Palermo, Cappella Palatina : Le Stelle in una stanza

I Normanni arrivati a Palermo scoprirono la bellezza. Gli Emiri arabi amavano il lusso, la geometria perfetta costruita da milioni di tessere dorate. Per loro era come ricostruire il paradiso terrestre con i suoi alberi e fiori. Così creavano luoghi stupendamente lussuosi e quando i Normanni entrarono nei loro castelli e nei loro palazzi scoprirono una costellazione di forme perfette, linee che si rincorrevano cambiando colore, milioni di tessere luminose come le stelle nelle notti d’estate. I Normanni non tolsero a questo tesoro, ma aggiunsero, ricoprendo le pareti di altre tessere luminose provenienti dalla ricca Venezia o dalla decadente Costantinopoli. A quel cielo colmo di stelle d’oro e di porpora aggiunsero l’uomo, le sue storie bibliche e la loro immagine di re sapienti e potenti.

Palermo, Palatine Chapel: The Stars in a room When the Normans arrived in Palermo discovered the beauty. Arabs Emiri loved the luxury, the perfect geometry built by millions of golden tiles. For them it was how to rebuild the earthly paradise with its trees and flowers. So they created places wonderfully luxurious and when the Normans came in their castles and their palaces discovered a constellation of perfect shapes, lines were running changing color, millions of bright tiles as the stars on summer nights. The Normans not removed in this treasure, but added, covering the walls of other light passes from the rich Venice or the decadent Constantinople. At that sky full of golden stars and purple added the man, his biblical stories and their kings image wise and powerful.

Palermo Palazzo Abbatellis

L’arte Araba rimasta in Sicilia, ci mostra il suo minuto rigoglio, l’amore per la natura, gli animali, le foglie, le perfette geometrie. All’ epoca essa fu un passaggio tra l’antica arte orientale e quella nord africana ed arrivando in Sicilia si fuse con le culture antiche e future. Molto di quello che abbiamo e che siamo viene da quel tempo lontano, è un motivo della nostra diversità, un battesimo inatteso di identità ed unicità. 

Palermo Palazzo Abatellis The Arab art remained in Sicily, she shows us her dettailed exuberance, love for nature, animals, leaves, perfect geometry. At that time it was a passage from the ancient oriental to the North African;  coming in Sicily merged with ancient cultures andthe  future ones. Much of what we have and what we are comes from that distant time, is a reason for our diversity, an unexpected baptism of identity and uniqueness.

Artemis:  I have such a fascination with Europe and the East (especially the far east).   Ancient… ancient civilization… so much history… art.   America (US) is so young. Just a baby.   :)  

Nemi is a township of Rome in the Alban Hills.
