi che sfilano nelle domeniche fra gennaio e febbraio e sui quali troneggiano enormi caricature in cartapesta di uomini famosi nel campo della politica, della cultura o dello spettacolo, i cui tratti caratteristici, specialmente quelli somatici, vengono sottolineati con satira e ironia. È a Viareggio infatti che nasce il primo carro allegorico in carta pesta nel 1925. Ed è qui che vengono realizzati i carri più grandiosi in questo materiale, carri che passano i 20 metri d'altezza realizzati da più di 25 ditte che coinvolgono più di mille artigiani[35] [wiki https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnevale] E poi abbiamo parlato della commedia dell'arte: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commedia_dell%27arte La seconda Monna Lisa o anche "la Gioconda di Montecitorio" L'articolo che abbiamo discusso -> https://www.corriere.it/cultura/22febbraio17/roma-caso-gioconda-montecitorio-c-mano-leonardo-no-copia-606af8b2-9024-11ec-990d-642ea57e6940.shtml E come ha promesso Raffaele, ecco anche la pagina Wiki su Vittorio Sgarbi; https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Sgarbi Trascrizione
Megan and Wendy review the second movie from "The Wedding Veil" event! Starring Autumn Reeser and Hallmark Channel newcomer Paolo Bernardini, "The Wedding Veil Unveiled" follows Emma to Italy as she researches the origins of the magical veil. Will Emma find love in Italy, too? What did you think of The Wedding Veil Unveiled? Email us at meganandwendy@gmail.com to share your thoughts on Emma and Paolo's love story. Girls Gone Hallmark is a bonus podcast episode where Megan and Wendy recap and review Hallmark Channel original movies. This week, listen in as they share their thoughts on The Wedding Veil Unveiled starring "The OC" alum Autumn Reeser. Catch up on our review of "The Wedding Veil." Andrew Walker Month on Patreon Sign up for Patreon starting at $3/month. You'll get immediate access to our library of Hallmark movie reviews recorded exclusively for Patreon subscribers, plus Tyler Hynes month, Andrew Walker month, and Sam Page month (coming in March). Join us for Andrew Walker month on Patreon. We'll be reviewing Hallmark Channel original movie The Perfect Catch from 2017, starring Andrew Walker as professional baseball stud Chase Taynor and Nikki DeLoach as hometown girl Jessica. Check HallmarkChannel.com or Frndly for the next airing of The Perfect Catch. We'll also be reviewing an episode from CSI:NY featuring Andrew Walker. Season 5, Episode 4 is called Sex, Lies and Silicone and originally aired in 2008. We're dying to find out if Andrew is the victim, the perpetrator, or a background actor in this episode. CSI:NY is available to stream on HULU. News and Notes About The Wedding Veil Unveiled The Wedding Veil Unveiled was filmed on location in Italy, including Venice, Burano, and Bulgaria. “He loves to correct my Italian,” Reeser said about co-star Paolo Bernardini. All three “The Wedding Veil” installments were filmed over just 15 days each. The Wedding Veil Unveiled is Paolo Bernardini's first Hallmark movie. Lacey Chabert Queen of Hallmark? Is it possible that Lacey Chabert is the actual queen of Hallmark Channel movies? According to ShowBuzzDaily, Lacey's movies are breaking Hallmark records. The Wedding Veil which premiered on January 8, 2022, was the most watched cable television program of the night outside of sports programming. The Wedding Veil Unveiled which premiered on February 12, 2022, was again the most watched cable television show outside of sports programming. While Lacey had little screen time in The Wedding Veil 2, she serves as Executive Producer for the trilogy. Lacey's Christmas movies over the last two years have far out performed Candace Cameron Bure's movies. So tell us, why aren't we giving Lacey Chabert the due she deserves? Or maybe Hallmark Channel is with The Wedding Veil event that she stars in, has an executive producer title, and handpicked the cast. Christmas at Castle Hart came in at 3.31 million live views and was 2021's top-rated Hallmark Channel debut. We didn't love Christmas at Castle Hart. Listen to our recap and review of Hallmark number-one 2021 Christmas movie. 2020's most watched Hallmark Channel original Christmas movie was another Lacey Chabert film called The Christmas Waltz. The Christmas Waltz is by far our favorite Hallmark Christmas movie. Listen to our recap and review. Will There Be New Spring Movies on Hallmark? The Spring Into Love line up will debut on Saturday, March 12th with a movie called Feeling Butterflies and stars Kevin McGarry - hopefully sans Boston accent. The second Spring movie is called A Second Chance at Love starring ER alums Gloria Ruben and Eriq La Salle. Read here to see what else Hallmark Channel is airing in March, including on Movies and Mysteries. What's new on Hallmark Channel in March? The Spring Into Love line up beings on March 12, 2022.
