Brisighella and the Donkeys Alley | Italia Slow Tour
Brisighella is a typical Italian borgo near Ravenna. This place has deep roots in farming, so that its main highlight is a unique walkway called Via degli asini (i.e. The Donkeys' Alley). Some kind of street, perched high above the ground level, where merchants used to ride donkey to carry their goods. Built by the end of 300 d.C., at first it was a defensive alley to check the enemies' movements. Then it become a protected and covered street for trades. Strolling along the way, you can still notice the ancient stables for the donkeys. But nowadays it is a very nice trekking trails to get a great point of view on the whole borgo.

Castello di Baratuli a Monastir ~ 30 Marzo 2017 | Viaggiare in Sardegna
Percorrendo la SS 131 tra Monastir e Ussana, sulla destra possiamo osservare un gruppo di collinette di forma conica di origine vulcanica; la più alta merita una attenzione speciale per le rovine che si trovano in cima. Si tratta del “Monte Olladiri” che dall'alto dei suoi 235 metri ospita le rovine del castello di Baratuli o Bauladiri, riscoperto solo di recente dagli archeologi ( 2010-2011 ).
Storia:
Il castello fù edificato nel XII secolo ( 1151 ) per conto dei Giudici di Cagliari sopra un precedente insediamento dell'Età del Bronzo-Ferro; passò in mano alla famiglia del conte Ugolino della Gherardesca nel 1265 come il più famoso e meglio conservato castello di Acquafredda a Siliqua.
'E evidente come gli ingegneri dell’epoca scegliessero le cime più isolate e inaccessibili per costruirvi le residenze dei potenti dell'epoca; probabilmente comunicavano tra loro mediante segnali luminosi.
Dopo la caduta del conte Ugolino, il castello cadde in mano ai Pisani e non fù più menzionato nei testi, nemmeno nell’atto che sanciva nel 1324 la pace tra i Pisani e gli Aragonesi.
Il documento permetteva ai conti di Donoratico di mantenere in feudo il castello di Gioiosaguardia e delle terre circostanti ma cedeva al re tutti gli altri castelli posseduti nell’Isola, compreso quello d’Acquafredda. Presumibilmente distrutto dai Pisani nel 1308, sicuramente dal 1324 il castello non esisteva più nel censimento del Fara.
Com'è fatto:
Il castello presenta una pianta esagonale attraversata da un cortile principale lastricato per buona parte della sua lunghezza. Superata la breve rampa di accesso, ai lati del cortile troviamo nel lato sinistro i resti della cisterna con i muri con volta a botte, seguita da entrambi i lati da alcune aree funzionali ( depositi, stalle, residenze dei servitori ).
Alla fine del cortile troviamo le fondamenta della base della torre, con nell'accesso una breve ma ben lavorata scalinata e all'interno il pilastro centrale di sostegno. Una parte della torre crollando è finita nelle aree funzionali a ovest, di cui rimane un enorme ammasso di detriti compatto.
Oltre la fine del cortile rimane osservabile la
fornace, accessibile dall'esterno del castello. Nel lato ovest, oltre l'accesso, sono presenti i resti del muro di cinta e una canaletta per il deflusso delle acque.
Quando l'area fù abbandonata si formarono vari strati di detriti composti da blocchi squadrati, mattoni, intonaco, calce; le coperture sono state le prime a crollare,
seguite poi dai muri perimetrali.
Da vedere in zona:
Nei dintorni nel Monte Olladiri e nel vicino Monte Zara possiamo esplorare diverse interessantissime Domus de Janas di epoca prenuragica ( vedi video precedente ) e la cava abbandonata del Monte Olladiri dove si estraeva trachite rossa.

Places to see in ( Trento - Italy ) Fontana del Nettuno
Places to see in ( Trento - Italy ) Fontana del Nettuno
The Fountain of Neptune is located in Piazza Duomo in Trento , where it was customary to install the car of the fires for the feast of San Vigilio , and was built according to a plan by the sculptor Francesco Antonio Giongo di Lavarone between 1767 and 1769. For this fountain the sculptor conceived a system of flowing water without interruption. The statue of the original Neptune is the work of Stefano Salterio da Laglio , but due to the damage sustained over time it was moved to the courtyard of the nearby Thun palace at the end of 1939 , while on the fountain there is a bronze copy from 1945 made in 1942 by Davide Rigatti.
Under the statue of Neptune the fountain is adorned with tritons, sea horses and other sculptural groups, also originally by Stefano Salterio, later replaced in the nineteenth century by copies made by the sculptor Andrea Malfatti ( 1832 - 1917 ) on drawings of the painter Ferdinando Bassi (Trento, 1819 - Venice, 1883 ). The southern upper triton is a further copy made in 1920 by Davide Rigatti.
The first official act for the construction of a fountain that brought healthy water within the walls of Trento was carried out by the consular magistrate, the self-governing body of the city, with a resolution dated December 23, 1766 , for the health and decoration of the city. The initial intention, however, was modest, and provided for the use of private funding in exchange for granting citizenship. The initiative, however, had little success as the members were only two.
On October 10, 1920 , at the official ceremony of Trento annexation to the Kingdom of Italy , the corbel that held the upper southern Newt gave way under the load of the crowd who had gone from the fountain, bringing down the statue. Also in this case it proceeded to rebuild and replace it instead of repair, entrusting the work to the sculptor Davide Rigatti, a pupil of Andrea Malfatti, who had already made busts of Giovanni Prati and Giuseppe Verdi for the gardens of Piazza Dante. The triton was sculpted in trentine stone instead of sandstone in Arco, in anticipation of further substitutions.
