The traditional South Tyrolean Stube

The Stube is the heart of every traditional farmhouse in South Tyrol. Completely paneled with Swiss pine or spruce wood and heated by a tiled stove, it was long the only warm room in the house. Then as now, it radiates cozy warmth and comfort, invites people to gather, and allows them to experience a sense of homely atmosphere.

A distinctive view of Venice, Italy, with weathered historic buildings facing directly onto a canal. The structures feature traditional Venetian architecture with terracotta roofs, faded brick and stucco facades in muted tones of pink, peach, and white, and typical arched windows. An artistic graffiti can be seen on one of the walls near the water level. To the right, a small bridge crosses the greenish waters of the canal. The buildings show signs of aging and exposure to the water, a common feature in Venice due to its unique location. The roofs are adorned with various antennas and chimneys, and many buildings have balconies or terraces. The sky above is partly cloudy with hints of blue peeking through.

Banksy chose one of our houses in Venice for his masterpiece

During the days of the Venice Biennale opening, Bansky realized a wall spray stencil - right in the heart of the days of pre-opening of the largest exhibition in the world. Banksy is an English artist and writer, considered one of the greatest exponents of street art, whose real identity is still unknown. His works are often satirical and concern topics such as politics, culture and ethics.

Primo piano di una costa rocciosa siciliana. Pietre laviche di diverse dimensioni si alternano lungo la linea di costa, bagnate dalle onde del mar Mediterraneo. L'acqua, di un blu profondo che sfuma in tonalità di verde acqua, lambisce i massi. Vegetazione mediterranea con cespugli verdi occupa la parte superiore dell'immagine, creando un contrasto con la durezza delle rocce sottostanti. La scena cattura l'essenza selvaggia e suggestiva del paesaggio costiero siciliano.

La Timpa, Acireale

With its steep walls rising to over one hundred meters, the Timpa of Acireale offers panoramic views of great beauty, one of the most beautiful perspectives of the entire Ionian coast. A promontory close to the coast of Acireale, about 6 km long, that extends from Acque Grandi in the district of Capomulini to the district of Santa Maria degli Ammalati. The entire area is a true open-air natural laboratory, a Nature Reserve that extends over an area of 265 hectares, characterized by faults with dense vegetation and imposing lava stratifications with sections overlooking the sea with columnar basalts, pebbly beaches and ancient terraces with dry stone walls marked by 'saje,' the ancient irrigation canals of Arab tradition that for over a millennium have exploited the natural slope from Mount Etna to the sea.
