Magic moments! Mother and child skating on terrazza Mascagni, while rough sea is infuriating around them! It seemed to me they were skating, light like clouds, at the rhythm of a valzer! Other photos from nearby, showing the beauty, the power, of that day of rough sea in a blue sky! Succede per caso. Un giorno di mare grosso, a Livorno, sulla bellissima terrazza Mascagni, curioso di vedere quante onde supereranno la balaustra e di quanto, e invece, all'improvviso, una madre con un bambino passano sereni e leggeri, pattinando a ritmo di valzer. E allora capisci. Davanti alle onde, al mare così grosso da fare paura, devi vivere al ritmo della musica che hai dentro di te. Per te. E anche per chi non c'è più, e vorrebbe gridare e scagliarsi come quell'onda terribile per dire: vivi intensamente, e ama sempre! Ora che puoi! #roughsea #waves #skating #motherandchild #valzer #afterworld #underworld #underthesea #beyondthesea #beyondspaceandtime #nature #livorno #inspiringnature #magicmoments #mindfulness #begood #alwayslove

Sensational sculpture in the middle of nowhere!🙂 Isolated on a hill, near Lucca, Pieve di Brancoli preserves outstanding masterpieces from Romanesque to Renaissance! Ph.1,2 San Giorgio fighting the dragon, Andrea della Robbia, end 1400s-early 1500s Pieve di Brancoli was built in 1100s, on the site of a previous church, mentioned in 8th c., that was built on the site of a pagan temple dedicated to god Apollo, the god who was driving the chariot of the sun and fighting darkness. Not by chance, St George "inherited" 🙂 this place! Ph.3 Lion fighting a dragon, 1100s, three centuries earlier but the same symbolic eternal fighting that still it's ongoing nowadays! Ph.4,5,6 Pieve di Brancoli. There are cars outside the church, but that's the reason the church is open🙂 Association Simone Carli, in a house nearby, organize events, and also open the church if you call them in advance🙏 Ph.7 The bell tower in the green! Ph.8 Piana di Lucca from the church #sculpture #renaissancesculpture #romanesqueart #andreadellarobbia #romanesquesculpture #artlovers #eternal #goodandevil #saintgeorge #dragon #lion #spiritualjourney #mindfulness #emotions #artvibes

Magic atmosphere and emotions at villa medicea La Petraia, a Renaissance villa in the countryside near Florence, with marvellous sculptures inside! Che emozioni a Villa La Petraia! Un'architettura rinascimentale, al confine tra la natura selvaggia del parco dietro la villa e il giardino educato che le sta di fronte, e all'interno sculture potenti e violente, e altre lascive e gioiose, che insieme formavano un tempo un'opera unica! Ph.1 Villa and the trees of the park Ph.2 Villa and the garden Ph.3,4 The courtyard, covered in 1800s, and transformed in a dancing hall for the wedding of the son of the King of Italy, 1872 Ph.5-7 Hercules killing Cacus, a terrible but wonderful sculpture by Ammannati, 1559-60, part of a fountain from the villa di Castello Ph.8-10 Playing putti, Tribolo-Pierino da Vinci, 1559-60, from the same fountain of the Hercules For more wonders from villa La Petraia, see my profiles @stardust_gio @gio_musicart #renaissance #villalapetraia #renaissanceart #artlove #renaissancevilla #renaissancearchitecture #arte #renaissancesculpture #contrast #emotion #magic #magicatmosphere #mythinart #mindfulness #differentperspectives #parallelworlds

Magic Lucca! Magic Realism! Visiting Emilio Malerba's exhibition at Fondazione Ragghianti, Lucca, is a way of passing through magic time doors that make the past he painted so alive you feel part of it, the past part of you! Un viaggio nelle emozioni senza tempo camminando per Lucca, e fissando gli sguardi nei quadri di Emilio Malerba, pittore milanese che dopo un viaggio a Firenze ha iniziato a dipingere atmosfere sospese fuori dal tempo e che viaggiano nel tempo. Morto a soli 49 anni, nel 1926, non ha potuto dipingere molti quadri nel realismo magico che ha senza dubbio contribuito a fondare, ma la sua opera è servita di ispirazione a pittori più celebri come Donghi. Ph.1 Chiostro di San Micheletto, Lucca, where there's the Malerba's exhibition Ph.2 Woman, 1920. As soon as I saw this painting, I was in the painting, she was here, it was magic! Ph.3 Girl, 1910s. Intense masterpiece! Ph.4 Outside San Micheletto Ph.5,6 The Masks, 1922. Inbetween joyful and eerie, a fascinating atmosphere! Ph.7 Friends, 1924 Ph.8 Magical Duomo di Lucca Ph.9 Portrait of the sister, 1913 #lucca #magicrealism #realismomagico #artlove #modernart #artphotography #archilovers #arte #spiritualjourney #catchthemoment #livenow #alwayslove #passion #begood #mindfulness

Views from abandoned Villa Godilonda, Castiglioncello! Built in the 1920s, D'Annunzio slept here and gave the name to it! Godilonda=EnjoyTheWave! Later a hotel, then abandoned, and covered with writings and designs by everyone! The surrounding coast is marvellous! Un luogo in cui mi piace venire per vedere il cielo e il mare! Villa Godilonda a Castiglioncello è un luogo abbandonato, allegro e spettrale, che spero sia presto restaurato e pulito! L'atmosfera attuale ha però una sua suggestione perché porta il segno di questi tempi attuali, un frustrato bisogno di esprimersi di fronte al passare del tempo e all'infinito della natura, ribellioni che finiscono per confondersi sui muri e creano geroglifici senza interpretazione se non la perpetua inquietudine della vita, o come diceva Kundera, l'insostenibile leggerezza dell'essere #windowwithaview #archilovers #streetartlover #streetart #seaandsky #blue #inspiringplaces #abandonedplacesphotography #arches #abandonedplaces #expressyourself #nature #naturelovers #differentperspectives #abandonedvilla #inandout #inquietude
