50 Shades of Ochre...A Journey through Tuscanyichimera
The document is about the author's lifelong love of color that began with a science fair project with their father. They see the world in vivid color and use photo editing software to capture what their memory sees. The author is drawn to places with special light, like Tuscany, where the ochre color of the region comes from the raw and burnt sienna pigments found in the local stone. Tuscany is defined by the ubiquitous ochre color in its buildings, landscapes, and way of life, from the villages and farms dotted across the rolling hills to the elegant architecture and well-preserved medieval and Renaissance structures.
Campania is a region in southern Italy known for its ideal geography, varied terrain, natural phenomena, dense population, and archaeological treasures. The coast has three large gulfs and features both low, sandy beaches in the north and rugged coastlines in the south and islands. The main rivers are fed by sources so they never run dry, while some torrential rivers are irregular due to rainfall. Campania has both mountainous areas and extended plains, and was once called "Happy Campania" due to its fertile lands formed by erupted volcanic materials over millions of years.
This presentation is done by Sheena Sablan as one of her projects on ITALIAN REGIONS in her Italian 10 class (AY 2013-2014) at the University of the Philippines under Prof. Emanuela Adesini.

Vàrem arribar a Pisa el dimecres 30 de gener a la nit. Vàrem dormir a l’Hotel La Pace ( un 3 estrelles molt correcte situat a 50 metres de l’estació). El tracte a l’hotel va ser immillorable, habitació confortable, bon esmorzar i ens varen guardar les maletes el dijous al matí i després el diumenge quan vàrem tornar a Pisa.
A les 8 del matí vàrem visitar la “piazza dei miraccoli” sota una pluja persistent, vàrem quedar xops com dos ànecs. Plovia tant que vàrem comprar un paraigües per 3’5 €.
El cementiri, es pot apreciar com la Puri està completament molla.
Duomo de Pisa, sota la pluja
Cap a les 9 vàrem marxar a Lucca amb tren. És una ciutat emmurallada molt bonica que es troba a pocs minuts de Pisa. Té monuments importants: piazza Anfiteatro, San Martino, San Frediano, San Michele, Torre Guinigi,... Molts carrers estrets plens de botigues i petits mercats al carrer. Al principi també va ploure, però aviat va escampar i vàrem poder fer una interessant visita.
Al pòrtic del duomo podem veure aquests relleus que representen els mesos de l’any.
San Martino, detall de la portalada.
Per poder apreciar la piazza Anfitetro cal anar al darrera de les cases on encara es conserven les restes de l’antic amfiteatre romà.
A d’alt de la torre d’aquest palau s’hi troben 4 alzines.
Església romànica del segle XI situada a l’antic Foro.
Muralles de Lucca, al fons San Martino.
A les tres de la tarda vàrem arribar a Volterra, teníem una gana!!! Vàrem trobar un supermercat obert ( pel camí ens vàrem parar a una pizzeria, però ens vàrem trobar amb la sorpresa de que ja no servien menjars; cal anar a menjar entre la una i les dues.) i vàrem comprar un tros de costelló de porc que ens va satisfer de ple.
Duomo construït entre els segles XII i XIV i remodelat al segle XVI. Té un peculiar sostre “atesorado con figuras estucadas en azul y oro”.
Sostre de la catedral
“ El davallament” segle XIII
Volterra conserva les característiques medievals amb els seus carrers estrets i tortuosos, les cases, els palaus,...
Torre del Porcellino i Palazzo dei Priori
Vàrem arribar a San Gimignano molt tard, ja es feia fosc. Realment una ciutat meravellosa, declarada el 1990 patrimoni de la humanitat. Actualment només conserva 14 de les 71 torres medievals que havia arribat a tenir. El dia que la vàrem visitar era la festa major i hi havia missa major amb les autoritats i l’arquebisbe. També hi havia un mercat popular on vàrem degustar un producte típic que tenia forma de patata fregida però era dolç i amb un gust semblant a les neules.
Les parets de la Catedral estan recobertes de frescos. “La Anunciació” de Ghirlandaio.
Entrada al poble de San Quirico d’Orcia. Estàvem a divendres 1 de Febrer i el temps era magnífic.
A la dreta podem veure un detall de la doble porta d’entrada a la ciutat. A l’esquerra un de les increïbles portes que vàrem poder veure en tot el viatge.
Col·legiata del segle XI que està construïda sobre un edifici anterior del segle VIII. Al costa dret es pot apreciar la façana del palau Chigi edifici del segle XVII
Portalada de la Col·legiata.
Detall de la portalada i del pou
La portalada està decorada amb dracs, sirenes i grans lleons.
Jardí del segle XVI situat al costat de les muralles de la ciutat i lloc preciós per fer una petita passejada.
Petita estació termal, com podeu veure no hi havia ningú, a l’estiu deu estar tot ple. És una piscina enorme construïda pels Medici i plena per aigües sulfuroses que procedeixen dels antics volcans. Actualment està prohibit banyar-se a la piscina, però aquí s’hi varen banyar Santa Caterina de Siena i Llorenç Medici.
Aquest meravellós exemple d’ermita medieval és el lloc escollit per Sant Filippo per retirar-se a viure i així evitar ser elegit Papa en el Concili de Viterbo del segle XIII.
Interior de l’ermita, es pot apreciar el foc i a l’esquerra el lloc on dormia el Sant.
Estructures formades per l’aigua sulfurosa a Bagni San Filippo.
Abadia del segle XI reformada interiorment al segle XVI. Es troba al mig del poble del mateix nom; el centre històric és força interessant.
A la cripta hi podem trobar diverses columnes amb capitells esculpits.
Vàrem arribar al poble de Sorano al voltants de la una. Després de passejar una estona pels seus estrets carrers i veure les seves cases penjants vàrem buscar un lloc per menjar. La ciutat de Sorano, juntament amb Sovana, Pitigliano i Saturnia formen part de la zona denominada “ Città del Tufo” ( tipus de pedra volcànica molt fàcil de treballar la pedra tosca )
A l’esquerra es pot observar com s’aprofitaven les coves excavades a la roca per construir cases. A la dreta una bonica porta de la regió.
Encara que la foto està moguda l’he posada per recordar “l’estupendu” plat de formatges que vàrem menjar al restaurant de Sorano. Al got hi havia una mica de most dolç, també acompanyaven els formatges una mica de pera i una confitura de pera amb un regust molt estany quan la menjaves. També vàrem menjar un plat d’embotits típics.
Castell dels Orsini.
Vista general del poble de Sorano.
Conjunt rupestre de San Rocco, situat a 2 km de Sorano, està format per vivendes i cambres funeràries excavades en un barranc de “tova” volcànica.
Sorano vist des de San Rocco
Sovana, a la dreta interior de l’església de Santa Maria Maggiore amb un baldaquí, de marbre blanc, romànic del segle IX.
És el mausoleu etrusc més gran dels que s’han trobat. La seva façana tenia 12 columnes, amb una escalinata doble per accedir a l’interior del temple, que està compost per una ampla entrada i una cambra subterrània on es troba la cambra funerària.
Pitigliano és un poble que es troba a sobre un turó entre els rius Lente i Meleta.
Cases penjants i sinagoga. A Pitigliano hi ha un important barri jueu que té una sinagoga , una fleca i una botiga que ven productes kosher.
Salt d’aigua del Molí, està a 2 km de Saturnia on ets pots banyar lliurament en aigües sulforoses.
Tot el claustre de l’abadia està ple de frescos.
En aquesta abadia hi vivien molts monjos que es dedicaven a l’elaboració de vi, oli i medicines naturals, que venien a preu d’or a la botiga.
La primera abadia va ser construïda en temps de Carlemany en el segle VIII. L’actual és del segle XII. Els monjos que hi viuen es dediquen a ensenyar cant gregorià.
Daniel i els lleons, està atribuït al mestre de Cabestany
Daniel i els lleons
El Papa Pius II va reconstruir aquesta ciutat durant el Renaixement; va voler convertir el seu poble natal en un model de ciutat ( en tots els monuments destaca l’escut del Papa )
Catedral de Pienza
Ajuntament de Pienza i detall d’una argolla.
Vàrem anar a dinar a la ciutat de Chiusi, famosa per les seves tombes etrusques. Vàrem haver de dinar molt de pressa ja que la visita començava a les 14’30. Recordar anècdota del formatge. Aquesta és l’estructura de la famosa tomba de les sepultures.
La scimmia és aquesta petita mona que es pot trobar en una de les pintures de la tomba.
Les pintures representen jocs i espectacles. Aquesta és una de les tombes del període antic, sota influència dels grecs.
Sostre de la tomba
Interior d’una tomba reproduïda al museu arqueològic
Interior de la tomba de les sepultures, aquesta tomba es va fer servir durant més de 200 anys i va ser trobada entera, sense saquejar. Aquesta tomba ja té moltes influències romanes. S’incinerava el cos i es posava en una petita urna.
Urna funerària on es poden veure guerrers etruscos, amb el gorro frigi, lluitant contra els gals.
Guerrer etrusc i gal
Urnes funeràries
Dona amb magrana, recorda la posició de les verges del romànic. L’esfinx de clara influència egípcia.
Urnes de clara influència romana
En el plat s’hi dipositaven ofrenes i monedes. Els textos etruscos s’escriuen de dreta a esquerra.
Santuari de la Madonna del Biagio, obra del Renaixement, segle XVI.
Hotel Siena al matí de l'últim dia
Ruta del Chianti, un paisatge diferent, molt més muntanyós.
Vàrem arribar-hi al mig de la boira i la pluja.
Plovia i les botigues encara estaven tancades quan vàrem arribar. No vàrem comprar rés, tot era de marca i molt car, per turistes japonesos, els únics que compraven.
Quan vàrem arribar a Pisa encara plovia, vàrem deixar les maletes a l’hotel La Pace ( molt amables) i vàrem anar a dinar al restaurant I MIEI SAPORI que es troba en un carrer entre la plaça del Duomo i la plaça del Cavallieri. Molt bon dinar a un preu acceptable 40 €
Detall d’un baix relleu sobre barcos de la flota de Pisa gravat a la torre.
