Baroque and Renaissance…

The rainy day in Rome does not promise a pleasant stroll.
You can definitely lose yourself in the romantic Rome and head to the Imperial Forum.

Before arriving at the destination, however, I recommend a stop at the Chiesa del Gesù, an important example of mixing as between Baroque and Renaissance.

The Church has single dominant t nave that focuses the attention on the altar and the dome is beautifully painted with an unusual three-dimensional effect.

Soul and Love at Castel Sant’Angelo.

Spring is romantic … so what ’is better than spending a beautiful morning to visit an exhibition about love?

In the splendid setting of Castel Sant’Angelo, in fact, held an exhibition dedicated to the ”Tale of Cupid and Psyche”: one hundred works dedicated to the love story between the beautiful mortal Psyche and Eros(Cupid), the immortal God (Fable of Apuleius, a writer and philosopher of the second century AD).

In the end, this is the moral of the story: the soul, Psyche, can become immortal  only by love, Eros.

Beautiful journey through history, from ancient Egyptian period to  Roman period,visiting the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, the neoclassical period and the Baroque!

The virtuosity of the Piano:Bach

Creativity.
This, I think is the best way to describe Bach.

Baroque music, finds full expression in his works full of energy, full of virtuosity.
Actually this music, created for other instruments, will find its full realization, in the piano.
If you love the piano, then, do not miss the concert of tonight, Homage to Bach, of Alexander Tharaud, young French talent.
