The Square During Christmas







Purtroppo i miei impegni mi tengono lontano dal postare materiale e spero che riuscirò a farlo prima di Natale.. o perlomeno di scrivere qualcosa in merito alla più bella piazza di Trieste, nonché d'Italia.

Sorry, but my engagements take me away in these days from my blog and all the bloggers and friends I love to visit.. I hope I will have the possibility to post other material before Xmas, or to write something about that square, the best in Trieste, like in Italy.

Making Dinosaurs with "If" and "But"
(Literal translation, it means "making dinosaurs with objections")

Triceratops 6.74




Offices - Stress Room







I Hate the Filthy







Still Unbroken








I placebo you
you placebo me
and yet we are
left ourselves
boh!

(The world "placebo" has been utilized for the italian "piacevo", "piacevi", that means "pleased". So the sense is "I cant'understand why we pleased ourselves and yet we are left ourselves")

Sharpen the Teeth

Questo è un vero teschio di dinosauro. La persona al lavoro sta rifinendo le parti mancanti del teschio e dei denti che sono state ricostruite.

This one is a real
skull of dinosaur. The man is giving the finishing touch to the skull and the teeth, on the reconstructed parts of it.

Benedictine Convent

Dopo la zona delle vigne c'è un vecchio convento benedettino in una piccola cittadina chiamata Ancarano. Nel IX secolo, un santuario dedicato ad un martire di Trieste, Santo Apollinario, fu costruito su iniziativa del vescovo di Trieste. Duecento anni dopo, nel 1072 il convento fu donato ai benedettini. Attualmente è un albergo, con un bellissimo parco sul mare.

After the zone with the grapevines there is an old Benedictine Convent, in a little city called Ankaran.
In the 9th century, a sanctuary dedicated to a martyr of Trieste, Saint Apollinarius, was built on the initiative of the bishop of Trieste. Two hundred years later (in 1072) the bishop of Trieste Adalger, donated this church with all its possessions to the Benedictine monastery of Saint Nicholas in Venice. Actually it is an hotel, with a beautiful pask on the seashore.



























Grapevines

A lovely zone near the borderline between Italy and Slovenia, full of nature, peace, and grapevines. The landscape view shows the gulf of Trieste.
















Statues

The buildings in Trieste are plenty of statues. I love to walk on the streets of my town just to see which kind of statue is on the top of a building or on its walls.
