Loreto | Le Marche Guide | Rough Guides

Loreto | Le Marche Guide | Rough Guides | FASHION & LIFESTYLE! | Scoop.it

The vast majority of people who visit LORETO are pilgrims, over four million of whom arrive every year to pay their respects at what they believe is the House of the Virgin Mary where Jesus spent his childhood. The house is contained within a huge hilltop basilica visible from miles around. However, away from the religious frenzy, the town, it must be said, has little to offer.
The primitive stone House of the Virgin Mary (Santa Casa) with only three walls, sits within a grand and very far from humble basilica, featuring works by such Renaissance luminaries as Bramante, Antonio da Sangallo, Sansovino, Lotto and Luca Signorelli, many of which depict scenes from the life of Mary. Inside the house, pride of place is given to a copy of the famous Black Madonna of Loreto; the medieval original, once crazily attributed to St Luke, was destroyed in a fire in 1921. For the non-believer the religious fervour can come as a surprise, with some pilgrims pressing their cheeks against the blackened, crumbling brick walls mumbling tearful prayers, others on their knees in a trance-like state in front of the Madonna. Talking in here is not a good idea as you will be unceremoniously shushed by the grim-faced nuns. Note that at peak times you may not be able to look around the Holy House as a service is usually being conducted for visiting pilgrims, and it is closed from 12.30pm to 2.30pm.
Over the centuries, Loreto built up a covetable collection of treasures donated by wealthy believers. One of the most costly and idiosyncratic was a golden baby bequeathed by Louis XIII of France, weighing exactly the same as his long-awaited heir, the future Louis XIV. The basilica was ransacked in 1798 by Napoleonic troops, most of the plunder ending up on the shelves of the Louvre in Paris. Following Napoleon’s demise, subsequent popes managed to retrieve many of the valuables, but the majority were stolen again in 1974 in what became known as the “holy theft of the century”.
Loreto owes its existence to one of the Catholic Church’s more surreal legends. The story goes that in 1292, when the Muslims kicked the Crusaders out of Palestine, a posse of angels flew the house of Mary from Nazareth, the Santa Casa, to Dalmatia, and then, a few years later, whisked it across the Adriatic to Loreto. In the face of growing scepticism, the Vatican came up with the more plausible story that the Holy House was transported to Loreto on board a Crusader ship. Not surprisingly, though, this new theory doesn’t have the same hold on the Catholic imagination, and the Madonna of Loreto continues to be viewed as the patron saint of aviators: Lindbergh took an image of her on his landmark Atlantic flight in 1927, and a medallion inscribed with her image also accompanied the crew of Apollo 9. For centuries she was also credited with military victories – presumably she was thought to have power over projectiles.

During the Baroque period the Santa Casa was copied by pious architects across central Europe, most notably in Bohemia and Moravia where tens of replicas were built. The finest of these stands next to Prague Castle.

Il design Made in Italy di Guzzini celebrato in un nuovo libro

Il design Made in Italy di Guzzini celebrato in un nuovo libro | FASHION & LIFESTYLE! | Scoop.it

Il design Made in Italy di Guzzini trova spazio in un libro, ideato per celebrare i cento anni del noto marchio di complementi di arredo e di accessori italiano. Nel 2013, infatti, la ditta Fratelli Guzzini ha spento le sue prime 100 candeline, festeggiando l’evento ricordando una storia gloriosa fatta di tante piccole innovazioni, di rispetto della tradizione e di passione che ha coinvolto diverse generazioni.
1912, Enrico Guzzini progetta e realizza la prima tabacchiera in corno di bue. 2012, un libro (e un francobollo) celebrano i 100 anni dell'azienda.
Guzzini ha realizzato oggetti di design che sono diventati un cult: in 100 anni di storia è diventato uno dei brand più amati e utilizzati non solo in Italia, ma anche oltre i confini del nostro paese. Tutto merito di uno sguardo sempre attento all’innovazione, alla cura dei materiali, all’originalità, ma senza mai lasciare la strada tracciata dai fondatori, in quel rispetto della tradizione e in quella coesione famigliare, ingredienti di una ricetta di successo tutta Made in Italy.
Un secolo di design passato dal corno al plexiglas, dalle tabacchiere al set da whisky. Un'evoluzione fatta di ricerca, innovazione e spirito visionario che ha portato la Guzzini di Recanati da fabbrica di posate e articoli sanitari a colosso italiano nella produzioni di articoli per la casa, la cucina e la tavola. Riuscendo a rendere bello anche uno scolapasta.
Una storia infinita come infinito è il design italiano firmato Guzzini: progettato per essere usato e celebrato, ora, da un libro.

A Guide to Mount Amiata: Skiing on Italy’s Highest Extinct Volcano

A Guide to Mount Amiata: Skiing on Italy’s Highest Extinct Volcano | FASHION & LIFESTYLE! | Scoop.it

December marks the start of the short ski season on Mt Amiata Italy’s highest extinct volcano. This distinctive small resort is 500 kilometres south of the mighty skiing mecca of the Dolomites in a part of southern Tuscany synonymous with baking summers, rolling hills, olive groves and quaint hilltop towns. Its close proximity to the cultural giants of Siena and Florence and the 15km of ski runs that snake through the beauty of Europe’s largest beech forest make it a perfect place to combine a leisure and sightseeing holiday.

This sacred mountain of the ancient Etruscans divides the Val D’Orcia from the flat fertile plains of the unspoilt Tuscan Maremma. From the monumental iron cross on its summit views stretch as far as Lake Trasimeno in Umbria where Hannibal achieved his greatest triumph over the Romans, the Chianti Hills, the wild Parco Regionale della Maremma beyond which is the secretive island of Montecristo and Elba where Napoleon stayed whilst in exile. Amiata’s strength is its peacefulness and simplicity. Huddled around the small meadow at the resort’s main hub of Prato delle Macinaie are a trio of cosy bars serving skiers the excellent local red wine Montecucco as well as the friendly and award winning hotel Le Macinaie and restaurant which is only twenty paces from the ticket office and main chairlift.

Nando Muzi Spring/Summer 2013 Illusioni Collection

The footwear from NANDO MUZI is therefore works of art, "jewels", veritable dreams to live with intensity. The use of leather such as calf, characterized by its softness and absolute preciousness, suede, python, new stylistic effects such as the use of a material "invisible" to the eye (plexiglass), through which the texture of the shoe becomes the foot itself.
Tthese are examples of how the mastery and the footwear tradition Made in Marches join the talent of the designer.
