CASTELVECCHIO

This castle and charming village sit at the foot of the Appennines in the province of Savona.

The village is characterised by old stone houses clustered around an ancient castle - the Castello dei Clavesana, which dates from around the 9th-10th centuries and towers over the village on a large rocky promontory. From the 11th century onwards, the castle was developed and the village was constructed outside the castle walls.

Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena has been named as one of the most beautiful villages of Italy by the association "I Borghi più belli d’Italia".

This ia a throwback to two years ago, when the autumn colors made the lace even more charming.

🐴 A HORSE MADE OF BRONZE 🐴

"Caval 'd Bronz" (bronze horse) is the nickname we gave the equestrian statue of Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy.

The monument was completed in 1838 in Paris by Carlo Marochetti, commissioned by King Charles Albert of Savoy to commemorate the military prowess of one of the ancestors from his dynasty, Emmanuel Philibert I, Duke of Savoy. In the statue, the armored duke with a feathered helmet, astride a prancing horse, sheathes his sword, to signify his military feats. On the base, two bronze bas-reliefs depict the Battle of St. Quentin (1557) and the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis. An inscription celebrates the return of Emmanuel Philibert to Savoy.

The monuments sits in the very central San Carlo square - what we call "Turin's living room".

APOTHEOSIS

This is a ceiling - and what a ceiling!!
It belongs to the hall of the seasons in the Princes' private Apartments at Palazzo Carignano - a Savoy Royal residence and, as such, a UNESCO World Heritage Site Residenze reali sabaude-Musei nazionali Piemonte.

It shows the Apotheosis of Hercules, depicting the hero being welcomed to Mount Olympus by Jupiter and the other gods after completing his famous labors.

The hall beneath it is in itself another apotheosis - this time of gilded wood and mirrors - and the subject of a later post.
