Places to see in ( Rieti - Italy )
Places to see in ( Rieti - Italy )
Rieti is a city and comune in Lazio, central Italy, with a population of 47,700. It is the capital of province of Rieti and see of the diocese of Rieti, as well as the modern capital of the Sabina region. The town centre stands on a small hilltop, commanding from the southern edge the wide Rieti valley, at the bottom of Sabine mountains and of monti Reatini, including mount Terminillo. The plain was once a large lake, drained by the ancient Romans, and is now the fertile basin of the Velino River. Only the small Ripasottile and Lungo lakes remain of the larger original.
Reate was originally a major site of the Sabine nation well before the foundation of Rome. According to the legend, when Romulus founded Rome, Romans kidnapped Sabine women in order to populate the town (The Rape of the Sabine Women) and this led to a war between Romans and Sabines. The battle of the Lacus Curtius came to an end only when the women threw themselves between the armies, begging the men who were by then their relatives to stop fighting. Romulus and Titus Tatius relented and a collaboration between the two people started. According to an account more based on history, Sabines settled on the Quirinale because of their continuous need for grazing-lands.
The ancient Sabine and Roman city was crowded with buildings, including baths (thermae). Only scarce remains were found during excavations in 19th and 20th century: the foundations of a large temple, the stone floor of the main square (forum), walls from private houses, concrete vaults, statues and pottery items. The most striking remains are the stone bridge across the Velino river and the viaduct. Piazza San Rufo is traditionally considered to be the exact centre of Italy (Latin Umbilicus Italiae).
Other sights include:
Rieti Cathedral: Construction started in 1109 over a pre-existing basilica, was consecrated in 1225 and almost entirely rebuilt in 1639. It has a stunning Romanesque bell tower from 1252. The entrance portico leads to a 13th-century portal. The interior, on Latin cross plan with one nave and two aisles, has mainly Baroque decorations, including a St. Barbara sculpted by Giannantonio Mari (1657), probably designed by Bernini. Antoniazzo Romano contributed a fresco. It also houses canvases from 16th and 17th centuries. The crypt corresponds to the most ancient part of the church, consecrated in 1157. The Baptistery has an elegant 15th-century baptismal font.
Palazzo Vescovile (Bishops Palace or Papal Palace): Construction begun in 1283. Noteworthy are the loggia and eight Renaissance-style windows from 1532. The lower floor is occupied by the so-called Volte del Vescovado, a great portico with two naves of Gothic arcades. The Grand Hall houses the Diocese Gallery.
Vaults of Palazzo Vescovile, also known as the Papal Palace.
Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall, 13th century, rebuilt in the 18th century), facing Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a square corresponding to the ancient Roman forum. The Palace houses the Town Museum which hosts works by Antoniazzo Romano, Antonio Canova, Bertel Thorwaldsen.

Places to see in ( Mestre - Italy )
Places to see in ( Mestre - Italy )
Mestre is the centre and the most populated urban area of the mainland of Venice, part of the territory of the Metropolitan City of Venice, in Veneto, northern Italy. Administratively speaking, Mestre forms (together with the nearby urban area of Carpenedo) the Municipalità di Mestre-Carpenedo, one of the six boroughs of the commune (Comune) of Venice. Sometimes considered as a frazione, it is Italy's most populated, with 89,373 inhabitants. The mainland of Venice is the territory of the city based on continental land (instead of natural or artificial islands like the most well-known parts of Venice) connected to the historical center by a long rail and road bridge over the Venetian lagoon, called Ponte della Libertà (Freedom Bridge).
Since the end of World War II, Mestre had a quick and disordered urban growth, after which Mestre constitutes a vast human settlement together with the other urban centers of the Venetian mainland (Carpenedo, Marghera, Favaro Veneto, Chirignago, Zelarino, Tessera). Mestre being the center and the most populated area of the mainland, in common language the toponym Mestre is very often used, incorrectly, to define the whole Venetian mainland. Mestre received the title of city in 1923 and maintained it briefly till 1926, when was annexed to the commune of Venice.
Public transport is managed by Azienda del Consorzio Trasporti Veneziano. There are several bus routes and two tramway lines. Several bus routes link mainland with piazzale Roma, the main bus station in Venice, via Ponte della Libertà a road bridge connecting the historical center of the city of Venice, that is a group of islands, to the mainland.
According to legends, Mestre was founded by Mesthles, a companion of the hero Antenor, a fugitive from Troy who founded Padua. The true origins of the city are uncertain, although it is known that a Roman oppidum (fortress) existed here, though this was destroyed by Attila and probably rebuilt in the 10th century. The first historical mention is from an Imperial diploma by Otto III, by which Rambald, count of Treviso, received land in the area named Mestre. In 1152 a papal bull by Pope Eugene III recognized the bishop of Treviso as lord of Mestre, citing the existence of the church of St. Lawrence, a castle and a port. In 1257 the bishops ceded it to Alberico da Romano, podestat of Treviso.
Mestre is now a preferred starting point for tourists visiting Venice, due to Mestre's favorable location, its cheap and frequent connections to the historical center of Venice by train and by bus (available also during the night), and Mestre's more reasonable prices of bars, discos, car parking, hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets, compared to the prices of the same touristic services in the historical and touristic center of Venice. The city already has some experience as host of major international basketball tournaments such as the EuroBasket 1979, which drew many tourists to the city.
Main sights :
Duomo of St. Lawrence (17th century)
Palazzo da Re
Palazzo podestarile
Provvedaria
Torre dell'Orologio (Watchtower, 1108)
Orto Botanico Locatelli, a small botanical garden

Rocca d'Arce, Hidden Gems in Italy, Day Trips From Rome
Exploring Rocca d'Arce. Earlier this year I filmed several videos in my places in Italy, but then between traveling and work I didn't have a chance to process them until now. I'm hoping to release them in internet gradually during these winter months. This is the first one, of a town called Rocca d'Arce (or Roccadarce) where I ended up unintentionally, getting lost on the way to another destination.

How to use the Venice People Mover from Piazzale Roma
The People Mover in Venice is a three stop above ground rail system. The three stop are 1) Piazzale Roma, the main transportation hub for Venice for trains, buses, cars and water transport, 2) Marittima Terminale, the cruise terminal and 3) Tronchetto parking island which has thousands of indoor and outdoor parking and where many of the tour buses drop passengers off for Venice. The fare is 3 Euro return and is very easy to use. The distances are walkable but not direct, so the People Mover is a very good option for entering Venice city. From Piazzale Roma, you can walk, take a vaporetto or a water taxi to various parts of Venice.

Places to see in ( Sarzana - Italy )
Places to see in ( Sarzana - Italy )
Sarzana is a town, comune and former short-lived Catholic bishopric in the Province of La Spezia, of Liguria region, northwestern Italy, 15 kilometres east of Spezia, on the railway to Pisa, at the point where the railway to Parma diverges to the north. In 2010 it had a population of 21,978.
The position of Sarzana, at the entrance to the valley of the Magra (ancient Macra), the boundary between Etruria and Liguria in Roman times, gave it military importance in the Middle Ages. The first mention of the city is found in 983 in a diploma of Otto I; in 1202 the episcopal see was transferred from the ancient Luni, 5 kilometres (3 mi) southeast, to Sarzana. Sarzana, owing to its position, changed masters more than once, belonging first to Pisa, then to Florence, then to the Banco di S. Giorgio of Genoa and from 1572 to dogal Genoa itself.
These changes left in Sarzana a conspicuous fortress, which remains a focus of attraction for people interested in military history and specifically in the history of fortifications (see Star fortress). In 1814 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Sardinia, the frontier between Liguria and Tuscany being now made to run between it and Carrara. In 1921 Sarzana was the scene of fights (Italian: Fatti di Sarzana) between the population and Mussolini's Fascist squads. During them, a small group of Carabinieri and, alter, simple citizens opposed and pushed back some 300 armed Fascists who had come to devastate the town, resulting in eighteen dead and about thirty injured.
Alot to see in Sarzana such as :
the former Sarzana Cathedral: a white marble Gothic-style church built 1355–1474. It houses two elaborately sculptured altars of the latter period.
Citadel of Sarzana; former citadel built by Pisans, was demolished and re-erected by Lorenzo de' Medici.
Castle of Sarzana: located on the hill of Sarzanello, at the site of fortress from as early as emperor Otto I. The castle was rebuilt or enlarged by the condottiero Castruccio Castracani, and later became the residence of the bishops of Luni.
Pieve of Sant'Andrea: 10th-11th century parish church, and rebuilt in 1579, and has 16th-century portal. It houses 14th-15th century marble statuary, a Vocation of Saints by Domenico Fiasella, and a dodecagonal baptismal font.
San Francesco: documented from 1238 and, according to tradition, founded by St Francis himself. It houses the funerary monument (1328) of Castruccio Castracani's son, by Giovanni di Balduccio; the tomb of bishop Bernabò Malaspina; and a frescoed lunette attributed to Priamo della Quercia.
Palazzo del Capitano: designed by Giuliano da Maiano (1472), but now entirely altered.
