Rimini

Rimini è probabilmente la meta principale per chi cerca un week end di sole, mare e divertimento sulle coste dell’Adriatico.
Questa città però può riservare delle sorprese se la si vuole scoprire fino in fondo.
Per chi è alla ricerca di percorsi alternativi in un luogo che sembra aver poco da offrire dal punto di vista culturale, ecco l’elenco delle testimonianze storiche e artistiche di Rimini.

Come ogni sabato il post, realizzato in collaborazione con artspecialday, è dedicato ad un evento speciale oppure ad un fatto di attualità che parla di cultura.
E qual’è l’argomento di maggiore attualità in questi giorni?
La Grecia ovviamente! Ma raccontata dalla street art 😉

On Sunday at the museum: Miramare Castle

Castello Miramare 8

One of the most interesting novelties to have recently come out of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s ‘cylinder of ideas’ is the Domenica al Museo (Sunday at the Museum) initiative, which offers free admission to state museums on the first Sunday of the month.
A year after the start of this proposal, which I immediately took advantage of, I decided to share with you my itineraries, to show you what wonders can be admired to spend a Sunday of art, fun and at zero cost.

With this post, therefore, I begin a series of appointments in which I will take you on a discovery of museums large and small, but of unquestionable charm.
The first episode is dedicated to Miramare Castle.

Ca’ Pesaro is one of the most impressive Venetian palaces.
The building, once the residence of a noble family, overlooks the Grand Canal and hardly goes unnoticed.

The palace of Ca’ Pesaro is now the seat of the Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna, but in ancient times it belonged to the important Pesaro family, who donated doges, generals and procurators to the Serenissima.

The Basilica of Saint Mark

A visit to the Basilica of Saint Mark is always included in your tourist itinerary, even though you stay in Venice only one day.
The Basilica of Saint Mark is an oriental building with domes and golden decorations which lies between the Doge’s Palace and the Saint Mark’s Campanile (Bell Tower).
It is the main church in Venice, the seat of the Patriarch of Venice, and one of the symbols of Italy in the world.

The building is the result of various constructions which succeeded during the centuries. In fact this place has always been a church, but when Venice became one of the most powerful cities in the world, the building was very rich in artistic treasures and marvels.
