Greetings from New York
Madison Square Park is the real heart of New York. it is wonderful and always full of surprises.
Siena. la cattedrale
The cathedral in Siena is a wonderful site full of mysterious symbols. Especially on the floor mosaics, These images are of the main entrance. Siena is really a must see city if one visits Tuscany.
La galleria
This is Milan's premiere location. It starts at the Piazza del Duomo and leads to the la Scala opera house. Splendid.
Il castello
The castle in Castellamare del Golfo not only gives the town it's name but it is the focal point of its existence. Not long ago it reached into the sea and the lambent waves would caress it but also caused damages. Now that an entirely new protection has been devised, it is hoped that the castle and the sea will be able to meet again.
Santa really comes from Sicily
The Anglo Saxon style of Christmas has totally taken over. It naturally carries with it the great commercialization with the concomitant diminution of the religious function of the holiday. This donkey and a small Sicilian cart were roaming the streets of Castellammare del Golfo an Christmas Eve few years ago. They were slowing down traffic and made many motorist angry. Christmas spirit,,are you kidding? Everyone was rushing to prepare the cenone or great supper for the night before Christmas.
