Trevi Fountain

The next morning, after a delicious breakfast of croissants, coffee and fresh fruit in the beautiful garden (Pietro’s pride and joy), Mariana and Murat packed a picnic basket of bread, tomatoes, nectarines and pecorino cheese, and climbed back in their car. ‘So,’ explained Mariana as they set off. ‘This castle isn’t a major tourist site, but my parents and I used to visit this castle a lot when I was little, just because it’s so beautiful. It’s actually a private home, but they still let people

Bill Fontana is an internationally reputable composer and pioneering American sound sculptor born April 25th 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio. Since the mid to late 70’s Fontana has used sound as a sculptural medium, able to interact and transform our perceptions of visual and architectural spaces. Fontana is constantly engaged with the idea that at any moment there will be something musical to hear in the coherent sound patterns around him. His sound sculptures use the human or natural environment surrounding

Careening through Rome on a Vespa, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck are famous for their outstanding contributions to the classic film, Roman Holiday, but too often a third key player, the eternal city itself, whose role adds meaningful allegories and timeless appeal, is overlooked as merely a backdrop. The movie opens with a grand introduction to the life of young Princess Ann, who is traveling on a goodwill tour through Europe. Later, the film pans up from the crowded winding streets to a struggling

“Forever” I will forever be tied there. Everything about it - the food, the air, the smell, the sights - was wonderful! It all started when my great grandpa Forst died and left my mom money. He loved to travel, so my mom knew that we should use the money for travel. A couple of years later my parents said, “We're going to Italy.” “Really?!” I exclaimed. “You better believe it, or you're not going!” “ I believe it, I believe it!!!!” As soon as I stepped into the airport, I knew it was going to

a sandy shore. Sunbathing on a beach towel has never appealed to me. Give me a boogie board, inner tube, surfboard, kayak or sailboat to fill my scrapbook with memories. Wherever I travel, inevitably water plays a part in the itinerary. The Trevi fountain in Rome, the canals of Venice, the crystal clear lakes of

abroad trip that she took last semester to Rome, Italy. She told me stories about how she would spend her days in Italy, which consisted of enjoying her favorite Italian dishes like pizza and pasta and sightseeing the historical sites such as the Trevi Fountain and the Coliseum. Since she spent three months in Italy, I asked her if sightseeing ever got repetitive, to which she responded that she was mesmerized during her time in Rome and that it felt surreal that she was even there so she would even

hard due to the harsh reality of our country 's past. This popular photograph often seen in textbooks is a result of segregation in American history. Captivating is one word I would use to describe the photo of a colored man drinking from a water fountain. The photograph is in black and white and helps magnify the importance this photo has today. We can look at this photograph from our past and for many years to come, try to answer the many questions of why segregation existed. The gross injustice

the breath of a dragon, blows the palm trees rustling their feather like fronds. After all, it is Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. The warbling and fascinating pocket-sized birds frolic and purify themselves in the main courtyard fountain. The water splashing from the fountain makes its’ own musical symphony when looking at the grand stairs, and then even further as they appear to climb into the heavens. Tenants still occupy several of the apartments as they lounge on their balconies enjoying a frosty

Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was a French artist, known for his contributions to the Dada movement and for his influence on other artists that followed him. He was born in Blainville-sur-Crevon, a small town in northern France where his father served as a notary. His mother was artistically inclined and thus Duchamp became interested in sketching and painting when he was a teenager. At the age of seventeen, he moved to Paris to study art at the Académie Julian. As a young artist, he was influenced

They initially trialed an Elkay and an Oasis retrofit on two existing water fountains. They 've been much happier with the Elkay model and all subsequent installs have been Elkays. For Allegheny College campus, they have to replace the filters once maybe twice a year. Our recent order had the retrofits with filters (for already installed compatible fountains) at $789 and a new fountain with the filtered bottle filler at $828 (marked down from $1176 due to a summer sale).
