VIENNA WHERE TO GO AMONG MUSEUMS AND PARKS

Vienna where to go to discover the Capital of Austria, which among museums, palaces and monuments offers a wide choice of itineraries.

To describe Vienna two adjectives would be enough: elegant and modern.

MUSEUMS IN MILAN: THE HOUSE MUSEUMS TO SEE

There are several museums in Milan and several are located in the central areas, which will let you discover not only the beauty but also the history of the city.
All you have to do is walk slowly and Milan will appear like an art city full of charm and stories to tell.

Milan has never shown its beauty because the image of an industrious city has always prevailed.
For this reason, you can hardly think of Milan as a city ideal for a holiday.
Instead, Milan is a place where you can easily lose yourself, because of the considerable quantity of masterpieces to admire, and I’m not just talking about masterpieces hung in the most visited museums such as the Brera Art Gallery.

GUSTAVE COURBET WORKS AND LIFE: 5 THINGS TO KNOW

I could write of Gustave Courbet works and life for days.
His most famous painting is “L’ Origine du monde” (“The origin of world”), so revolutionary and transgressive that has been censored because it depicts with a realism never seen before where we come from (you’ll find the image of the painting at the end of the post).

Gustave Courbet is known for being the most important artist of Realism and the source of inspiration for the Impressionist painters.
