Parco Archeologico Pompei

Questo volume propone un viaggio all’interno delle abitazioni di Pompei grazie alla ricerca fotografica inedita realizzata da Luigi Spina con un apparecchio Hasselblad H6D 100 C (con ottiche). Tale campagna è stata affidata in via esclusiva dal Parco Archeologico di Pompei al fotografo, e il risultato sono immagini mai viste di uno dei siti più sorprendenti dell’antichità classica. Il lettore, guidato dall’occhio del fotografo, percorrerà le nove regioni della città romana e in ciascuna di esse avrà modo di meravigliarsi davanti allo spettacolo che gli si svelerà davanti pagina dopo pagina. Scoprirà angoli inediti di Pompei, così come la varietà dei pavimenti musivi, le geometrie e i colori dell’opus sectile, la bellezza di pitture parietali fino ad oggi sconosciute seppur talvolta frammentarie, nonché il ritmo alternato di elementi figurativi e puro decorativismo.

Mario and Daisy Headcanons

Currently on the road to go on vacation for the next week (and then go back to uni two days later 🫠) so I decided to take some time to write up some headcanons for Mario and Daisy! They’re a lot fun to draw, and just as much to write ☺️ I was originally going to pair it with the short ‘prologue’ story I had for them, but it got too long, so I’m gonna have it separate.

@vulpixfairy1985 @kelbreyworshipper @peaches2217 @itsavee4117 @supergay-64 @megamagimugi @pinkcreamypeach @wahooitsamee @silenzahra (when you’re ready <3) @mikibaby94 and @akiiame-blog I think you guys will like these 🤭

==

Meeting Each Other

• In their first few months of knowing each other, Daisy absolutely THRIVED on getting a rise out of Mario. “It’s funny seeing tiny people mad,” her reasoning was. It was always a good day for her, but it was a GREAT day when a vein was popping out of his forehead.

◦ Of course because everything is a game to Miss Daisy 😗

• The two had a rocky start… well, more on Mario’s end; Daisy was just there for a good time. For the most part, he remained civil towards her because she was Peach’s best friend and Luigi seemed to really like her (somehow).

• Not that Mario could never handle the truth, but to him, Daisy was ALARMINGLY blunt, ESPECIALLY around him, and had energy like he’s never seen before.

• What made him uneasy about her was how she interacted with people. She’s a physically affectionate person, so she’d do little things like shoulder punches/shakes, arm around the shoulder, hand on shoulder, playful pokes, etc. this was especially the case for Luigi, adding on spontaneous hugs, sometimes in the air.

◦ Luigi had to assure Mario over and over that he wasn’t uncomfortable, but the deep shade of red on his face around her convinced him otherwise.

◦ What made Mario snap was when she took Luigi on a solo tour around Sarasaland, but unintentionally got him badly hurt (more on this here), and immediately wanted nothing to do with her, no exceptions.

◦ Despite her questionable ways of showing affection, Daisy grew to genuinely like the bros, so she was disheartened when she heard the news. She wrote several letters to explain herself to give to Peach so she could give to Mario, but he was having none of it.

◦ A month after Luigi fully healed, Mario thought that maybe he was too harsh, but he still kept his distance.

• [insert event where Luigi is in trouble and they come together and bond over how much they care about him and learn a little more about each other in the process but NOT THERE YET… but at least Mario can stand to be around her again]

• What DOES make them closer is their love for sports and hands-on activities. Daisy is more eager to get her hands dirty unlike Peach, and unlike Luigi who would be more reluctant and stand behind Mario most of the time (of course the company is always appreciated)

◦ What starts off as a mission to annoy Mario (affectionate) turns into hours of cracking jokes, banter, life vents learning more from each other (whether it was what they were doing in the moment, from life or both).

Nicknames

• Mario’s nicknames for Daisy are Testa di spina (thornhead), D, Firecracker, Sriracha Queen, Crazy Daisy (more frequently when they were just meeting), and Petals

• Daisy’s nicknames for Mario are Red, Shortie, Short stack, SuperBoy, Fire hydrant, teletubby, Mawio, Mar-maid Man, Mustachio, Cap’n Lou (ironic right? also if you know you know), and Stimpy

Misc Headcanons

When these two work together in sports, they are a FORCE. They’re both jack of all trades on the field and on the racetrack.

When competing against each other however, it’s war. No mercy, no going easy on each other, but it brings out the best in them. Just to show respect and a sign of leaving their rivalry on the field, they do a long handshake.

Mario: *breathes*

Daisy: YOU’RE SHORT

and she’ll never go a day without letting him know it, but finds a unique way to show it each day.

They’re THE best hug givers. Mario and Daisy are incredibly warm people (Mario with his firebrand and Daisy ruling in a bright and humid environment). Mario’s stocky, so he’ll completely cover you with his love and warmth (and there’s plenty of him to hug in return), while Daisy’s hugs are tight but meaningful.

When these two hug each other, uh, let’s just hope they don’t squeeze the life out of each other 😅 they’re so competitive that they even need to compare who hugs better (creds to @teegeeteegee)

[Luigi and Peach walking and talking, then spotting Mario and Daisy either hugging or choking each other]

Peach: …What are you guys doing?

Daisy, not moving her head: We’re hugging, duh.

Peach: Why? (Not used to seeing the two showing this much affection to each other)

Mario: To see which of us hug better.

[L&P share a glance]

Luigi: Do you guys wanna, you know… unhug?

Mario and Daisy, realizing how nice the hug feels: …nah.

They’re partners in crime! They love pulling pranks on the koopas, goombas and other baddies, and maybe a harmless prank or two on the Toads and citizens over in Sarasaland.

It would take a near-death experience for either of them to ever say an emotional “I love you” to each other. At least Daisy mostly; Mario is more willing to say it. Daisy would usually say it lightheartedly (ex. “love ya!” followed by a punch to the shoulder or “you too” when Mario expresses his love out of habit). But they do show their care/love for each other through actions.

Mario knows Daisy is far from a princess who needs saving, but he still can’t help but have the need to protect her when the time comes.

Oh, and if you insult or hurt Mario, you better hope Daisy isn’t standing within a ten-mile radius with a steel chair.

Daisy loves to mess up Mario’s hair beyond recognition, while Mario loves to come up behind her and poke her sides (i imagine her making the “ah!” noise if you know, if not then this at 0:35)

When they feel playful, they talk to each other in funny accents.

Luigi Ghirri - Lido di Spina

[amanofbeautyisajoyforever]

Discovered in 1972 off the western coast of Calabria in southern Italy, this is one of two full-size ancient Greek bronzes.

The statue, cast around 460-450 BC, stands 198 cm (78 inches) tall. Its lips and nipples are made of copper, its teeth of silver, and its eyes are crafted from calcite. Originally, this bronze warrior would have held a spear and shield, although these were never found. It's also possible that the figure once wore a wreath around his head.

In 2020, archaeologists announced the discovery of the Thermopolium of Regio V, one of the oldest snack bars at Pompeii.

It was a sort of ancient 'fast food' counter which sold ready-to-eat food.

Thermopolia were popular among the working classes and those who could not afford a private kitchen. Here customers could choose from a selection of ready-made dishes, kept warm in jars that were set into a counter.

Archaeologists have discovered an inlaid marble floor, pots and have even clues about what was on the menu - in one of the heated clay pots a residue of one 'paella-type dish including a mixture of mammals, birds, fish and snails', was discovered.

RITROVA IL TUO POTERE

Ti hanno massacrato, indebolito, condizionato, costretto a fare le cose più assurde.

Ti hanno sfruttato, ti hanno disintegrato gli zebedei e fatto patire le sofferenze più profonde.

Ma c'è una buona notizia in tutto questo....

Un segreto, che può aiutarti a cambiare tutto...:

La sofferenza è un Maestro, c'insegna a dire BASTA!

Quando cominci a dire: BASTA, NO, QUESTO NON LO VOGLIO O NON LO FACCIO, qualcosa in te comincia a svegliarsi.

Quello è il tuo potere personale, il tuo "Drago" interiore.

Nello Yoga lo chiamano Kundalini.

La sofferenza, sebbene dolorosa, porta con sé un insegnamento potente. È un richiamo a ritrovare il tuo potere, a riconoscere i limiti che non devi più oltrepassare, le situazioni che non devi più accettare.

Quando inizi a dire NO, stai tracciando il confine tra ciò che sei disposto a tollerare e ciò che non lo sei.

Questo confine è sacro: è il primo passo verso la riscoperta di te stesso.

Dentro di te risiede un potere antico, una forza vitale che giace dormiente alla base della tua spina dorsale. Quando inizi a riconoscere e a rispettare i tuoi limiti, questo Drago comincia a risvegliarsi.

Non è un processo semplice. Risvegliare e gestire il tuo Drago richiede pratica, dedizione e soprattutto cuore.

Non puoi affrontarlo solo con la mente, devi sentirlo profondamente, accoglierlo con il cuore aperto e pronto a crescere.

Il Drago interiore, una volta risvegliato, è una fonte inesauribile di potere e chiarezza. Ma per risvegliarlo, devi coltivarlo.

Come?

Con la pratica costante e con l'amore per te stesso.

Ogni volta che dici NO a ciò che ti danneggia, ogni volta che affermi il tuo diritto a essere felice e libero, stai nutrendo il tuo Drago.

Una volta risvegliato, illumina ogni angolo della tua esistenza. e sarà impossibile da spegnere.

In presenza di un Drago risvegliato, anche le ombre più oscure si ritirano.

Questo potere ti rende invincibile, non perché ti protegge da ogni difficoltà, ma perché ti dona la forza di affrontarle e superarle.

Ritrovare il tuo potere è un viaggio, una pratica continua.

Non sarà facile, ma ogni passo che fai verso il risveglio del tuo Drago interiore ti avvicina a una versione di te stesso più forte, più luminosa e più autentica. Coltiva il tuo potere con il cuore, e ricorda: in presenza di un Drago risvegliato, le ombre non possono esistere.

Buona pratica, e che il tuo Drago interiore illumini sempre il tuo cammino.
