Casa Poporului, also known as the People's House, is considered the largest building in Romania and second largest in the world after the Pentagon. It was built by dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in the recent years of his dictatorship until he was killed during the 1989 Revolution. The building was never occupied before the Revolution and was constructed on top of a demolished hill that contained old houses, churches, and streets in Bucharest. Today, Casa Poporului is used by the Romanian Parliament and is seen as a symbol of Ceausescu's deep dictatorship and the immense sacrifice made to construct the massive building.

Italia Lucca 1 Un tesoro nascosto tra le sue mura
Lucca is a city and comune in Tuscany, Central Italy, situated on the river Serchio in a fertile plain near the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Lucca. Among other reasons, it is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls. Lucca was once referred to as the “City of One Hundred Churches”. Today, the number has dwindled, yet the style, grace and beauty still impress. Opening to a relatively large piazza, the façade of San Frediano never fails to impress visitors with its glass, gold and precious stone inlaid mosaic. The Basilica was built during the 6thCentury and the current appearance of the church, very Romanesque in style, was completed in the 12th Century. Named for an Irish Bishop of Lucca (Fridianus), the interior of the church is striking in its austere simplicity.
