from the Greek columns  to Baroque Tutta la nostra storia  è qui! In uno degli angoli più suggestivi della splendida Cattedrale di Siracusa.

ph. by Nadia Sardone Sometimes, blogging ......reading here and there , on social networks like Fb, your thoughts match others' way of thinking and it's beautiful to share the same point of view , notwithstanding distances. Feelings, emotions, ideas have no boundaries and no distances can divide people who speak the "same language" I adore the picture I posted taken by the architect Nadia Sardone (she is actually working in the area of Venice) because  I  could immediately  "see" through her eyes what  she felt...observing her new temporarily  world from that red bench!.  Here what Nadia wrote commenting her picture: "Campo S Alvise- La prima volta che arrivai in questo Campo mi ritrovai subito stupita da ciò che si stava manifestando ai miei sensi ed alla mia vista... e seduta su queste panchine ho chiuso per un attimo gli occhi e ascoltato ciò che accadeva intorno. Siamo così abituati al rumore della città... al traffico veicolare..

yesterday it was  the last day of the celebration of the International Tourist Guide Day in Italy! Since 1990 - 21st February , every year  all guides, all over the world, let people know what they  do and the way they  do it   with love and competence, promoting their places in favour of local cultural and social development.
