The tower of Pisa does not move more, and we can not be sure that will make it for the next 300 years! And ‘This is the announcement of Professor Michele Jamiolkowski, a famous psychotherapist who, after lengthy meetings and working sessions, managed to convince the Tower of his state of immovable property and therefore desist from its intention to go around the world (in fact Michael is a professor emeritus of the Politecnico di Torino).

Not only la Torre was convinced not to move more, but also to return to the position that the giovincella held in the 1,700, when its tilt (the overhang) was only 3 meters and 99 centimeters, compared to 4 meters and 47 centimeters that the birichina had reached in 1993.

All this work of recovery and restoration has brought with it a fruit that will make the joy of all visitors, between three months when you can access from the small port of entry, will look again at the top can see all seven arcades and the sky. I would add that even if it were evening, certainly we return in mind the verses of the Supreme:

Salimmo up, the first and second I,
both ch’i ‘de saw things beautiful

leading ‘l ciel, for a pertugio round.

So uscimmo a riveder the stars.

Yes, return from a vacation in Paris with a CD of music lounge, merchandising maybe one of these lounge bar is still fashionable among tourists visiting the Ville Lumiere. And the places where immerse certainly not lacking in experience.

Prime among all the historic Buddha Bar, who over the years has expanded and now, for example, will also open a karma kafé in Dubai. Not least is the Cafe Costes, located nell’omonimo hotel designed by Philippe Stark, offers expertise and a lounge known series of lounge music to its brand.

But the real news for fans of this kind is that in the space of the restaurant Georges, on the sixth floor of the Centre Pompidou, there is a new space… a lounge bar where vodka together with a wider variety of vodka to be tested, is a dj deals with the soundtrack, of course, the whole lounge. For those who loves mixing with a more Parisian, remain the Alcazar and Fumoir.

The Brooklyn Bridge was completed 125 years and last Friday was celebrated with lights and fireworks by nuiorchesi. Started to build in 1870 was completed in 1883, after 13 years of work, joining Manhattan in Brooklyn that at the time were two distinct cities.

From May 23 (tomorrow) to 8 June billboard will be the festival of Spoleto 2008. How to tell? I’m wrong? The 2008 edition will take place from June 27 to July 13? Ninth, I am absolutely certain that the festival will begin tomorrow, only that it will not be in Spoleto, from our shares in Umbria, but in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, where for 31 years held the edition of a twin of cultural events more Famous you doing in Italy.

And even the U.S. edition must be of quality, read some comments about us was, as Erin that says:

When I visited Charleston, I did not think that we are the flavour of Italy, but thanks to Spoleto Festival which was in program in the city, that is what we have subsequently found. Even if you can not participate in a specific event while visiting the city, the mere fact of being there during the festival, in itself is an experience!

The South Carolina is a state of the East, bordering with Georgia (a little more about Florida for instance) and Charleston is one of the most important cities of the state. Charleston, overlooking that is protected form the underlying faces a deep estuary and several islets, was spared by the civil war U.S. and for this still a colonial flavor, well in this architecture of villas and dell’immancabile French quarter.

Besides the festival, the lords of IgoUgo, we recommend to visit Fort Summer, City Market, the Aquarium citizen and Boone Hall plantation.

At 19, Pope Benedict XVI will celebrate Mass in the square of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the cathedral of Rome, on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. Presiederà then the Eucharistic procession to the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

For Orvieto, on the eve of the procession of Corpus Christi, procession through the streets of the city of Corteo Dame and Popolani, accompanied by medieval music and dances, which are surrounding the fastosità of clothing worn with grace from 70 ladies and festive popolani .
