The picture shows a Roman glass bowl consisting of four large segments of colorless, purple, yellow, and blue glass. Applied to the interior of the bowl at the center of each segment a hanging garland.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: an amazing #Roman glass garland bowl, that represents a peak of Roman glassmaker’s skill at producing vessels. Very few ancient vessels were made of large sections or bands of different colored glass, and this is the only known example that combines...🧵1/2

Le stelle brillano attraverso una delle finestre vuote dell'Abbazia di San Galgano.

Le stelle brillano attraverso una delle finestre vuote dell'Abbazia di San Galgano.

Le vetrate più preziose.
Da solo nel buio, accanto all'abbazia, guardo le stelle e per qualche decina di minuti tutto il mondo diventa un ricordo lontanissimo, per un po' mi scordo di me e di tutti i miei limiti.
Una breve tregua prima di crollare di nuovo nella realtà nei modi più sconfortanti.

En esa nada pura
donde vive el poema
estar como de tránsito,
de viaje, de fiesta, de visita…

Vivir en el poema
el otro lado del poema.
Vivir la vida del poema
en el continuo tránsito del yo.

This deep honey-yellow glass jug fairly glows with iridescence. Dark turquoise handles and spiralling trails provide contrast. Perhaps used for unguents, it was made in the eastern Mediterranean, probably in Roman Palestine. 🏺 #ancientbluesky

My photo shows a Roman cobalt blue mould-blown glass scent bottle in the form of a (scallop?) shell. It has a cylindrical neck with a folded rim. There is a round sectioned handle at either side of the neck. Dimensions: height 8.5 cm,  diameter 5.2 cm. It was bequeathed to the British Museum by Felix Slade in 1869.

A terracotta figurine of a dog standing on four legs, holding a small animal in its mouth. The dog has a slender body, pointed ears, and a slightly curved tail. The surface of the sculpture is rough and textured, with patches of white primer. The small animal in the dog's mouth appears to be another quadruped, possibly a hare or a smaller dog. The sculpture is displayed on a white surface against a neutral beige background.

I tram son sempre stata la mobilia del mondo
l'arredo di città, della Milano d'ogni conto e luogo
d'ogni musica e festa nel cuore

Il passo del tempo
e lo scoppio a motore

Milano si spara al gemello sinistro

Era come stare in uno stato dove c’è la guerra.
I nemici vestiti come gli amici.
Gli alleati come Conti di Montecristo.

tutto per aria, meno il fazzoletto
che annodo alla nuca per i lunghi capelli
che non avrei pettinato
per via della guerra

My photo shows a reproduction of the so-called Sappho Fresco, which is a famous Roman fresco from Pompeii. The original was on loan when I visited the Museo Arqueologico di Napoli. The portrait-style painting depicts a wealthy young woman holding writing implements. She wears a plain green tunic with a pinkish-browny-grey mantle covering her shoulders, large gold hoop earrings, and a gold wire hairnet beneath the rim of which emerge curls of hair which frame her face. In her left hand she holds a wax writing tablet and in her right hand she holds a black iron stylus pen which she rests against her bottom lip. She gazes in thoughtful contemplation. This fresco is known as the Sappho Fresco after the Greek Poet. On display National Archaeological Museum Naples

We found some of these, though without bronze. It was a very, very odd feeling. They are beautifully made, with multi-process craftsmanship. The sclera was white marble, carefully carved and smoothed to shape, with a high polish to the surface, and the corners of the eyes delicately painted 1/

A close-up of a glass jug with a rounded body, a narrow neck, and a curved handle. The jug has a deep blue base color with splashes of white and brown red, giving it a marbled appearance. Cracks and signs of aging are visible on the surface.

#Fascinating world of ancient #glass: a #Roman jug made of blue glass with splashed decoration in white, yellow and brown. The decoration was created by applying fragments of coloured glass to the surface of the vessel before it was fully blown. The technique was fashionable...🧵1/2

Foto del cielo al tramonto in un paesaggio urbano, con nuvole scure frastagliate illuminate da una luce con toni arancioni intensi, sopra le sagome scure degli edifici.

Ci sono momenti - tanti - in cui mi perderei dentro ogni dettaglio di una nuvola e della luce che la avvolge.

Il poeta

Non dormiva mai,
accompagnava la propria solitudine.
Tutti dicevano convinti
che lo si vedeva soltanto
nella luce della distanza.
Immemorabile vertigine di senso.

Lo sapete, non posso fare a meno di alzare gli occhi verso il cielo notturno. E allora può accadere che una stella, osservata in un certo frangente, diventi la "scatola" di un ricordo o sensazione, come succede spesso con una canzone o un profumo particolare.
Così nasce uno #stellaricordo.
