Editor's Notes
Rome: Colosseum -
Verona arena, piazza bra built in 30 ad. Still does large scale operas as well as rock concerts.
Trajans column, unrolled would be 2 football fields in length. At one time it was in color. Completed in 113 ad. Depicts his 2 victorious military campaigns against the dacians.
Leaning tower of pisa, campinile (bell tower) what pisa doesn’t want you to know is that most bell towers in italy are leaning. It is 8 stories tall. You can climb to the top. It’s kinda funny because of the lean.
Ponte vecchio in florence. Used to be lined with butcher shops. The butchers would dump remains into the arno river. The medici grand dukes had a passage built along the top and then prohibited the butcher from selling there to enforce the prestige of the bridge.
4 rivers fountain by bernin (nile, danube, ganges, Rio de la plata) i St. angnes in agone, is built on the site of the stadium of domitian
Amalfi is one of the magnificent towns along the amalfi coast. To get there you can take what I call rollercoaster road and some italians call mamma mia road. You must ride the bus, but sit on the appropriate side.
1815 - Arco della pace (arch of peace) – Piazza Sempione at the end of parco sempione, sort of like a central park in Milan, it has a castle, biking/walking trails, pools, lake etc. Was originally the arch of victory for napolean, but in 1814 they stopped the building of it and changed the name. post napoleonic future
Santa maria degli angeli… baths of diocletian – designed by michelangelo. Door by polish born sculptor igor mitoraj.
Venice water taxi – how to get around… foot, taxi, limo, bus, gondola traghetto
Varenna Italy (lake como) New laws around george clooney’s house of 500 euro (approx. $680) if you stop on the street side or water side. laglio
Vernazza – ct – riomaggiore, manarola, corniglia, vernazza, monterosso al mare – no cars beautiful towns
Pompeii – aug. 24 79ad. Many signals of impending doom, but no one really knew what it meant, most people were able to leave. 2000 died. Bodies frozen in time. Plaster casts. Fast food
Gondola rides – e80 40 mins day time e40 for additional 20 mins. 100/50 night 40/20
Florence italy, the duomo. Brunelescis dome. You can climb to the top and have amazing views of the city
Santa maria della salute. Octangonal church was built for Mary in hopes she would cure the people of the plague. Evenutally it worked.
