Venice 2025

Campo Manin

The bronze statue depicts Daniele Manin, a key figure in the Italian Unification (Risorgimento) and the leader of the 1848 rebellion against Austrian rule in Venice.

The buildings in the background showcase the classic Venetian Gothic style, characterized by:

Ogive Arches: The pointed, "flame-like" windows and balconies on the pink building to the left are quintessential to Venice’s unique aesthetic.

Symmetry and Light: The white and terracotta facades demonstrate the traditional Venetian approach of using light-colored stone (likely Istrian stone) to contrast with colorful plaster.

Kalocsa, Hungary

"The town of Kalocsa is the seat of a geographic region in south-central Hungary that is defined by its distinctive dialect, folk arts, and Roman Catholic religion. The region is internationally renowned for the brightly colored flowers found in embroidery and wall paintings (pingálás), which have become emblems of Hungarian folk art in general. Kalocsa and its living traditions (especially wall-painting, embroidery, costumes, and dance) were added to the Hungarian National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010.

Kalocsa and its residents are committed not only to preserving their folk arts, but also to ensuring that their traditions and heritage will continue to be shared with and transmitted to younger generations. Various folk revival groups, folk dance ensembles, a museum, and a folk arts center all help maintain the distinctive culture of Kalocsa. Moreover, many different local events provide occasions for wearing folk costumes, such as the Midsummer Night’s Festival, Danube Folklore Festival, and Kalocsa Paprika Days Festival, as well as harvest dances. The town is also deeply involved in arts education within local schools as part of its ongoing efforts to promote and cultivate living traditions."
