The beauty does not know the time
La bellezza non conosce il tempo



Visiting the Roman museum of Palace Altemps, I had the luck of to admire - between the other things - this splendid "dark blue Dish", sole to the world (I-II century), of incalculable beauty, from little discovery in the necropoli of Albingaunum(Albenga).

Too bad I missed this museum when I was in Rome. But then, how many visits does it take to see all the treasures of Rome?

"Are you mad about what has been happening inside Iran these days? Well then take a deep breath... blow it all into a Green Balloon... and wait until Friday afternoon to send it up to the sky, wherever you are on this planet. Millions of Iranians inside Iran are planning to paint the sky green on Friday exactly at 1pm Tehran time. The non-violent green movement is being cracked down on the ground, so lets take it to the sky."
