Tiziano. A must see in Rome.

"Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first." (Arthur Schopenhauer)

When we come to speak about art, nothing is more true than this quote.
Lately I have been visiting "Tiziano", a fabulous exhibition hosted at "Le Scuderie del Quirinale".
Forty paintings testimony the incredible rise and success of this amazingly gifted venetian renaissance artist and unparalleled promoter of the renewal of culture in Italy and Europe during the sixteenth century. His artworks, loaned from many leading museums, both in Europe and overseas, allow the visitor to grasp the exceptional nature of this talented artist. 
My favourite painting? All of them! But especially the portraits, such as the one of Pope Paul III

It happened today

23 April 2005
On the 15th of February 2005 Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim - three former PayPal employees - bought the domain www.youtube.com. 
On April, 23rd of that year it recorded the first account and uploaded the first video. It was at 8:27 p.m. and the video was called Me at the Zoo by Jawed Karim. It was just 19 seconds of recording time in front of the elephant cage at the zoo in San Diego.
By June 2006 YouTube had already collected 100 million videos, and in the month of October of that same year, it was bought by Google for $ 1.65 billion.


Chapeau...to an amazing success!!!

Although these eight storms should have turned me into a great dancer, once in a while I still slip on the wet floor of life.

What matters is to get up again and go back dancing!
