HFF and a peaceful weekend:) A Cathedral in the Desert : of course it has nothing to do with a cattedrale nel deserto in Italian.:) I can't think of an expression like that in English: we would normally say that the (place) was (built) in the middle of nowhere to express the same idea.;) [Wordreferences]

HFF and a happy winter ( or summer) weekend ALL:) LoVE

Thanks to all you, Iperfriends, for your wonderful images, your presence and constant support. Lets be confident and approach the new year with faith and optimism. May 2022 be FANTASTIC! Courage! *************************** No more my heart shall sob or grieve. My days and nights dissolve in Light. Above the toil of life my soul Is a Bird of Fire winging the Infinite......................... (R.Tagore)

The fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic is breaking over Europe, with few countries being spared a worrying rise in cases. STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. ******************************************* Santa Maria della Salute is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located at Punta della Dogana in the Dorsoduro sestiere of the city of Venice, Italy. In 1630, Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (or of Deliverance, Italian: Salute). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by Baldassare Longhena, who studied under the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Construction began in 1631.

Wish you a serene weekend:)

Wish you a healthy safe HFF:) ****************************** Casa di Goldoni Carlo Osvaldo Goldoni ( 25 February 1707 – 6 February 1793) was an Italian playwright and librettist from the Republic of Venice. His works include some of Italy's most famous and best-loved plays. Audiences have admired the plays of Goldoni for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty.

HFF and a happy healthy weekend:) *************************************** During large scale restructuring work in the Augustan Age, the cave was left partly natural but also developed to house a circular pool linked to other external pools. The pond was fed by natural springs and salt water from a coastal lake. A device was also built to lift water from the lake and fill various compartments where prized fish were able to breed. All very showy. The interior of the cavern was decorated with a fine range of marble statues, mosaics made of glass and the famous monumental sculptures inspired by the Ulysses.

Wish you all a happy weekend.Love. HFF also:) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGyfat0Q2vA

Hff my friends. ************************************* I live in Rome. I feel that you are near to me/us.....thanks for all the messages and mails. Unfortunately Italy is not the only place to be hit by this terrible pandemic, so lets be strong ALL. What we can do/ and DO is to live separated from our beloved once ( I miss so so much my 4 grandchildren!!!!), we try to avoid contacts and clean our hands many many times a day.... We are worried, of course, and every day I wake up with a sensation of fragility. I pray that we shall overcome this soon...... and learn from this..... no egoism and no war.....no exploitation of nature. Lets love each other, because we are interconnected and we have only one world to live in. Take care, ALL.

This is the last of my 500 trilogy)..... see the pavement of the roman ancient Appia. Thanks for your generous visits. I wish you a great rest of the week......and a happy weekend [away some days]
