SITES IN VENTICELLO

The Colossus Head inside the CROTEFOS,[ the Temple of Medusa].

BACK TO INTRODUCTION

THE VENTICELLO SECTION IS NEW (Today being Dec 29 2001) , AND WILL TAKE A WHILE TO DEVELOP. THERE ARE A COUPLE PHOTOS BELOW TO FILL IN WHILE I WORK ON THE REST.

PROSPARCA MUSEUM

VIEW LOOKING NORTH TOWARD THE 3 WELCOMING STATUES IN THE PIAZZA MERCOLEDI (PLACE MERCREDY). THE BUILDING JUST ABOVE THE STATUES WITH THE PILLARS IS THE MAIN MUSEUM IN VENTICELLO. IT IS CALLED THE PROSPARCA.

THE ALLA DEGLI UCELLI (The Hall of Birds) IS A VERY OLD STRUCTURE, BUILT OVER 20 YEARS AGO. IT WAS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR MY AQUARIUM WHICH PREDATES VENTICELLO BY 10 YEARS. ALL OF THE BUILDINGS FROM THE AQUARIUM CITY OF CARSAMBA (pron. Char-sham-ba) WERE TRANSFERED TO VENTICELLO IN 1989. THE STRUCTURE HAD FUNCTIONED AS A PALACE, AND I FOUND IT MOST INTERESTING HOW ONE OF THE DOMINANT FISH CHOSE THE SPACE FOR ITS TERRITORY, CHASING INTRUDERS FROM THE INTERIOR. THE BUILDING GETS ITS NAME FROM THE TILES I MADE WHICH COVER THE BACK WALL WITH VARIATIONS ON A LARGE BIRD TILE FROM THE TOPKAPI PALACE IN ISTANBUL.

HERE WE ARE IN THE PLACE MERCREDY AGAIN, BUT LOOKING SOUTH WITH OUR BACKS TO THE MUSEO PROSPARCA. THE BUILDING ADJOINING THE BLACK DOMED TOWER IS THE OTHER HALF OF THE PALACE FROM CARSAMBA. IT IS NOW CALLED THE PALAZZO CORNO D'ORO (Palace of the Golden Horn). FOR YEARS, IT HAS ALSO BEEN A MUSEUM. IT DISPLAYS ONLY ONE OBJECT AT A TIME, GENERALLY. THE BELL TOWER'S LOOK-OUT DECK HAS SOME OF THE MOST INTRICATE TILES IN THE CITY. IN A SMALL SQUARE HIDDEN IN THE PHOTO BY THE GIANCOLI TOWER IN THE FOREGROUND, IS VENTICELLO'S MOST SACRED SQUARE. IT IS THE DOMINOCCHIO, NAMED FOR THE CERAMIC DOMINOS I'D MADE IN THE 80's. THE SQUARE IS PAVED WITH THIS SET FROM WHICH I INVENTED THE DOMINOCCHIO GRAMMER OF TAPISSARY. ALSO NOTICE HOW THE PLACE MERCREDY IS PAVED WITH A VARIETY OF MY TILES. IT IS LIKE A GALLERY OF THE GROUND.

HERE IS A VIEW OF VENTICELLO FROM THE LAGO CAMARENA. THE VIEW OF THE LITTLE LAKE SEEN HERE COVERED IN TOP FLOATING PLANTS, BETRAYS THE LEANING OF THE GIANCOLI TOWER. MANY OF THE BUILDINGS OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEGUN TO SINK AT DIFFERENT ANGLES. SOME HAVE BEEN RIGHTED, WHILE OTHERS ARE ALLOWED TO COOPERATE WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE LAND.

Sometimes I travel outside of Venticello. I have spent much time in Paris and have some information on a really charming apartment that I rent for my short stays there. For those of you who may be thinking about a trip to the city of lights, you may want to take a look at this. Click above on paris, france to get there.
