Venice is a unique artistic achievement.

The city is built on 118 small islands and
seems to float on the waters of the lagoon.
The influence of Venice on the
development
of
architecture
and
monumental arts has been considerable.
Venice possesses an incomparable series
of architectural ensembles illustrating the
age of its splendour. It presents a complete
typology whose exemplary value goes
hand-in-hand
with
the
outstanding
character of an urban setting which had to
adapt to the special requirements of the
site.
In this lagoon, nature and history have
been so closely linked since the 5th
century AD when Venetian populations, to
escape barbarian raids, found refuge on
the sandy islands of Torcello, Iesolo and
Malamocco. These temporary settlements
gradually became permanent and the initial
refuge of the land-dwelling peasants and
fishermen became a maritime power.
The small island of Rialto was chosen as

the headquarters of the new city.
In AD 1000, Venice controlled the
Dalmatian coast and in 1112 a trading
market was founded in the Levantine port
of Sidon. The year 1204 saw Venice allied
with
the
Crusaders
to
capture
Constantinople. The abundant booty
brought back on that occasion, including
the bronzes horses of St Mark's, is only the
more spectacular part of the loot from
Byzantium that the Doge Enrico Dndolo
shared
with
his
allies.
Founded in the 5th century and spread over 118 small islands, Venice became a major maritime power in
the 10th century. The whole city is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece in which even the smallest
building contains works by some of the world's greatest artists such as Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto,
Veronese and others.
From Torcello to the north to

Chioggia to the south, almost every
small island had its own settlement,
town, fishing village and artisan
village (Murano). However, at the
heart of the lagoon, Venice itself
stood as one of the greatest capitals
in the medieval world. When a group
of tiny islands were consolidated and
merged into one, nothing remained
of the primitive topography but what
consolidate its position in the

lagoon. The marriage with the
sea, that sposalizio that since
1172 was symbolized by the
ring of the Doge, who had
replaced the Dux (elected for
the first time in 697 by an
assembly of the people), was
never called into question.
In this inland sea that has
continuously been under threat,
rises amid a tiny archipelago at
the very edge of the waves one
of the most extraordinary builtup areas of the Middle Ages.
became canals, such as the

Giudecca Canal, St Mark's Canal
and the Great Canal, and a network
of small rii that are the veritable
arteries of a city on water. In this
unreal space, where there is no
notion of the concept of terra firma,
masterpieces of one of the most
extraordinary architectural museums
on Earth have been accumulated for
over 1,000 years.

Under the Doge, a maritime

empire of unequalled power
extended over the entire length
of the shores around the
eastern Mediterranean, to the
islands of the Ionian Sea and to
Crete. During the entire period
of the expansion of Venice, over
the centuries when it was
obliged to defend its trading
markets against the commercial
undertakings of the Arabs, the
Genoese and the Ottoman
Turks, as well as those of the
European monarchs who were
envious of its power, Venice

Mount Etna (Italian:Etna, Sicilian: Mungibeddu or a Muntagna, Latin: Aetna) is an active stratovolcano on
the east coast of Sicily, Italy, close to Messina and Catania. It lies above the convergent plate margin between
the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. It is the tallest active volcano on the European continent, currently
3,329 m (10,922 ft) high, though this varies with summit eruptions. It is the highest mountain in Italy south of
the Alps. Etna covers an area of 1,190 km2 (459 sq mi) with a basal circumference of 140 km. This makes it by
far the largest of the three active volcanoes in Italy, being about two and a half times the height of the next
largest, Mount Vesuvius. Only Mount Teide in Tenerife surpasses it in the whole of the EuropeanNorthAfrican region. In Greek Mythology, the deadly monster Typhon was trapped under this mountain by Zeus, the
god of the sky and thunder and king of gods, and the forges of Hephaestus were said to also be located
underneath it.Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of
activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the
lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Due to its history of recent activity
and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations. In June
2013, it was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Eruptions of Etna follow a variety of patterns. Most occur at the summit, where there are currently (as of
2008) five distinct cratersthe Northeast Crater, the Voragine, the new mouth, and the Southeast Crater
Complex . Other eruptions occur on the flanks, which have more than 300 vents ranging in size from small
holes in the ground to large craters hundreds of metres across. Summit eruptions can be highly explosive
and spectacular, but rarely threaten the inhabited areas around the volcano. In contrast, flank eruptions can
occur down to a few hundred metres altitude, close to or even well within the inhabited areas. Numerous
villages and small towns lie around or on cones of past flank eruptions. Since the year AD 1600, at least 60
flank eruptions and countless summit eruptions have occurred; nearly half of these have happened since the
start of the 20th century, and since 2000, Etna has had four flank eruptionsin 2001, 20022003, 2004
2005, and 2008-2009. Summit eruptions occurred in 2006, 20072008, JanuaryApril 2012, and again in

Agrigento
ITALY
Province of Agrigento
Sicily Region
Ever seen in my entire life as a splendor of spring this morning at sunrise ... From the window we see
the vast and gentle slope of the ancient city in all gardens and vineyards, under the thick green
divined just a few traces of the great and populous neighborhoods in the city of the past. Only at the
southern slope of this green and flowered rises the Temple of Concordia, in the east of the few
remains of the Temple of Juno; but from the eye does not see the ruins of other temples ... instead
runs south towards the sea.
Goethe
Agrigento is an ancient city guardian of

extraordinary artistic, cultural and archaeological
sites. Founded around 580 BC, became one of the
most important cities of Magna Grecia, when the
testimony of Akragas was made by the great deeds
of heroes, legends and famous people. Already
home to indigenous peoples who maintained trade
relations with the Aegean and Mycenaean, the
Agrigento region saw the rise of the polis of
Akragas (), founded by Gelo an of
rhodium-Cretan origin
Reached its zenith in the fifth century BC, before the decline started from the Carthaginian
domination. During the Punic Wars was conquered by the Romans, who latinized his name
to Agrigentum. It is known as the City of temples for its expanse of Doric temples, still
majestic and imposing ancient Greek city placed in the so-called Valley of the Temples,
inserted in 1997 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The world greek left on the Hill of the Temples, one of the most impressive ancient
architectural complexes.

Agrigento
The Temple of Concordia is so named for a Latin inscription

"CONCORDIA AGRIGENTINORUM ', found near the shrine,
but has no relationship with the temple. And 'one of the most
complete in the world greek temples. To be precise
technique and the module unit that regulates the entire
building, it reaches the balanced relationship of the temples
of the motherland. In the sixth century it was converted into a
Christian basilica dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul by
Bishop Gregory and thanks to that is the temple has been
preserved so to this day.
The temple of Hercoles is one of the most beautiful

antiquity. Its decoration included a frame from design and
rich red and blue vertical palmettes between the heads of
lions. The temple, like others, is facing east, in the pediment
ran a rich sculptural decoration of greek god. Although it is
now reduced in poor vestiges of the glorious past, offers
visitors a foretaste of its grandeur and magnificence of the
entire Sacred Way to the tourists who are spending beyond.
The temple of Castor and Pollux, of which you can see the
four columns of the North-West, occupies a small plateau
overlooking the garden Kolymbetra on one side and V on the
other port. It is actually a reconstruction built in 1836 with
materials collected on the spot that the remains of the
original coating of white stucco and plaster, visible here than
on most other temples.
The temple of Juno stands at the eastern end of the Via

Sacra. Its name is due to a misunderstanding with the
traditional temple of Hera at Croton Lacinio on the
headland. On its ruins are still visible traces of evidence of
Carthage in 406 BC Of this temple are preserved 30 columns
of which 16 are still in the capital.

Agrigento
The temple of Asclepius, dedicated to the god of medicine, was visited by the sick,
for it was near the town about 1,500 meters (Polybius). Cicero tells that inside there
was a huge statue of Apollo, although the building was modest and the decorations
were not up to the canons of the time. Peculiar aspect was the presence in the
vicinity of the temple of a clinic, a sacred grove and a source where the pilgrims
could perform the rites of purification.
There are many other temples in the city: Demeter, Volcano, Athena, Isis, Chthonic Deities, such that
<< Agrigento one of the greatest cities of the ancient Mediterranean world, preserved in an unusually
intact. Its great row of Doric temples is one of the most important monuments of Greek art and
culture>>
The Temple of Olympic Zeus is built after the victory over the Carthaginians at
Himera (480-479) according to the greek costume as an offering of thanksgiving to
Zeus: a monument of victory, for its proportions, was one of the greatest antiquity.
The temple is essentially a Doric building. It was pseudoperiptera form, ie not
surrounded by free-standing columns, but by half-seven in fourteen short sides and
long sides, which punctuated the development of a continuous wall, which included
the semi turned into internal pillars. Between the columns were placed in support of
the giants of the temple.
