FLORENCE: Tomb of famous ITALIAN AUTHOR (ORIANA FALLACI) and her GREEK lover (PANAGOULIS)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the beautiful Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori (The Evangelical Cemetery at Laurels) which is located in Florence, Italy. Here we will find the tomb Oriana Fallaci (29 June 1929 - 15 September 2006) who was an Italian journalist, author, and political interviewer. A partisan during World War II, she had a long and successful journalistic career. Fallaci became famous worldwide for her coverage of war and revolution, and her interviews with many world leaders during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
In the early 1970s, Fallaci had a relationship with the subject of one of her interviews, Alexandros Panagoulis, who had been a solitary figure in the Greek resistance against the 1967 dictatorship, having been captured, heavily tortured and imprisoned for his (unsuccessful) assassination attempt on dictator and ex-Colonel Georgios Papadopoulos. Panagoulis died in 1976, under controversial circumstances, in a road accident. Fallaci maintained that Panagoulis was assassinated by remnants of the Greek military junta and her book Un Uomo (A Man) was inspired by his life. In her tomb, show here in this video, there is a dedication to Panagoulis.

Places to see in ( Florence - Italy ) Stibbert Museum
Places to see in ( Florence - Italy ) Stibbert Museum
The Stibbert Museum is located on via Frederick Stibbert on the hill of Montughi in Florence, Italy. The museum contains over 36,000 artifacts, including a vast collection of armour from Eastern and Western civilizations.
The museum was founded by Frederick Stibbert (1838–1906). His father was English and his mother Italian; he received his education in England. The Stibbert family's extreme wealth came from Frederick's grandfather, Giles Stibbert, who was the commander in chief for the British East India Company in Bengal at the end of the 18th century and ruled as governor for many years.
Frederick Stibbert inherited the entire estate from his grandfather and did not work for the rest of his life. Instead, he dedicated his life to collecting objects, antiques, and artifacts and turned his villa into a museum. When the size of the collections outgrew the villa, Stibbert hired architect Giuseppe Poggi, painter Gaetano Bianchi and sculptor Passaglia to add on rooms. In 1906, when Stibbert died, his collection was given to the city of Florence and was opened to the public. Stibbert and his family are buried at Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori, Florence.
The villa, which was once Stibbert's home, has 57 rooms that exhibit all of his collections from around the world. Most of the walls are covered in leather and tapestries and the rooms are crowded with artifacts. Paintings are displayed throughout every room, including still lifes and portraits. There is also valuable furniture, porcelains, Tuscan crucifixes, Etruscan artifacts, and an outfit worn by Napoleon I of France. The museum contains a cafe and a bookstore.

Arnold Bocklin: vita e opere in 10 punti
Breve biografia della vita e delle opere di Arnold Bocklin, uno dei principali esponenti del Simbolismo tedesco. Nuovo video della serie #artistiin10punti. ▼▼CONTINUA SOTTO▼▼
Arnold Böcklin nacque il 16 ottobre 1827, a Basilea, in Svizzera. Il suo periodo di apprendistato, che durò fino al 1850, lo vide studente dell’Accademia di belle arti di Düsseldorf. Nel 1848 si trasferì a Parigi dove ebbe l’opportunità di entrare in contatto con l’opera di artisti del calibro di Corot, Delacroix e Couture. Nel 1850 Böcklin trovò una forte e nuova ispirazione a Roma, nel mondo antico e nella mitologia classica. Ecco quindi che i suoi dipinti vennero inondati dalla calda luce del sole italiano, dalla rigogliosa vegetazione del sud. Ma anche dalla luce brillante della campagna romana e dalle antiche rovine con pastori solitari, ninfe e centauri.
