During our last trip to Ravenna, where we had participated in a symposium on the history of Jews in Italy, among other very interesting topics, we took the opportunity to take a pleasurable walk through the historic center of Ravenna.
What is really great about the pedestrian-friendly historic center is that you can walk around without any problem, and these days, with its holiday decorations, it is even more beautiful.
Frantoi Aperti [olive presses opened] is an event, now in its 19th year, spread throughout the Umbria region, to be held this year from October 29 to November 27.
It's a wonderful opportunity to discover this lovely region in the heart of Italy; during the course of five weekends you can visit the lesser-known Umbria, one of countless medieval villages, olive presses, farm estates and small museums.
The 73rd Venice International Film Festival, organized by La Biennale di Venezia, will run at the Venice Lido from August 31st to September 10th, 2016.
The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote the various aspects of international cinema in all its forms: as art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and dialogue. The Festival also organizes retrospectives and tributes to major figures as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema.
Have you ever wished you could walk on water like Jesus?
The international artist Christo has given you the possibility to do exactly that on Lago d’Iseo between June 18th and July 3rd.
It is a magical and overwhelming experience; the movement of the water transmits all its energy to your body through the particular material used to cover these floating piers, therefore you should do this walk without shoes.
