Christopher Columbus (l. 1451-1506 CE, also known as Cristoffa Corombo in Ligurian and Cristoforo Colombo in Italian) was a Genoese explorer (identified as Italian) who became famous in his own time as the man who discovered the New World and, since the 19th century CE, is credited with the discovery of North America, specifically the region comprising the United States. Actually, owing to the early 16th-century CE popularity of the published letters of the Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci (l. 1454-1512 CE), detailing his three voyages to the “New World” between 1497-1504 CE, the discovery of the Americas has been credited to him on world maps beginning in 1506 CE which is why the continents bear the feminine version of his name. Columbus made four voyages to the area of the Caribbean, exploring Cuba, Central America, South America, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the islands of the Bahamas, and others between 1492-1504 CE: First Voyage: 1492-1493 CE Second Voyage: 1493-1496 CE Third Voyage: 1498-1500 CE Fourth Voyage: 1502-1504 CE Columbus never set out to discover a New World, but to find a western sea route to the Far East to facilitate trade after the land route of the Silk Road, between Europe and the East, had been closed by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 CE, initiating the so-called Age of Exploration (also known as the Age of Discovery) which launched many European sea expeditions. Columbus' first voyage brought him to one of the islands of the Bahamas on 12 October 1492 CE, which he claimed in the name of the monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and his wife Isabella of Castile of Spain. His next three voyages were made to consolidate Spain's control of the region and establish colonies. Columbus is acknowledged as the first to establish contact between Europe and the Americas known as the Columbian Exchange whereby people, plants, technology, and other aspects of culture passed between the Old and the New World, transforming both and establishing the foundation for the modern age. Although modern-day detractors of Columbus cite the Norse community in Newfoundland as the first “discovery of America”, the Vikings under Leif Erikson, who landed in North America centuries before Columbus, had no effect on the indigenous population and their return to Greenland afterwards inspired no further expeditions. Columbus' journeys, by contrast, opened the way for later European expeditions, but he himself never claimed to have discovered America. The story of his “discovery of America” was established and first celebrated in A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus by the American author Washington Irving (l. 1783-1859 CE) published in 1828 CE and this narrative (largely fictional) would eventually contribute to the establishment of Columbus Day as a United States' holiday in 1906 CE, observed up through the present. In the 1970s CE, however, a revaluation of Columbus and the effects of his voyages on the culture and people of the Americas has increasingly called for discarding this tradition in favor of honoring the indigenous people adversely affected by the four expeditions he made to the New World and the poor treatment of the original population at the hands of the European immigrants afterwards. This debate continues in the present.

Prima tappa: Khiva, la città-museo

L’Uzbekistan, da oltre 2000 anni culla di antiche e fiorenti civiltà, dispone di un ricco patrimonio artistico e architettonico profondamente legato alla storia della Via della Seta.

1259 - 1324 - The story behind the book called The Travels of Marco Polo, including who the Polos were and why they traveled to China, and then what was the legacy of this adventure in history.

The bustle and noise of some cities reaches, at rare points, perfect harmony. They say that in Maloria, there was one such moment. A thousand thousand throats spoke a perfect chord as a million insects hummed counterpoint and everywhere machines and footsteps beat time.

But then the moment did not break as it always had in other cities, with a cough or a mis-timed squeak of a wheel. The song of Maloria stretched and grew instead, a vast, sustained hymn; the soul of the city vibrating in frequency, building to a crescendo.

And then it stopped. No one can say where they went, the animals and the machines and the people and the rustling leaves of trees. The song only came to its crescendo, and then it was silent.

Maloria lies empty now; it has said all it needed to say.

Ibn Battuta

Ibn Battuta (1304-1368/69) fue un explorador marroquí de Tánger cuyas expediciones le llevaron más lejos que a cualquier otro viajero de su época y que dio como resultado su obra famosa, La rihla de Ibn Battuta. El erudito Douglas Bullis señala que “rihla” no es el título del libro, sino el género, rihla significa viaje en árabe y una rihla, literatura de viajes.

Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" is a great choice for the reading season

Marco Polo is the tale-teller, and the venerable Kublai Khan his audience. We read stories about imaginary cities. Someone said, it's like feeling nostalgia for lost illusions, loves that never quite were, happiness perhaps only tasted and these are the emotions Calvino evokes.

San Tommaso, chiamato Didimo che significa gemello ebbe il privilegio di seguire Gesù che lo chiamò all'apostolato fin dai primi tempi della sua vita pubblica: è però legato (anche nell'immaginario collettivo) al celebre episodio dell'incredulità, ovvero alla mitica frase, sillaba più sillaba meno: se non vedo non credo.

"A solidão branda é criativa, a solidão intensa é abortiva."

Marco Polo tem um grande desafio em sua vida pessoal e profissional, estudar e analisar de modo científico e criterioso a inteligência de um homem, mas não qualquer homem. Esse homem abalou os alicerces da humanidade e até hoje traz muito debate sobre quem ele realmente foi e é para todos. Esse homem é Jesus Cristo!

O brilhante cientista aceita o desafio, porém ele vai enfrentar seus próprios medos e angústias, além de ser um ateu convicto ele aceita participar de uma espécie de mesa redonda com brilhantes profissionais para analisar a mente de Jesus Cristo, sob o ângulo da ciência e não da religião.

Ele parte em uma jornada épica para saber se Jesus era um mestre em autocontrole, gerir sua emoção, trabalhar perdas e frustrações, contemplar o belo e formar pensadores.

Será que Marco Polo conseguirá concluir esse desafio com êxito? Será que finalmente a mente do homem mais misterioso que a humanidade já presenciou, será decifrada ?
