A Russian island in the city of Florence

Antonia — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:42:46 +0000

The building of Russian Orthodox Church in Florence was designed by two architects Preobrashenskij and Boccini and looks similar in appearance with the St Basil’s cathedral in Moscow.

The interior of the Russian Orthodox Church in Florence (Via Leone) is richly decorated with mural paintings in Byzantine eclecticism style. They are very impressive and contribute to the diversity of the heritage diversity in the motherland of Renaissance – the city of Florence.

Bari, where I went actually just because of Saint Nicholas, impressed me very much. I did not expect and I had never seen before such deep and many-sided contrasts of a city……..

historical spirit of Roman times – and noise of modern city in 15 minutes to walk….

dazzling white stone walls of old houses, palm-trees and azure sea….

And I also found how to live nearest to the sun ))

You won’t miss Firenze! You just shouldn’t!

The signs are everywhere, they help people orient. If You know the sign, you know your next move. They are unique, some of them doesn’t have text, they just don’t need it, so self speakable are they, it is kind of international language. The first signs were made on the walls of caves, people understood that they need a guidance. Imagine, people from all around the world, with a different cultures, different languages understand the meaning. Should also mention: recognising this special signs and pictograms is important not only for traveller.

These were everywhere on the isle of Gili Trawangen, it is very simple there. This type of structure I’m sure comes with living in a place that is vulnerable to angry weather.

If you love tango, you have to see it in Buenos Aires at least once in your life !!!!!

TANGO dancers tell a story, usually a passionate romance…you need to feel it and to read it through music, dance and mood…

Some masks in Venice have a headdress which reminds a part of Russian national suit – a kokoshnik. This is very wierd to think about …
