  • Neue Burg plays on antique instruments

    Yesterday the KHM (Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna) kindly invited a bunch of peoples with cameras to take a closer look and even play on their Collection of Historic Musical Instruments situated at Neue Burg next to the Nationalbibliothek. It´s one of the biggest (and most important) collections of instruments from the Renaissance area, started by the Habsburg family and quite a few of the instruments are still used today! Admire Mozarts violin, beautiful claviers of all kinds and all the other the “tools” of other amazing musicians!

  • Lungomare di Napoli

    On my second day in Naples I just walked around, first down through the Quartieri Spagnoli and then went just along the Lungomare. Passing Castell del`Ovo until I reached Chiaia, a more “noble” area of Naples. Such a beautiful promenade with lots and lots of cafés and Osterias to take a little rest.

  • Glas & Stone

    After wandering around Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II I decided to be brave, ignore my fear of hights and take a walk on the roof the Duomo di Milano …

    Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II built from 1865 and 1877 is one of the oldest shopping malls of the world. Designed by Giuseppe Mengoni who died the tragic way of falling from the roof of the one galleria he had built.

And what a view! The roofs of Milan and all the (little) details of the Duomo. I almost expected all the creatures (the gargoyles) to come alive like in a movie!
