ABSTRACT ART

Abstract art is an artistic movement developed in the early 20^th century, and takes on the meaning of “not real”.
The path which led to Abstract art originated from Symbolism, which recalled sounds, feelings and emotions without necessarily representing reality for what it is, but inserting images more similar to dreams and nightmares.

Abstract art starts from here, and simplifies images more and more, until it makes them unrecognizable and assigns to colours and forms a meaning you can’t understand without an explanation.

In this post you’ll find the 5 most important things to know to understand Abstract art and the major artists of this artistic movement.

COLOSSEUM TICKETS, OPENING TIMES AND HOW TO BOOK YOUR VISIT

The Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre of the whole Roman Empire built by Vespasian starting from 72 AD and inaugurated in 80 AD.
The Colosseum hosted gladiator fights and hunting scenes with wild animals, coming from every corner of the Roman Empire, to entertain the Romans.

Visiting the Colosseum means understanding how the underground theatre system worked, which consisted of lifts, ramps and traps which permitted animals and gladiators to enter, but it also means finding out about the techniques which allowed the Romans to complete this huge structure, which could hold up to 70,000 spectators.

Here is all the information to book your visit to the Colosseum.

THE 7 WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY ARE

How many times have you heard somebody talk about the 7 wonders of the world? Probably many times, and every time I try to list them I always forget one wonder.
And every time I turn to the Web for help, I always find lists that confuse me, because they are always different from one another.

Thus, I’ve decided to shed some light on this matter, and I wrote this post to tell you what the 7 wonders of the ancient world are and especially where they are, because you can still admire some of them 🙂
