<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Le foto a questo libricino in scala 1/12, "QUO VADIS", le ho fatte parecchi mesi fa perché attualmente "Quo Vadis" si trova nella sua nuova casa e tra mani amiche che l'hanno accolto con affetto e gioia e questo mi ha fatto veramente piacere. Non le avevo ancora pubblicate e quindi lo faccio ora.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perché questo titolo: "I Leoni di Roma"?!? Bè i leoni l'hanno fatta da signori a Roma nel periodo degli antichi splendori... soprattutto nei circhi... Eterni nemici dei Gladiatori ed innocenti nemici dei martiri romani. Ma anche oggi ce ne sono ancora molti che rimangono silenti testimoni della vecchiaia della loro stanca e antica signora: Roma. Ce ne sono tanti di Leoni presenti a Roma ma sono tutti di pietra o di marmo!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Approfitto di questo momento di gioia per farvi i miei auguri attraverso i miei libricini. I tre libri che vi presenterò sono stati commissionati parecchi mesi fa da <a href="http://oiseaudenim.blogspot.it/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">Peiwen (Oiseau de Nim)</span></b></a>. Un lavoro che ho fatto in un mesetto ma che mi decido solo ora a pubblicare perché l'immagine usata per il libro che preferisco e che mi è stata fornita da Peiwen, mi ha sempre fatto pensare al Natale. È strano... eppure ogni volta che la vedevo e notavo la ciliegina rossa mi veniva in mente il Natale. Così eccoli qua.</span></div>

<b style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well it is a very rare collectible book written by an Italian-British poet, Christina Rossetti, whose name was familiar to me because She is the sister of the famous painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The original book in 1:1 scale is a rarity with very high price due to the beauty of the cover and the artistic wealth of the content.

Ho cercato di rispettare per quanto possibile la versione originale. Solo il dorso della copertina ho dovuto rifarlo ex novo ma ora ho trovato anche l'originale e forse riesco a rielaborarlo meglio. Comunque sono abbastanza soddisfatta considerato il bel po' di lavoro notturno che mi è costato. Ma ora per far conoscere meglio questo piccolo grande libricino vorrei parlarvi un po' dell'autrice... Preparatevi perché questo è un post molto lungo. Mi devo rifare dell'assenza ;o))</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Christina fu una figura di alto spessore nella Gran Bretagna della seconda parte del 1800. Di una religiosità profonda, i suoi poemi spesso rispecchiano questa sua devozione che giocò un ruolo importante nella sua vita. Fu una figura rilevante per quanto riguarda la bellezza delle impronte d'Arte che sono rimaste indelebili sino ad oggi ma d’altro canto come era molto usuale, fu anche tormentata per le sue storie d’amore finite male proprio per colpa di questa religiosità non condivisa in pieno dall'amato… Morì nel 1894 e le sue opere furono a lungo dimenticate fino alla riscoperta negli anni '70 da appassionate studiose femministe.</span></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Christina Rossetti was born in London in 1830, one of four children of Italian parents. Her father was the poet Gabriele Rossetti (1783-1854), professor of Italian at King’s College from 1831. He resigned in 1845 because of blindness. All the four children in the family became writers, Dante Gabriel also gained fame as a painter.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Iniziò a scrivere molto presto, tanto che nel 1850, con lo pseudomino di Ellen Alleyne, contribuì a scrivere sette poemi per la neonata rivista <b>"The Germ" (Il Germe)</b> portavoce del nuovo movimento Pre-raffeaelita. Quindi fece parte anche lei della Confraternita, almeno agli inizi; se ne distaccò quando si accorse che l’elemento sensuale andava sempre più prevalendo su quello della purezza delle forme e della mistica dei cuori. Non si può dire che non fosse coerente... forse troppo ;o) Solo all'età di 31 anni vide pubblicata la sua prima raccolta di poesie, <b>"Goblin Market"</b> and <b>"Other Poems"</b> (1862). L'opera ottenne una critica molto favorevole.</span></span></div>

<b style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In 1850, under the pseudonym Ellen Alleyne, she contributed seven poems to the Pre-Raphaelite journal The Germ, which had been founded by her brother William Michael and his friends. Rossetti is best known for her ballads and her mystic religious lyrics. Her poetry is marked by symbolism and intense feeling. Rossetti's best-known work, "Goblin Market" and "Other Poems", was published in 1862.</b></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I suoi versi spesso ebbero come protagonisti i bambini, ma ella divenne famosa soprattutto per i suoi bellissimi poemi d’amore. Non un amor “Cortese” o idealizzato ma storie d’amore dolorosamente vissute che a volte sanno trasformare le pene nate dal cuore in un qualcosa di leggero e giocoso. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Christina infatti rende vive le proprie insicurezze e le proprie paure di fronte alla realtà dei sentimenti e di quelle che sono state le sue esperienze. Il suo amore è insicuro e fragile che non chiede cose impossibili all’amato caricandolo di doveri che neanche lei sopporta. Oddio… questa è certo una filosofia che non condivido molto direi!! </span></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">The collection established Rossetti as a significant voice in Victorian poetry.

She has been compared to Emily Dickinson but the similarity is more in the choice of spiritual topics than in poetic approach. Rossetti's poetry being one of intense feelings, her technique refined within the forms established in her time. </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Questo movimento ha come genio ispiratore il pittore ed architetto italiano <b>Raffaello Sanzio </b>(da qui il nome pre-raffaeliti). C’è infatti nella loro pittura, un rifiuto di ogni accademicità tanto da diventare portatori di una freschezza d’arte che avevano proprio i pittori fino all’epoca di Raffaello che poi fu contaminata dalle varie scuole. <span style="text-align: center;">Vorrei dedicare al loro lavoro altri post in futuro quindi mi fermo qui.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">The group's intention was to reform art by rejecting what it considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by the Mannerist artists who succeeded Raffaello and Michelangelo. Its members believed the Classical poses and elegant compositions of </span><span style="color: #bf9000;">Raffaello Sanzio</span><span style="color: #0c343d;"> in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art, hence the name </span><span style="color: #bf9000;">"Pre-Raphaelit</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">e"</span><span style="color: #0c343d;">.</span></span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A mio avviso, i loro dipinti sono eccezionali e hanno quell’atmosfera medioevale ed eterea che mi piace molto.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nei secoli artisti, celebrità e persone comuni hanno affollato i locali di questo famoso teatro. Fin dai primi anni dell'800 vennero segnalati fatti strani comprovati da numerosi testimoni: musica dall'origine inspiegabile, risate che scoppiano fragorose in stanze vuote, passi e parole sussurrate... addirittura una cantante che perde la voce. Cosa c'è di vero in tutte queste testimonianze? Forse non lo sapremo mai ma c'è un qualcosa che va al di là della scienza e della razionalità. Un qualcosa che ci spinge a credere in ciò che non vediamo. Infatti se di giorno queste storie vengono raccontate come leggende e superstizioni, di notte esse divengono terribilmente più "reali" e... angoscianti. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Over the centuries, artists, celebrities and common people crowded the rooms of this well-known theater. Since the early years of the 1800 were reported strange facts proven by numerous witnesses: unexplained music origin, loud laughter that burst in empty rooms, steps and whispered words... even a singer who loses his voice. Is there any truth in all these witnesses? Perhaps we'll never know but there is something that goes beyond the science and rationality. Something that leads us to believe in what we don't see. In fact, if in the morning these stories are told as legends and superstitions, at night they become terribly more "real" and ... distressing. </b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Il Teatro Carlo Felice venne costruito sui resti della chiesa di San Domenico, la quale con l’annesso convento, venne demolita nel 1826 per dare inizio ai lavori. Il teatro fu completato nel 1828 e in occasione dell’inaugurazione, venne data in scena l’opera “Bianca e Ferdinando” di Vincenzo Bellini. I palchi del Carlo Felice ospitarono re e regine di tutta Europa e la ricca nobiltà europea che veniva ad ascoltare questi melodrammi molto in voga in quell’epoca.</span></div>

I teatri antichi mi affascinano terribilmente. Basta chiudere gli occhi per immaginarsi tutte le emozioni di cui questi luoghi devono essere stati testimoni. Attori e cantanti, direttori d’orchestra e musicisti e poi chi era dietro le quinte… artigiani e macchinisti… un mondo invisibile che sta dietro ogni rappresentazione. Trepidazione e paura, trionfo e umiliazione… tutte emozioni che sono in qualche modo rimaste intrappolate in queste mura come una batteria in grado di accumulare energia. <b>Nulla muore ma tutto si trasforma...</b></div>

Le prime voci su un fantasma circolano nel 1850 quando <b>Sofia Corvelli</b>, una giovane cantante di straordinaria bellezza e talento si sta preparando per andare in scena. La ragazza è sola nel suo camerino immersa nei suoi pensieri. All’improvviso la temperatura nella stanza precipita e una figura femminile si materializza a mezz’aria. Con una reazione istintiva Sofia aggredisce l’intrusa. L’ombra si ritrae e scompare, ma Sofia si accorge subito che qualcosa è cambiato… non riesce più a parlare. L’ombra le ha rubato la voce… Non rimane che annullare la rappresentazione, ma un attimo prima che il direttore dia l’annuncio in sala, Sofia fa un ultimo tentativo. Sofia Corvelli infatti, aveva molti talenti, alcuni noti come la voce e la straordinaria bellezza; ma ne aveva anche un altro che teneva ben segreto: era una potente medium. Sofia sapeva che i fantasmi si placano con una potente offerta. Corre così improvvisamente nel suo camerino, afferra un fiore bianco e lo depone delicatamente nel punto esatto dove era apparsa l’ombra. In quello stesso momento le torna la voce. Si va in scena e per la cantante è un trionfo. </div>

<b>The first rumors of a ghost, circulating in 1850 when Sofia Corvelli, a young singer of extraordinary beauty and talent is preparing to go on stage. The girl is alone in her dressing room deep in thought. Suddenly the room temperature falls and a feminine figure materializes in midair. With an instinctive reaction Sofia attacking the intruder. The shadow shrinks and disappears. Sofia immediately has notice that something has changed ... she is no longer able to speak. The shadow stole her voice ... All is compromised… But just a moment before the director gives the announcement to the people, Sofia made a last attempt. Sofia Corvelli in fact, had many talents, some well-known as the voice and the extraordinary beauty, but She also had another secret he kept well: it was a medium. Sofia knew that ghosts were placated with an offer. She runs so suddenly in his dressing room, grab a white flower and places it gently on the exact spot where the shadow had appeared. At the same moment her voice back. Opera and the singer was an absolute triumph. </b></div>

La tradizione popolare vuole che l’ombra apparsa alla cantante, sia quella di <b><u>Leila Carbone</u></b>. Giovanissima e aggraziata figlia di un liutaio molto famoso in città, vissuta nella seconda metà del ‘500. Sfortuna vuole che lei si innamori di un giovane nobile dell’epoca la cui madre non era affatto felice di quell’unione. Quest’ultima fa in modo di accusare ingiustamente Leila, della grave accusa di stregoneria per liberarsi della sua presenza. Additata come colpevole delle peggiori infamie, fu processata e imprigionata nelle segrete della chiesa di San Domenico dove vi fu lasciata morire tra stenti atroci. Il luogo dove proprio oggi si trova appunto il Teatro Carlo Felice. </div>

<b>Popular tradition says that the Phantom of the Opera appeared at the singer, was Leila Carbone. Young and graceful daughter of a very famous lute maker in Genoa, lived in the second half of the ‘500. Unfortunately, She falls in love with a young nobleman of that time whose mother was not happy of that union. The bad and rich woman caused the ruin of Leila. The Young girl was seriously accused of witchcraft. Singled out as guilty of the worst infamies, was tried and imprisoned in the dungeons of San Domenico Church where She have found the agony of death after the Agony of her Life. The place is precisely the Theater Carlo Felice. </b></div>

<i><b>Il Custode racconta:</b> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
«Stavo facendo un giro lungo il perimetro del teatro per vedere se era tutto a posto. Per rientrare, infilo la chiave nel portone… niente, non si apre. Pensavo che fosse davvero strana la cosa… nel frattempo arriva la responsabile dell’impresa di pulizie perché era l’ora di inizio del loro turno. Lei inserì la sua chiave per aprire la porta ma niente… la porta rimaneva sempre bloccata. Lei allora si rivolse verso di me dicendo: “uhmmm è Leila che ci fa il solito scherzo. Ce lo fa spesso per impedirci di andare a lavorare”. Io pensavo che mi stesse prendendo in giro, così con fare un po’ scherzoso e rivolto verso il portone dissi ad alta voce: “Beh Leila, su su. Ora ti sei divertita abbastanza. Ci fai andare a lavorare per favore?”. In quel momento il click della serratura che si apriva… il portone si era aperto da solo dopo che ebbi pronunciato quelle parole. Nessuno di noi lo aveva toccato…» </div>

Ad uno di essi,<b> Maurizio Bonfiglio</b>, si manifestò con la scrittura dicendo: <i>“io non sono una STRIA”.</i> Sembra che la parola stria in dialetto antico significasse Strega ma è comunque molto chiara lo stesso.<br />

Egli scrisse di getto anche la sentenza del tribunale che la processò come fosse un lontano riecheggiare rimasto intrappolato in quel luogo funesto. Sentenza scritta di getto e sempre in un linguaggio antico. Più o meno quello che si è riuscito a leggere diceva così: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“La colpevole sia scoata a terra aut sia marchiata cum ferro ardente in lo volto et le sia tagliato naso, orecchio o cavato un ohio a judicii et arbitrio Potestá” </i></div>

Ora voglio immaginare Leila come in questa immagine... piena di luce e di amore... Quell'amore che le fu strappato quando era viva. Spero tanto che per lei prima o poi sarà possibile. Forse il solo far sapere a tutti che era un innocente le potrà essere di aiuto.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DgVSyYLWLtg/UFeHHajFuHI/AAAAAAAAIUM/rMaYQY0g-U8/s1600/Toscana-04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="333" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DgVSyYLWLtg/UFeHHajFuHI/AAAAAAAAIUM/rMaYQY0g-U8/s400/Toscana-04.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La voglia di sperimentare cose nuove per un po', mi ha fatto accendere a intermittenza la lampadina in miniatura presente nel mio cervello. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Come avete potuto notare ultimamente, o</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">gni tanto faccio volontariamente una piccola pausa dai miei piccoli e amati libri per dedicarmi a giocherellare qua è là. Ci voleva proprio... È come sentirsi liberi di creare quello che più ci piace senza troppe costrizioni. Ce ne sono fin troppe nella vita.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3vxGCvB0ESk/UFeHNx52BkI/AAAAAAAAIUk/OiIvBJ0QUUM/s1600/Toscana-03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="356" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3vxGCvB0ESk/UFeHNx52BkI/AAAAAAAAIUk/OiIvBJ0QUUM/s400/Toscana-03.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The desire to experiment new projects and new ways, has made me able to turn on intermittently the light of the ideas in my mind. Just simple ideas, nothing important or considerable at the moment but enough to make me feel free to create something of new. In fact, as you can see, I did a little break this last two months from my little loved books and for this reason, I have now the serenity to start again</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MVGS9UZOhUI/UFeHJw1KBZI/AAAAAAAAIUU/FkK5bdR8L8M/s1600/Toscana-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="371" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MVGS9UZOhUI/UFeHJw1KBZI/AAAAAAAAIUU/FkK5bdR8L8M/s400/Toscana-01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Questi quadrucci sempre in scala 1/12, non sono nulla di particolarmente difficile o di grandioso, ma semplicemte qualcosa di sfizioso e particolare. Basta a volte un solo particolare o dettaglio che costa tempo e fatica per rendere ancora più prezioso e vivo, l'oggetto creato. Non dimentichiamo che creare miniature deve donare divertimento e serenità... un training autogeno fai da te praticamente ;o))) Altrimenti che senso ha? In fondo tentare nuove strade significa anche non fossilizzarci sulle vecchie e a volte senti proprio il bisogno di cambiare un po'. Magari durerà poco, giusto il tempo di avere nuove ispirazioni e motivazioni, ma almeno nel frattempo abbiamo imparato qualcosa di nuovo divertendoci. Sono molto filosofica oggi vero? Sarà il raffreddore...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>These 1/12 scale panels are not anything particularly difficult or great, but just something of funny and new. Sometimes just a single detail can make the difference. Do not forget what means to create miniatures... It should give joy and serenity... An "Autogenic training" in conclusion ;o) Basically, trying new ways also means not fossilize on older. Sometimes we need to change a bit. Maybe a time just long enough to get new inspirations and motivations, but at least in the meantime, we have learned something new while having fun. I am very philosophical today, right? Please, be patient with my English translations.... ;o)</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tra i miei primi esperimenti non poteva mancare Mucha, il mio artista preferito ;o)) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In questo caso la resina è tutta intorno alla silhouette della figura femminile. Ho cercato con le foto di mostrarvi l'effetto reale ma non è che ci sia riuscita granché. Comunque il risultato è molto carino. La resina è un mondo infinito da esplorare. Si ama o si odia.... Quale dei due? Per me è un mix di entrambi. Anche perché si deve avere mano ferma ed una enorme pazienza. Soprattutto si deve "rischiare". Cosa? Di rovinare un lavoro piccolo o grande che sia, che ti è costato tempo, fatica e pazienza. Questi che vi mostro sono dei piccoli esempi di qualche ora dedicata alla resina. È un campo che mi piacerebbe esplorare meglio in futuro.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yom3OnJqjYw/UFeHX66B8gI/AAAAAAAAIVM/saDwCdOzFIk/s1600/Mucha-05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="362" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yom3OnJqjYw/UFeHX66B8gI/AAAAAAAAIVM/saDwCdOzFIk/s400/Mucha-05.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Of course, one of my first experiments is dedicated to Mucha, my favorite artist!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>In this case the resin is just all around the silhouette of the woman figure. I'm trying with my photos to show you the effects of relief and transparency, but it is very difficult. However, the result is very nice. The resin is an infinite world to explore. You love it or hate it .... Which one? For me it is a mix of both. You need to have a steady hand and a great patience. Especially you must "risk". What? To ruin a big or small work almost finished, which it cost your time, effort and patience. My little works are an examples of a few hours dedicated to play with resin finishing. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La difficoltà è cercare di togliere o per lo meno evitare il più possibile la formazione delle malefiche bollicine.... Ti fanno impazzire. Sembra facile ma non lo è e questi piccoli lavori mi hanno comunque impegnato un po'. Questa è una cosa che infatti non amo molto della resina. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The difficulty is to try to remove or at least avoiding as much as possible, the formation of nasty bubbles.... They make you crazy. It seems easy but it isn't. you must be ready to sacrifice some pieces. they will be unusable. For this reason I don't like to work always with resin</span>.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5kOxjLLCJA/UFjiPcP4fDI/AAAAAAAAIV4/vEdM0ulBuvM/s1600/Belle-Fleure-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5kOxjLLCJA/UFjiPcP4fDI/AAAAAAAAIV4/vEdM0ulBuvM/s400/Belle-Fleure-02.jpg" width="395" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La rosa rifinita in resina di questo piccolo pannello, ad esempio, può creare piccoli giochi di luce in 3D che sono veramente un amore. Mi viene in mente una tecnica italiana del "Sospeso e Trasparente" che è veramente una favola. Niente a che vedere con la resina ovviamente, ma da lontano dà questa impressione e il fiore prende vita...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The rose resin finished in this small panel, for example, can play with light with 3D effects. Very nice to see... In Italian we have a special technique of "Suspended and Transparent" which is really beautiful. Nothing to do with the resin of course, but it gives the impression that the flower comes to life ...</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bene, questi tre quadretti li trovate sul mio <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ilcucchiainomagico" target="_blank"><b>ETSY</b></a>. Ho rifinito solo questi tre con la resina per il momento. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bastano soli quattro giorni e il caldo sole della Toscana, tra la Val di Chiana e la Val d'Orcia, per alleggerire la tensione. Certo è troppo poco il tempo per riposarsi e per godere appieno di tutte le bellezze di questa terra stupenda, ma ogni piccola "scappatella" toscana, ci aiuta a scoprire posti nuovi e insoliti. Insomma ci aiuta a rilassarci un po' e a dimenticare seppur per qualche giorno la negatività della nostra vita frenetica. Di solito è Chianciano con le sue terme ad essere la nostra base di partenza. Un po' di relax alle fantastiche "Terme sensoriali" di Chianciano per avere la carica di esplorare i meravigliosi luoghi vicini. Pochissimi giorni vissuti intensamente in attesa delle nostre vere ferie.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nel cuore della Val d'Orcia, in un paesaggio che sembra uscito dalle tele di un pittore, si può facilmente arrivare a <b>Monticchiello</b>. Un piccolissimo borgo antico composto solo da poche case ma ricco di un panorama che toglie il fiato. Tra colline dorate e cipressi maestosi è impossibile non innamorarsi di questi luoghi da sogno. Mentre facevamo il percorso in macchina quasi soffrivo nel non essere in sella ad una bici e poter veramente ammirare con calma questo raro panorama.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Da molto tempo avevo in mente di utilizzare la <b>Coca-Cola </b>per le mie miniature. Un po' perché ormai non faccio e non farò più nulla senza ispirarmi a ciò che mi piace nella vita vera e un po' perché amo da morire queste immagini di bellezze del primo novecento fino ad arrivare ai bellissimi anni '50.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sto un po' toccando tutte le epoche ma le bellezze di questi manifesti sono veramente "uniche".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Molto tempo fa, avrei voluto disegnare così... Infatti il disegno è stato, nella mia adolescenza, uno dei miei sogni nel cassetto e lì purtroppo è rimasto...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ma bando alle ciance ecco il mio primo vassoio "Coca-Cola" in perfetto stile vintage e con una tra le immagini che preferisco in assoluto. Certo quelli originali erano quasi tutti in metallo o in plastica ma io per ovvi motivi ho optato per una personalizzazione più particolare. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ogni tanto ne troverete uno sul mio <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ilcucchiainomagico" target="_blank"><b>ETSY</b></a> sia in forma di poster che in vassoi. Questo qui è quello che mi piace di più in assoluto.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For a long time I planned to use <b>Coca-Cola</b> for my miniatures. From now I will do nothing to inspire me without what I like in real life and a bit 'cause I love these vintage images and a bit because <span style="background-color: white;">all ages are inspiring me for my miniatures. The <b>Coca-Cola beauties</b> are really a collection in 1:1 scale.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There was a time that I wanted to draw like that... In fact one of my dreams was to draw but it remains only a dream.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For my first "Coca-Cola" vintage tray, I had the occasion to show you the Coca-Cola artists' work. The picture used for this tray is one of my favorite and I love it. Sometime you could find a Coca-Cola vintage tray or poster in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ilcucchiainomagico" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>ETSY</b></span></a> shop.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La Coca Cola fu inventata nel <b>1886</b> da <b>John Stith Pemberton</b>, un farmacista statunitense (all'epoca i farmacisti erano tra gli inventori più in voga a quanto pare visto anche le ricerche passate). Il suo primo nome fu "<b>Pemberton's French Wine Coca</b>"!! Direi che è un po' strano come nome vero?!? Ma anche questo era molto in voga all'epoca ;o)) Perché questo nome? Perché il signor Pemberton si ispirò al "vino di coca" o "<b>Vin Mariani</b>", una miscela di vino e foglie di coca molto famosa in Europa alla fine dell'800. Ovviamente ne cambiò la ricetta. Sinceramente sono rimasta un po' di sasso nello scoprire che la Coca Cola è praticamente composto da estratti di noci di Cola ed estratti della pianta di coca ovviamente privati delle sostanze dannose, gli alcaloidi. È una bevanda considerata "<b>soft drink</b>" perché analcolica e leggera il cui colore scuro è dovuto al caramello presente in essa. Comunque per i forti debiti contratti, John Pemberton vendette i diritti e la ricetta nel <b>1919.</b> Da allora la nuova società creata, la<b> Coca-Cola</b> cominciò ad ottenere successi e businessi in tutto il mondo. Ma la storia è lunga tanto da arrivare fino ad oggi.</span></div>

</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><b>"Pemberton's French Wine Coca". </b></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">He may have been inspired by the success of <b>Vin Mariani</b></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, a European coca wine but he changed the recipe in </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">a nonalcoholic version of French Wine Coca. </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">It was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> a glass at soda fountains,</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> which were popular in the United States at the time due to the belief that carbonated water</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> was good for the health.</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> Pemberton claimed Coca-Cola cured many diseases. </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">When launched, Coca-Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> and caffeine</span><span style="line-height: 19px;">. The cocaine was derived from the coca</span><span style="line-height: 19px;"> leaf and the caffeine from kola nut</span><span style="line-height: 19px;">, leading to the name<b> Coca-Cola</b> (the "K" in Kola was replaced with a "C" for marketing purposes).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mi sembra di aver provato una sola volta le sue bollicine ma francamente non ne sono neppure tanto sicura e non me lo ricordo più ehmmm... per le mie tasche è di certo meglio il più accessibile Spumante. E per lo più amo lo <b>Spumante Italiano</b>!! Queste minis l'ho fatte un paio di mesi fa e hanno sorvolato già da tempo l'oceano per raggiungere la loro nuova casa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I vini della regione della Champagne erano conosciuti fin dal Medioevo; venivano prodotti principalmente dai monaci delle numerose abbazie presenti nella regione, che lo usavano come vino da messa. Ma anche i regnanti francesi apprezzavano molto questi vini, fini e leggeri, tanto da offrirli in segno di omaggio agli altri regnanti europei. Si trattava però principalmente di vini fermi, quindi senza spuma, e rossi. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Le guerre ed i saccheggi, che nel </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1600</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> devastarono la regione, causarono la distruzione e l'abbandono delle abbazie e dei conventi, e quindi il decadimento delle annesse vigne.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #660000;">Wines from the Champagne region were known before medieval times. The Romans were the first to plant vineyards in this area of northeast France, with the region being cultivated by at least the 5th century, possibly earlier. Later, churches owned vineyards and monks produced wine for use in the sacrament of Eucharist. French kings were traditionally anointed in Reims, and Champagne wine was served as part of coronation festivities. The Champenois were envious of the reputation of the wines made by their Burgundianneighbours to the south and sought to produce wines of equal acclaim. However, the northerly climate of the region gave the Champenois a unique set of challenges in making red wine. At the far extremes of sustainable viticulture, the grapes would struggle to ripen fully and often would have bracing levels of acidity and low sugar levels. The wines would be lighter bodied and thinner than the Burgundy wines they were seeking to outdo.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Dom Pérignon</b> is a brand of Champagne produced by <b>Moët et Chandon</b>. It is named after <b>Pierre Pérignon</b>, a Benedictine monk who was an important quality pioneer for Champagne wine but who, contrary to popular myths, did not discover the champagne method for making sparkling wines. Dom Pérignon was the first prestige cuvée, an idea proposed by Englishman Laurence Venn. The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936. Dom Pérignon is a vintage champagne, meaning that it is only made in the best year, and all grapes used to make the wine were harvested in the same year. Many champagnes, by contrast, are non-vintage, which means that the champagne is made from grapes harvested in various years.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Una versione afferma che lo champagne sia <b>nato casualmente per errore</b> durante il processo di vinificazione di alcuni vini bianchi; tale errore avrebbe causato lo scoppio di alcune bottiglie poste ad affinare in cantina e quindi portato alla scoperta, da parte dell'abate, della "presa di spuma". Un'altra versione afferma che l'abate, per rendere più gradevole il vino prodotto, vi aggiungesse in primavera dei <b>fiori di pesco e dello zucchero</b>, tappando successivamente la bottiglia con tappi di legno di forma tronco-conica; allo stappare della bottiglia si produceva della spuma. Inizialmente fu soprannominato il <b>Vino del diavolo (le vin du diable) </b>proprio per lo scoppio accidentale di queste bottiglie<b>.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Quale che sia la versione reale, l'abate arrivò alla conclusione che la spuma fosse dovuta ad una rifermentazione (dovuta o ad errori nella vinificazione o all'aggiunta di lieviti - contenuti nei fiori di pesco - e di zucchero) del vino, con conseguente produzione di anidride carbonica.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A questo punto, resosi conto della gradevolezza del vino "spumante", decise di perfezionarne la produzione. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Da quel momento in poi anche altri proprietari di vigne della zona iniziarono a produrre il vino seguendo le indicazioni dell'abate ed i nuovi produttori contribuirono all'affinamento ed al miglioramento della tecnica di produzione dello champagne. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In France, the first sparkling Champagne was created accidentally; its pressure led it to be called<b> “the devil’s wine” (le vin du diable)</b>, as bottles exploded or corks jolted away. In 1844 Adolphe Jaquesson invented the muselet to prevent the corks from blowing out. Initial versions were difficult to apply and inconvenient to remove. Even when it was deliberately produced as a sparkling wine, Champagne was for a very long time made by the méthode rurale, where the wine was bottled before the only fermentation had finished. Champagne did not utilize the méthode champenoise until the 19th century, approximately 200 years after Christopher Merret documented the process. The 19th century saw an explosive growth in Champagne production, going from a regional production of 300,000 bottles a year in 1800 to 20 million bottles in 1850.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the 19th century Champagne was noticeably sweeter than the Champagne of today. The trend towards drier Champagne began when </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Perrier-Jouët</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> decided not to sweeten his 1846 vintage prior to exporting it to London. The designation <b>Brut Champagne</b>, the modern Champagne, was created for the British in 1876. <b>I'm reproducing in miniature the</b> <b>Crémant Imperial</b>.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">La crescita della popolarità dello champagne ha portato alla nascita di aneddoti e leggende difficilmente verificabili, quali il fatto che Dom Pérignon fosse un esperto assaggiatore di vini (in realtà egli era astemio ma, essendo anche vegetariano, era un eccellente assaggiatore di uve), la confessione in punto di morte da parte di Dom Pérignon della ricetta segreta dello champagne (non di ricetta si trattava, ma soltanto dell'indicazione di aggiungere al vino zucchero e miscela di liquori), il fatto che la forma del bicchiere a coppa in cui veniva servito fosse stata modellata sulla forma - considerata perfetta - del </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">seno</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> di </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Madame de Pompadour</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, ed altre ancora.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rimane il fatto che lo champagne è un vino la cui notorietà è diffusa in tutto il mondo ed il cui uso ha assunto valenza simbolica in varie situazioni (basti pensare al varo delle navi, alle premiazioni delle gare automobilistiche e ciclistiche ed in generale a tutte le celebrazioni di eventi particolarmente importanti).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Un tempo la cura dell'igiene e della bellezza era molto semplice e i prodotti usati costituivano il segreto della bellezza pura e semplice delle dame dell'epoca. La cipria e il borotalco sono un esempio di ciò che una signora usava per accrescere il suo fascino. Con la mentalità di oggi ci viene quasi da sorridere ma questi prodotti rappresentavano qualcosa di veramente chic da usare per essere più femminili. Oddio io nemmeno mi trucco e quindi potrei dire che mi trovo in sintonia nell'usare cose semplici.</span></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the past, the beauty toilet was very simple and the products used were the Ladies beauty secrets. The talcum powder are just an example of what a lady used to enhance its charm. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today it may seem strange that such simple products could be considered trendy. Oh</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I don't use the makeup (just sometime) and then I could say that I love simple and natural products.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Il<b> Borotalco Roberts</b> lo usavo da mocciosetta e bè mi piaceva la sensazione di fresco e di pulito che provavo quando la mamma me lo metteva. Trovare questa immagine mi ha fatto tornare bambina all'improvviso e l'ho rimirata per un bel pezzo perché è veramente unica. La storia di questo prodotto italiano nasce nel 1878 in una piccola Farmacia di Firenze, dove sir Henry Roberts, un chimico farmacista inglese, scopre la formula del Boro-Talcum e dà vita a questo semplice prodotto da toeletta. Un prodotto d'avanguardia per quell'epoca e nel 1904 è pronto per essere venduto in farmacia e dal 1908 nell profumerie!! </span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have used the talco when I was a child. I love feeling the fresh sensation on the skin. The history of this Italian product was born in 1878 in a small pharmacy in Florence, where Sir Henry Roberts, an English apothecary chemical, discovered the formula of Boro-Talcum and gives life to this simple toilet product. A new beauty product and in 1904 he was ready to be sold in pharmacies, in 1908 in perfumeries!</b>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fu subito un successo tanto da definire il Borotalco la migliore polvere per la pelle. Nel 1929 nasce lo slogan <b>"Se non è Roberts non è Borotalco"</b>. La sua formula di "talco ventilato" ne faceva anche un prodotto non solo usato per la bellezza ma con proprietà lenitive e antisettiche.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Giocando un po' con il Bristol in questo periodo, ho riscoperto tanti ricordi che mi hanno fatto sorridere. Alcune immagini come quelle di questi Poster non le conoscevo e ne sono rimasta letteralmente affascinata. Così ho creato questi pannelli in scala 1:12. "Made in Italy" ;o) Amo il Vintage e queste immagini ne sono una valida rappresentanza. Sono opere d'arte di <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gino_Boccasile" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">Gino Boccasile</span></b></a> un illustratore pubblicitario italiano, famoso per i suoi manifesti.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A proposito non possono non venirmi in mente le famose "Simpatiche Canaglie". Ricordate? Certo è roba degli anni '80 ;o)) In seguito hanno anche fatto un film intitolato "Le Piccole Canaglie" ma non è assolutamente la stessa cosa. Quella che dico io invece, è la serie originale <span style="background-color: white;">americana nata nel 1922 dalla mente geniale del creatore/produttore di <b>Stanlio e Ollio</b>, <b>Hal Roach</b>. Furono realizzate dal 1930 al 1938 e praticamente i piccoli attori crescono con questa serie.

Queste due semplici parole hanno caratterizzato profondamente il periodo del Medioevo a partire dal XII secolo. Mentre nel periodo precedente la donna veniva vista solo come fonte del male e del peccato, ora diventa una creatura sublime che innalza l’uomo a Dio. Come tale nasce il fondamento dell’Amore cortese che è strettamente legato al codice cavalleresco dell’epoca: generosità, lealtà e devozione.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Romance of Courtly Love practised during the Middle Ages was combined with the Code of Chivalry. There were strict rules of courtly love and the art of courtly love was practised by the members of the courts across Europe during the Middle Ages. The romance, rules and art of courtly love allowed knights and ladies to show their admiration. There were rules which governed courtly love but sometimes the parties, who started their relationship with such elements of courtly love, would become deeply involved. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">El amor cortés es una filosofía del amor que floreció en la Provenza francesa a partir del siglo XI. El amor cortés era una concepción de la Europa medieval que expresaba el amor en forma noble y caballeresca. En general, el amor cortés era secreto y entre los miembros de la nobleza. La teoría del amor cortés supone una concepción platónica y mística del amor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Certo è che l’amore, sublimato a tal punto, serviva ad uso e consumo di chi era costretto a vincoli non piacevoli che all’epoca erano nati soprattutto da doveri e non da piaceri. Inoltre parliamoci chiaro si passava da un eccesso ad un altro. A me piace pensare che la gentilezza e la cavalleria rendessero l’amore non così etereo da renderlo un sogno impossibile frutto di una situazione vissuta nella tristezza e nel dovere ma un dolce e puro amore tra una dama e un cavaliere. Semplicemente questo.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">The origins of Courtly Love were believed to be in Aquitaine in France in the 12th century and spread to other European countries. The art of courtly love was practised in English courts from the 1300's to the 1500's. During this period of time marriages were arranged and had little to do with love. A successful marriage was perceived as one that brought material advantages to the participants and their families. As love was clearly unrelated to marriage the requirement for romance could be gained outside marriage - as long as the rules relating to chastity and fidelity were strictly adhered to.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Las características del amor cortes son, principalmente la humildad, cortesía, adulterio y religión de amor. Sumadas a estas cabe mencionar también cierto deje de utopía y desinterés, ya que el amante, el noble caballero, no busca como fin primordial o último conseguir que su amor sea correspondido, sino que se conforma con el sólo hecho de adular y exaltar a su dama sin exigirle nada a cambio. Al mencionar el termino Religión de amor, me refiero a la adulación y casi devoción que el amante muestra hacia su dama que llega casi a ser como la adoración a Dios o a cualquier otro tipo de dioses o imágenes religiosas, es decir, la dama pasa a ser un elemento sagrado a la hora de amar.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">** <b>Devo fare due correzioni a questo stesso post! </b>Sono <b>DUE anni di Blog</b> e <b>TRE anni che ho cominciato a lavorare alle mie miniature. </b>Avevo scritto il numero sbagliato di anni di vita del mio Blog ma è stato un errore non voluto!! Ciò che festeggio con gioia, sono soprattutto questi Tre anni di miniature. È come se questo mio piccolo mondo fosse stato nel mio cuore da sempre!! ***</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Visto che questi ultimi tempi non sono stati proprio felicissimi e chi più chi meno sta vivendo dei momenti difficili, per tirarci un po' su di morale, ho deciso di lanciare questo Giveaway dallo spirito "Fiabesco" ;o) Anche se a dire il vero questa favola non è che finisca proprio bene eh!! Ma la storia è davvero magica e perfetta per essere rappresentata con un... "Balletto" ;o)). Per rimanere in tema con il post precedente, per questo Giveaway ho preferito questo libricino anche se ne stavo per utilizzare un altro ma in extremis ho cambiato idea e quello lo ritroverete in uno dei due successivi. Ricapitolando, farò dunque </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">TRE regali</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> diversi <u>uno per ogni anno di lavoro con le miniature</u> ma li farò partire in un secondo momento! </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">DUE gli anni di Blog ma TRE i libricini</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, ciascuno con scadenza diversa. Ok? Ecco così ho rimediato all'errore. Questa è un'occasione molto speciale per me e quindi anche questo Giveaway non può essere da meno e spero vi piaccia. Il primo lo faccio partire oggi in cui ho cominciato a pasticciare con il mio blog due anni fa e lo faccio finire un altro giorno molto importante per me il </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10 giugno</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">! Una data speciale che mi sta molto a cuore e chi ormai mi conosce un pochino e legge il mio blog sa di cosa si tratta. Niente giochini strani o indovinelli ok? Solo la gioia di festeggiare insieme a voi quella data speciale e tutti questi anni di mini lavori... Quindi, si parte con il primo!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Two</u> years of Blogging! <u>Three</u> years of joyful miniature work. Since these last days, not really happy for many of us, I decided to open the window of dreams for launching this special Giveaway with a "fairy tale spirit" and with a special smile ;o) Even if this story endings is not so good for ours protagonists, the tale is truly magical and ehmmm... perfect for a "Ballet" ;o)) A Miniature book in theme with the previous post. I wanted to use another little book for this first giveaway, but at the last I changed my mind and you will find it in one of following prizes. In summary, I have <u>three different gifts, one for each year of my miniature work!</u> Three years and so three single miniature books but each of them with a different deadline. This is a very special occasion for me and I hope you like it. I'm starting the first one today and I will publish the name of the winner on <u>June 10th</u>, an important date for me: my Wedding Anniversary! A special date for my heart and who always read my blog, knows what it means. Nothing strange games ok? Just the joy of celebrating with you these years with my miniatures and my loved books...

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Come ho già detto nelle regole, vedete che questo libro è composto da una doppia copertina come amo fare la maggior parte delle volte. Le doppie copertine possono essere di due colori come i libri (bianca e nera) e possono essere abbinate a quella vera e propria del libro: bianca con bianca, nera con nera o bianca e nera o viceversa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>You can see the color of the covers in the pictures and to choose which is your favorite combination with the real cover (Black with black, white with white or black and white or viceversa).</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ora passo a mostrarvi per bene il libro. Come ho già detto è piccolo ma molto ricco. Completamente leggibile mi sono permessa una cosa molto inusuale per me, un carattere più ampio del solito ma ancora in scala 1:12. Visto che si tratta di una fiaba la cosa mi è abbastanza permessa se rimango in certi limiti. Il testo come la maggior parte delle volte è in inglese. Dall'inizio alla fine la fiaba è COMPLETA! Ha un senso e si può leggere interamente. Non è stato facile trovare la storia del lago dei cigni in formato letterario. Ma ci sono riuscita. Non fa parte di nessun libro e quindi mi sono permessa di modificare qualche cosina... È stato veramente bello creare questo libro e le scarpine da ballo ricevute credo che siano veramente magiche... mi hanno fatto apparire un mondo pieno di danza e di tutù. Un mondo che adoro.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>I will show you my book through my loved “Photographic world”. As I already said, this book is small but very rich. COMPLETELY legible, I’m trying an experiment with something very unusual for me: a larger font than usual but still in 1:12 scale! This time the story is a fable so, I can do it respecting certain limits. The text is in English language. From beginning to end, the tale is legible and in integral version! It makes sense and you can read the entire full story. It was not easy to find the story of Swan Lake in a literary format. But I did. It is not a part of any book... It was really a pleasure to create this book. I think that the little ballet shoes received last month inspired me to exploring a new interesting world of dance and tutus. A really magic world.</b></span></div>

Le mie foto sono dotate di parola non lo sapevate? ;o)) Una fata buona mi ha detto che possono parlare ai cuori perché ognuna contiene un pezzettino del mio. Unire la passione delle mini con quelle della fotografia e della grafica è una cosa che mi riempie di gioia e mi aiuta a superare tutte le sgarberie, le delusioni e le amarezze che sia virtualmente, sia nella mia vita reale hanno un po' fatto da padrone ultimamente. </span></div>

The passion of the minis combined with my photography and graphic design is something that fills me with joy and helps me to overcome all negative things, disappointment and bitterness. Well... this is my way to fight them.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Come vedete c'è una piccola novità. Ho firmato sia le mie foto che il mio libro con il mio nome oltre che con il nome del mio blog. Di solito bastava solo quello ma qualcuno ha avuto la bontà di copiare l'immagine del mio vecchio blog, il nome e di vendere le sue creazioni. Reputo questa cosa molto scorretta dato che non sono io! Posso sopportare scopiazzamenti vari di ogni genere ma addirittura il nome e il logo copiati mi sembra veramente degradante per chi lo fa!! Ci vuole talmente tanta pazienza nella vita...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Esco fuori dal letargo di quest'ultimo mese prima di tutto salutandovi uno per uno con affetto. Vi faccio gli auguri di Pasqua con moooolto ritardo ma tra una influenza e l'altra che mi ha messo KO e l'inizio del torpore primaverile con parecchio lavoro da sbrigare, non sono stata molto presente nel mio amato minimondo. Mi avrete dato per dispersa ma sono qui ;o)) L'occasione mi viene data dall'arrivo nella mia casetta di questo spettacolare Giveaway di <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Iris</span><span style="color: #741b47;"> </span></b>del blog <a href="http://irisnukkekoti.blogspot.it/"><b>Iriksen nukkekoti</b></a> che ho avuto la fortuna di vincere</span>. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Proprio grazie a lei sono immersa in atmosfere che mi riportano agli anni dell'adolescenza. Quando insieme ai miei gruppi pop preferiti degli anni '80 amavo anche il balletto. Ebbene sì!! Il Balletto!! Che ricordi quando ho scartato il pacchetto di Iris e visto queste meraviglie... Grazie a Iris e al regalo che gli sto preparando, ho deciso di farmi affascinare completamente da questo mondo fatto di tutù e di scarpette accantonando qualche progetto che avevo in corso. Vi ritroverete quindi in atmosfere presenti e passate che vi faranno sorridere e ricordare storie belle anche se un po' tristi. Farò diversi post a riguardo e vi racconterò le storie dei miei due balletti preferiti. Non amo l'opera ma il balletto mi fa morire anche se non sono ancora mai andata a vederne uno. Strano...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Intanto godetevi qualche foto di queste piccole memorie di una ballerina dei primi del '900 che ormai anziana ogni tanto non può fare a meno di riguardare con nostalgia il suo vestito da ballo e tenere tra le mani le scarpine che hanno calcato tanti palcoscenici...

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Non è simpatico e un po' strambo questo vecchio signore? Quando si ha classe si ha classe non c'è che dire... al contrario di me che dovrei averne di più ma che sono una felice e contenta strampalata e anche un po' imbranata per dirla tutta ;o)). </span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Basta così un po' di fantasia e si può portare con nonchalance anche una fettina di prosciutto a mo' di fazzolettino da taschino, della mortadella come un originale papillon e una fettina di salame come un bizzarro monocolo. Guardandolo mi vengono in mente i personaggi di Vittorio de Sica... quando interpretava un conte che ormai ridotto in povertà aveva solo la ricchezza del suo titolo. Un nobile decaduto insomma... Ma il nostro vecchio signore ha molto humor e per questo è contento di stare qui con noi con le sue mortadelle e i suoi salami!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Avere fantasia è un dono prezioso che ci aiuta a ritrovare il sorriso nelle situazioni peggiori perfino con queste buffe trovate. E Dio solo sa quanto ne abbiamo bisogno.</span><br />

He looks at the same time simple, elegant and very kind (I would have a touch of more class as he have but not too much... I'm happy to be a disaster ;o))). Looking him I think of Vittorio de Sica, a famous old Italian artist, precisely an actor, which he often played a Count, an aristocratic nobleman, rich only of his Title and reduced to poverty... But our old gentleman has a lot of humor and He's therefore happy to be here with us with his Mortadella and Salame! </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>With a touch of fantasy you can take with nonchalance a slice of "ham" as a Handkerchief in the breast jacket pocket, "mortadella" as an original bow tie and the "salame" slice as funny monocle!

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tutto è stato curato nei particolari per renderlo originale in ogni angolo e perfino nella carta decorativa dell'interno della copertina. Tutto di questo piccolo libro mi ha divertito. <br />In perfetta scala 1/12, "Salumi Italiani" è completamente leggibile "con la lente" ovviamente per rispettare quanto più possibile la scala del testo. In lingua italiana come espressamente mi è stato chiesto dall'amica straniera che me lo ha commissionato, contiene una spiegazione iniziale sulle varie tipologie di salumi e una ricetta per ciascuna di esse. </span><br />

Even the decorative paper inside the cover is particularly funny. It was a joy working on it. In a perfect 1/12 scale, "Salami Italiani" is completely readable with lens of course and I respected as much as possible the scale of the text. In the Italian language, as specifically asked by a friend, contains an introduction of the various types of salami and a recipe for each of them.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I Salumi italiani sono numerosi e vari. Ognuno di essi ha un particolare aroma e un sapore speciale inconfondibile. Ciascuno ha una propria personalità che apre la porta ad un intero universo dei sapori. Chiunque viva in Italia o ha visitato questo bellissimo Paese ha ormai familiarità con la fragranza del Prosciutto Crudo, con la dolcezza del Prosciutto Cotto e con il profumo della Mortadella. Con la versatilità della Pancetta, dell’aroma intenso della Coppa e del favoloso sapore del salame. Con l’incisivo sapore dello Speck e la leggerezza della Bresaola. Tanti sono i salumi e tanti i sapori. </span></div>

Each has its own personality and altogether they form a veritable universe to be explored and savored. Whoever has lived in Italy or visited the country is familiar with the fragrance of Prosciutto Crudo, the incomparable scent of Mortadella, the succulence of Salame, the sweetness of Prosciutto Cotto, the versatility of Pancetta, the aromatic intensity of Coppa, the delectable aroma of Culatello, the incisive savor of Speck, the lightness of the Bresaola, the appeal of Zamponeand the festive nature of Cotechino.</b><br />

A reserved commission made few months ago for a friend. These books are now in their new friendly home and I asked the permission to publish them.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tutti questi libricini che vedete nella foto, sono stati fatti con molta cura e con molto divertimento. Divertimento nel cercare le ricette (che oltretutto non so preparare in massima parte) e divertimento soprattutto nel dare ad ognuno una piccola personalizzazione. La copertina del libro che vedete sul cucchiaio è stata creata ed ideata graficamente da me mentre le altre sono state opportunatamente modificate per poterle finalmente pubblicare. Tutte sono rigorosamente in stile italiano.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>All miniature books in the second picture have been made with care and attention to details and especially with many fun. The most important thing creating a miniature is to have fun. That's a real secret. Fun to find recipes and fun to personalize each cover of them. The book on the spoon is completely readable in all of its part with lens for not straining the eyes and the cover has been created entirely by myself ;o))) The other ones are closed books with white pages but I'm doing the same text also for them. I love the covers used.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Il mini libro della prima foto è completo e in lingua italiana. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Il testo è completamente leggibile anche se per non sforzare gli occhi per questo tipo di libri consiglio sempre l'uso delle lenti. Non dimentichiamo che il vero libro in scala ha tutto quanto in scala... anche il testo! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Questo libricino è perfetto per una scena in miniatura con piccoli accenni di terre toscane. Saporite ricette italiane e un pizzico di "buongusto" sempre italiano che non guasta mai sia nei sapori che nello stile. Certo io non ho proprio questo "Dono" (a ciascuno i suoi). </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Però almeno con la Pasta e con il Tiramisù me la cavo Parola d'onore!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These books are perfect for a miniature scene with small Tuscany accent. Savory Italian Recipes and a bit of "Good Italian Taste" either in Style than in Flavors. Ehmmm... I'm not a good cook as you can read, and I'm only using my imagination. Patience... I would like to have it especially in the kitchen as a cook but I'm afraid it's impossible for me arghhh.... I have not the "Gift" but I know to cook the best things: The Pasta and the Tiramisù!! ;o)) It is enough believe me.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sono proprio fiera di questi piccoli lavoretti che mi sono costati come sempre molta fatica soprattutto di ingegno. Se non in cucina posso almeno sfogarmi con la mia fantasia creando dei mini libri di cucina ;o))</span></div>
