My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, the Church of Christ's Resurrection (Церква Воскресіння Христового) in Foros, Crimea. It dates from 1892. After the "russian" Revolution, the church was closed & its priest was exiled to Siberia. It was turned into a snackbar for tourists up until 1969, then was unused & empty through the 70/80s. It was finally returned to the Orthodox Church. It became a popular place for weddings & has the dubious honor of being the place where traitor to Ukraine Viktor Medvedchuk was married to Oksana Marchenko in 2003.

May 17- Lucca trip woot woot

So far, the day trips have been the most fun days. They are a lot calmer compared to the busy streets of Florence, and overall quieter. While there is no lack of crowds, it seems everyone’s more spread out and nice.

We ran to a bunch of different churches. Nothing super massive, but plenty of places with really beautiful artwork and facades. In Piazza San Martino, we saw a tomb for Ilaria del Caretto that was created by Jacobo della Quercia in the early 15th century. The marble was so smooth and shiny that it looked so plush and soft. If you could touch it, it’d be gentle and warm, not cold and hard.

A couple of us went and got lunch and it was very delicious. Best pasta I have had, homemade carbonara. After that, we walked around half of the wall and stumbled upon some interesting art, and very high parts and low parts of the wall. Everyone yelled at me for getting too close. It was nice to see some green in a small place before making our way to Rome.

And I loved the swings, haha

In order:

1. Sleepy Jack and Ella on the train

2. Dog on the tomb

3. Tomb!

4. She is glowing

5. Beautiful facade on San Michele in Foro

6. Also another beautiful facade on San Frediano

7. Wall art!

8. Sitting on the wall, but it doesn’t look like it….

9. My carbonara

Lucca (Tuscany). Art expressions in churches. I break a spear for a "secular" instagram (a term that I am not enthusiastic about, but which historically I prefer to "confessional" and "clerical"). In this sense I share the ideas of Tomaso Montanari - art historian, rector of the University for foreigners of Siena, anti-fascist, close to the ideas of Don Milani - according to which most of the artistic treasure is present in the churches, which however are often closed and when they are open they can be visited for a fee ... Montanari claims that the churches are the real art exhibitions, much more than those as such, moreover where art is placed in hybrid atmospheres. Lucca is full of churches, like many other cities. At this juncture we see (strictly closed, also for reasons of hour...): santa Maria forisportam (12th century, also called santa Maria bianca), san Cristoforo (11th century, with decisive alterations in the 12th and 14th centuries), san Michele in foro (VIII - XI - XIV century). The three churches recall the Pisan Romanesque style and see Guidetto among the builders. #style #instagram #see #treasure #reason #atmosphere #expression #builders #lucca #tuscany #toscana #art #churches #break #ideas #sense #university #artistic #travel #traveling #visiting #instatravel #travelling #tourism #instatraveling #travelgram #travelingram #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #estremisti Information for the purchase of my new book "Extremists!": The book at a cost of 12.00 euros (120 pages), can be ordered in the bookstore (ISBN 978-88-591-5719-9 - Editore Aletti) or requested to the e-mail accademiadiesarda@tiscali.it with additional postage (currently 1.28 euros - fold of books). https://www.instagram.com/p/CkEGe48D7dP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

La chiesa di San Michele di Lucca, in Toscana, si erge nell’omonima piazza detta in foro, perché luogo dell’antico centro Romano. È stata fondata nel VIII secolo e dedicata all’arcangelo San Michele la cui statua si innalza in cima alla bellissima facciata in stile Romanico Lucchese.

Vediamo San Michele mentre uccide con una lancia il drago (il diavolo) sotto ai sui piedi. Le sue colonnine di vari colori e tarsie marmoree rappresentano ognuna i disegni che si usavano sulla seta lucchese, a rimostranza di quanto fossero abili nella produzione e mercanzia della seta.

Si notino dietro alla facciata, gli scalini (senza corrimano esterno) che conducono alla statua di San Michele.

Sull’architrave sopra il portale centrale si può vedere al posto delle solite circolari foglie d’acanto, tipiche del romanico, una serie di simboli pagani (vedi la sirena dalla coda bifida, una sfinge, un centauro ecc.) a simboleggiare che la tentazione e il malvagio è esterno alla chiesa, mentre all’interno si è protetti.

Sull’angolo destro della facciata si trova una bellissima madonna con bambino di Matteo Civitali, del XV sec. Faceva parte di un altare ormai perso e commissionato da un ricco mecenate lucchese per proteggere la città dalla peste (sulla mensola si può notare l’iscrizione Salutis Portus). L’interno della chiesa è a tre navate in stile prevalentemente romanico. 🇮🇹❤👏👋

The church of San Michele di Lucca, in Tuscany, stands in the square of the same name called in foro, because it was the site of the ancient Roman centre. It was founded in the eighth century and dedicated to the Archangel San Michele whose statue stands out on the beautiful Lucchese Romanesque-style façade.

We see St. Michael slaying the dragon (devil) under his feet with a spear. Its columns of various colors and marble inlays each represent the designs that were used on Lucchese silk, demonstrating how skilled they were in the production and trade of silk.

Note behind the facade, the steps (without external handrail) that lead to the statue of San Michele.

On the architrave above the central portal, instead of the usual circular acanthus leaves, typical of the Romanesque style, there are a series of pagan symbols (see the siren with a forked tail, a sphinx, a centaur, etc.) to symbolize the temptation and the evil one is outside the church, while inside he is protected.

On the right corner of the facade is a beautiful Madonna with child by Matteo Civitali, from the 15th century. It was part of an altar now lost and commissioned by a wealthy patron of Lucca to protect the city from the plague (the inscription Salutis Portus is visible on the shelf). The interior of the church has three naves in mainly Romanesque style. 🇮🇹❤👏👋
