Cristoforo Colombo Lodge Archives add to Trail’s cultural history
Description
On April 5, 1905, 32 founding members banded together to form the Cristoforo Colombo Lodge Mutuo Soccorso (Mutual Help) No. 1, a benevolent society, whose main purpose was to assist its members in cases of sickness or accident and to provide a decent burial for deceased members.
Al Tognotti, who was the president of the Colombo Lodge from 1972 to 1976, and founder of the first Italian of Archives in Canada at the Colombo lodge in Trail.
In 1991 after the sudden passing of Al, archivist Anne Gagliani continued to make improvements to the archives with a grant from the B.C. Archives Association. The grant was used to laser copy all the photos and hang them on the wall and store the originals at Trail City Hall. That took two years. Mona Unti and Elvira Shelley were instrumental in helping prepare pictures.

SOBRE O MONUMENTO A COLOMBO:
O monumento em homenagem ao descobridor da América foi inaugurado para a Exposição Universal de 1888 durante as obras de melhoria do litoral e do porto de Barcelona.
O monumento tem 60 metros de altura e está dividido em 3 partes: base circular, coluna e estátua.
Na base há oito estátuas de leões, imagens alegóricas da Catalunha e fases históricas de Colombo como a descoberta da América.
Por fora, a coluna de ferro é detalhada com caravelas e figuras aladas. No interior, um elevador leva a um mirante sob os pés da estátua.
No topo, a estátua de bronze de Colombo com 7 metros de altura.
Mas para onde será que está ele apontando?
Adivinhar isso é um desafio... Mas existem três teorias.
A primeira teoria diz que ele aponta para a América. Porém, a América está do outro lado.
Já á segunda diz que Colombo aponta a saída para o oceano.
A terceira, mais interessante e poética que as anteriores, diz que Colombo aponta para Gênova, sua cidade natal.
O mais incrível é que ele está apontando exatamente para lá!

Park Güell, Barcellona Travel
Park Güell, Barcellona Travel - The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, after whom the park was named. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park (in the Catalan language spoken in Catalonia where Barcelona is located, the word for Park is Parc, and the name of the place is Parc Güell in its original language). The site was a rocky hill with little vegetation and few trees, called Muntanya Pelada (Bare Mountain). It already included a large country house called Larrard House or Muntaner de Dalt House, and was next to a neighborhood of upper class houses called La Salut (The Health). The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güells suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906.[1] This house, where Gaudí lived from 1906 to 1926, was built by Francesc Berenguer in 1904. It contains original works by Gaudí and several of his collaborators. It is now the Gaudi House Museum (Casa Museu Gaudí) since 1963. In 1969 it was declared a historical artistic monument of national interest.
