Today’s picture is a bit scary… it is a photo from my trip to Dozza, you can find my blog entry here. The fortress once was a prison, and there are several scary rooms with instruments of torture. I don’t like particularly this kind of stuff, however from the historical point of view can be interesting. If you look carefully on the walls, you can even see some carved texts or numbers on them, made by the prisoners.
Beside that, remember that the region around is well-known for good wines and food, so don’t be too much impressed by the photo!

Took this picture while I was on a short trip in the natural park of “Cinque Terre”, in the italian region of Liguria. It is at the same time quite fun and bizarre, because of the skull in center of the icon above what is a church entrance! yes exactly, that is a closeup of a church entrance in a small town (I forgot the name, not sure if was Monterosso or Manarola).
I don’t know latin well but from what I can understand the text says something like “guild of prayers and deaths”! very scary…!

Nearby “Passo Colla”, 1000m of height on sea level, past 4km of rough road you can find an old abandoned small village called “Dugara”. Some houses are completely broken, only the walls left with some ivy growing on them. Others are still in good conditions, only waiting for someone to come there and open their windows again, to gain a new life.
All around, nature and a weird silence. You can only hear the sound of a nearby water fountain. Some birds, the wind that moves leaves. Apart for that nothing but silence.
The life goes on, and the bells of the small church located in village’s entrance are ready to sing again.
