Pomposa -Abbazia

Pomposa -Abbazia
L'origine dell'Abbazia risale ai secoli VI-VII, quando sorse un insediamento benedettino su quella che era l'Insula Pomposia, un'isola boscosa circondata da due rami del fiume e protetta dal mare. Dopo il Mille cominciò la stagione di maggior splendore e divenne centro monastico fiorente votato ad una vita di preghiera e lavoro, la cui fortuna si legò alla figura dell'abate San Guido. Il monastero pomposiano accolse illustri personaggi del tempo, tra i quali è da ricordare Guido d'Arezzo, il monaco inventore della scrittura musicale basata sul sistema delle sette note. Chi ama l'arte antica non deve perdere l'occasione di ammirare nella basilica di Santa Maria uno dei cicli di affreschi più preziosi di tutta la provincia di ispirazione giottesca e il bellissimo pavimento a mosaico con intarsi di preziosi marmi

The origin of the Abbey dates back to the VI-VII centuries, when a Benedictine settlement was built on what was the Insula Pomposia, a wooded island surrounded by two branches of the river and protected by the sea. After the year 1000 the season of greatest splendour began and it became a flourishing monastic centre devoted to a life of prayer and work, whose fortune was linked to the figure of the abbot San Guido. The pompous monastery welcomed illustrious personalities of the time, among whom we must remember Guido d'Arezzo, the monk who invented the musical writing based on the seven notes system. Those who love ancient art should not miss the opportunity to admire in the basilica of Santa Maria one of the most precious cycles of frescoes in the whole province inspired by Giotto and the beautiful mosaic floor with inlays of precious marbles.

A me sarebbe piaciuto almeno entrare, ma non ricordo se non c'è stato il tempo o se per il covid.Anche in chiesa si entrava a rate, qui. Infatti in 30 avevamo due guide.

The sky is a beautiful backdrop to the Abbey. is this near to where you live, Dany? I thought at first that the window number was following the Fibonacci series.

We were very lucky middle Oktober to have beautiful weather, Amelia. No, the place is near Ravenna and I live in Piedmont, near the border with Switzerland, in the middle of mountains. I'm not so good in math, but as there is a 3, I don't think so. Only from under the 1 and the 2.

At first I thought it was the leaning tower of Pisa! Lovely colors, and great clouds.
