Play me,I'm yours

This article about is a kind of contest call "Play me,I'm yours.It's an interactive project that involves placing pianos in cities for people to play.A street piano is a piano placed in the street which passersby are encouraged to play. The best known example comes from the Play Me, I'm Yours project by artist Luke Jerram. The concept originated quite by accident in Sheffield, England.The project is intended to challenge the prohibition of playing music in public places without special arrangement. It prompts members of the public to use the piano, regardless of skill and popularity. Typically, a musician would have been stopped from playing outside the City of London and Sing London festival.When the project gets to Boston in 2013, over 1000 pianos will have been installed in 38 cities for example:Birmingham,Sao Paulo,Toronto,Sydney,London,Bristol,Barcelona,New York etc...In Sheffield,The Street Piano was a piano on the pavement on Sharrow Vale Road. It was originally left outside temporarily because the owner could not get it up the steps into his new house. As a social experiment the owner and a friend then attached a sign inviting passersby to play the piano for free. This offer was taken up by a great many people and the piano became a part of the local community. It survived for over a year, including being stolen and subsequently replaced by a newer model (with several volunteers willing to provide a new one)
The original street piano in Sheffield belonged to a family from Middlesbrough for decades before moving, with the daughter of the family, ending up in Sheffield. The original piano stool and music book holder did not make it on to Sharrow Vale Rd, parting company after many happy years together.
The piano became the centre of a local campaign once the council decided it constituted an abandoned item, and the campaign to save it spread quickly to local news outlets, with several articles on Indymedia. As of July 2006 a spokesman said in an interview for the National BBC Radio 4 that the piano was no longer under threat of removal. However, it was eventually removed in 2008 because of weather damage.

Halloween.....\_/

Halloween is a U.S. holiday that has its origins from holidays celticheLa word "Halloween" has far Anglo-Saxon origin , can be traced back to the tradition of the Catholic Church and is probably derived from a contraction of the phrase " All Hallows Eve " which is celebrated on the night of All Saints October 31 , given that in the fifth century BC Celtic in Ireland coincided with the end of summer :

on this occasion - called Samhain ( pronounced soueen ) - the typical colors were orange to commemorate the harvest and thus the end of the summer and black to symbolize the impending darkness of winter .

HOW AND WHERE AND ' BORN THE HALLOWEEN PARTY ?

Legend has it that the wandering spirits of those who died during the year they turn on the night of October 31 in search of a body to possess for the next year . The Celts believed that on this magical night all physical laws that govern space and time were suspended , making it possible for the fusion of the real world and the hereafter.

Of course, the living did not want to be possessed ! Therefore, the village farmers made ​​their homes cold and undesirable extinguishing the fires in the fireplaces and made their bodies masquerading as horrible monsters wandering through the house to run away in fear all the spirits who met !

Another explanation of why the Celts be darkened every fire does not lie in discouraging the possession of their bodies, but in the fact that every home riaccendessero taking the flame from a single giant Druidic fire that was lit in the night of October 31 in the middle of Ireland to Usinach .

The Romans made their Celtic practices . But with the passage of time vanished the fear of being possessed by the spirits and was only the tradition of dressing up .

Halloween was brought to the U.S. in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing the potato famine that struck their homeland.

The tradition of " trick-or -treat " - trick or treat want to have originated from the Celts but not from a European practice of the ninth century AD called in English " Souling " we could traddure in Italian as "begging soul." On November 2 , All Saints Day , early Christians were wandering from village to village begging for a little ' " bread of the soul" square-shaped sweet made with raisins (such as our " rosemary bread " ) . Sweetest received more prayers they would promise to dead relatives of the donors. At that time it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that the prayers also from outsiders could make it quicker passage to heaven.

WHO ' JACK -O- LANTERN ?

WHY 'YOU HOLLOW PUMPKINS ?

The tradition of Jack-o -lantern probably comes from Irish folklore . Legend has it that a man named Jack , known cheater and criminal, tricked Satan challenged him on the night of All Saints to climb a tree whose bark on a cross engraved by trapping him in the branches . Jack made a pact with the devil if he had more temptations that he would come down from the tree. After the death of Jack, the legend goes , he was prevented from entering paradise because of misconduct had in life , but was denied entrance to hell because he had tricked the devil. Satan then handed him a small ember of hell to light the way in the terrible darkness that surrounded him . To last longer than the flame Jack dug a big kohlrabi and I put it inside.

The Irish originally used the kale but when they arrived in the U.S. in 1840 found that American turnips were small, but also that pumpkins were bigger and easier to dig kale . That's why to this day Jack-o -lantern is a carved pumpkin inside which is placed a lantern.

The origin of my name

The name "Nicholas" comes from the greek (Nikolaos), Latinized to Nicolaus, consists of νίκη (Nike, "victory") and (laos, "the people, the crowd"). The meaning can be interpreted as "people's victory", "people of victory", "winner of the people" or "winner among the people."

The spread of the name is closely linked to the veneration of Saint Nicholas, a grace we spread throughout the Christian world was brought by five popes and two tsars. It is common in England, in the form of Nicholas, since the twelfth century, rarificandosi slightly after the Protestant Reformation.

Sant'Anna a monte

The monastery of Sant'Anna in Monte, called "de vivis acquis", was built on land donated by Queen Agnes of the Sacred specus to the monks of Subiaco. In 1342, two monks of the aforesaid monastery, with the permission of their abbot, founded this building. Its slow decline begins about three hundred years later, in 1500, with several raids by the Saracens. Towards the middle of 700, a first attempt is initiated restructuring, to the abbot by Nicola Salerno.
On 7 September 2000, the heirs Lapiello give the monastery with the surrounding land to the parish priest Don Franco Alfieri, who in collaboration with the municipal administration was instrumental in the construction of a concrete road. The monastery needs refurbishment and enhancement. Finally, it is worth mentioning that thanks to the parishioners of the community of San Rufino, every year on July 26, we are celebrating St. Anne.
         







SANTUARIO DEL BELVEDERE

The apse we see is still the original . During a fire, procured by the Turks , was also set on fire the holy icon of Our Lady Incaldana , of Byzantine , dating back to the XII - XIII century. He came out unscathed .
On 26 April 1624 the Carmelite Fathers , after 55 years of service , had to leave the convent because of the barbarian invasions and the excessive distance from Mondragone and Carinola . Meanwhile, a dispute arose between Mondragone and Piedimonte of Sessa for the allocation of the icon of Our Lady Incaldana , as the Carmelite fathers , forced to leave the place , they had to entrust the piece of art to one of the contenders . It was thought to a stratagem , and took two oxen , one for each of the two countries , and to them was entrusted the task of conducting the picture. The dispute would be resolved by the management that they would take the animals. They made ​​their way to Mondragone , on the Appian Way , and on the way , they stopped along said street , at the quarry Iacobucci : Here was erected a chapel , still visible . The oxen , arrived in Mondragone , died and is said to have been buried in the churchyard of the Temple Maximum of Mondragone .
