Traveling is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The family has visited numerous places throughout the United States, however, none are as memorable as Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta.

I would always take walks after fights with my family, and it’s not as if I was going to change that in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I left our hotel, the Bauer Palazzo, stepping onto the Calle Tredici Martiri. One of the things I loved about Venice were the names of the streets and canals. I didn’t understand the meaning, nor was I able to pronounce it with ease, but when I heard them spoken my heart melted. People said that French is the language of love, but Italian is infinitely times more beautiful. We were booked to leave Venice for Marseille tomorrow, but I refused. That’s what lead to this fight with my parents. They didn’t like being in Italy. They grew up in Milan, but they left as soon as they were able to. The

The Pompeii exhibition at LACMA was an astounding visualization of history. The exhibition provided all sorts of objects; from sculptures, glass figures, painted art, and more. These art pieces specify the kind of life that was taking place in the Bay of Naples during the second century. As we know the cities around the Bay of Naples, which include Pompeii and Herculaneum, became tourist attractions when the cities were excavated after they were buried from the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. However, the comprehension of how the art pieces made their way into the museum is just a little fact of the history behind them. With this exhibition we are able to feel like we are back in time and living in the exhilarating time of

In the antique land of Rome, a shattered visage of a man lies. This statue, in frigid stone, represents a man who built one of the most formidable empires in human history, all while setting the course for its eventual downfall. As the morning sun rises over the horizon in a blaze of glory, the statue illuminates and reveals the somewhat melancholic ivy as it slowly envelops the forgotten emperor. Beside the statue, hanging on a ruined stone wall, is a painting of the city that once stood tall and proud. The painting depicts a beautiful scene that shows a joyous crowd watching in awe as colossal wooden galleons triumphantly enter the city on a river. You stare into the painting and as you look deeper you find yourself transported back in

Two weeks after arriving in Florence, while walking home from dinner across the river, stumbled upon Piazza della Signoria, for the first time. With the sound of a street performer’s violin in the crisp night air, I sat on the edge of the open-air gallery of statues. I still do not know why the piazza affected me the way it did, but with tears in my eyes, I knew I had found a place in Florence where I could be bitter sweetly happy.

In Ann Radcliffe's "The Italian", the very first thing that we see described is a veiled woman: "It was in the church of San Lorenzo at Naples, in the year 1758, that Vincentio di Vivaldi first saw Ellena di Rosalba. The sweetness and fine expression of her voice attracted his attention to her figure, which had a distinguished air of delicacy and grace; but her face was concealed in her veil. So much was he fascinated by the voice, that a most painful curiosity was excited as to her countenance, which he fancied must express all the sensibility of character that the modulation of her tones indicated" (5).Even without knowing anything about Gothic elements, this indicates very clearly what the quality and tone of the

In tenth grade, I was given the opportunity to travel to Italy for ten days. While I delighted my tastebuds with all kinds of Italian cuisine, my brain feasted on an abundance of knowledge presented in architecture, history, art, and inventions; most of which emerged during the Italian Renaissance. The Renaissance was a time period concerned with exploring the unknown, expressing creativity by means of art, and using imagination, as well as intellectual curiosity to create techniques and theories. For these reasons, if I were capable of traveling back in time, I would visit the time period of the Italian Renaissance.

I was thrilled after I heard the news that we will stop at Pompeii during our tour. Soon enough, June came and I was excited to travel to Italy and finally see all of the art and history that the beautiful country holds. As soon as we got to Pompeii, we toured the ruins. I saw old houses, a stadium, the streets, shops, and much more. Seeing everything up close was such an amazing experience. I learned how the citizens of Pompeii lived thousands of years ago and what the volcanic eruption did to them. At the end of the tour, we were brought into the city’s “square” and saw old pottery and relics. As I was observing all of the interesting artifacts, I came across the famous stone boy who was frozen in place from the ash. The boy is curled in a ball and is covering his face from the ash. Seeing this, gave me the chills and I could not believe I was finally seeing this with my own eyes. Eventually, the tour of Pompeii was over and I was sad to leave the most interesting place on

In 79 AD Pompeii, a city of architectural triumphs, was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. The volcano’s eruption ended Pompeiian civilization and for a long time it was thought to have destroyed the city. However in 1748 the city’s ruins were rediscovered and Italy made quick work of excavating the site. The city retained much of it’s former beauty even after it’s destruction making it an immediate tourist trap. Despite the hours of work my parents put into planning our Italian adventure, my brother and I had our own plans. My parents expected this and planned for it but my brother and I are overachievers of a sort. We fought constantly throughout the first week, but it was in no way comparable to our day-trip to Pompeii.

With my shorts-sleeved black dress swishing behind me, I swiftly walked over to the first glass case of the exhibit. It was a model of a roman aqueduct. There was brown glass resembling the ground and through the glass, the model of an aqueduct was seen. I looked backwards at the small crowd. Most

Chao, or hello in Italy. The culture of Italy is of particular interest to me because my father’s side of the family had Italian ancestry.

On October 24th, 2017, I attended the dress rehearsal for La Traviata at The Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, TX. The dress code was both formal and semi-formal; some people wore very elegant dresses while others wore slacks and a nice formal shirt. As I was standing outside the venue making my way inside I noticed that most the people attending were either high school or college students. The amount of people in attendance cannot be exactly calculated but if I would have to guess it would have been over 500 people seated just in the grand tier section where students were seated. There were several different performers with equally different voice parts. In total, there were 12 listed singers in the booklet, two of those singers being sopranos, one mezzo-soprano, three tenors, three baritones, one bass-baritone, and one bass singer. The three soprano singers are: Georgia Jarman, Rachel Sterrenberg, and Abigail Levis. The three tenor singers are: René Barbera, Brenton Ryan, and Brian Rosewell. The three baritone singers are: Vladislav Sulimsky, Daniel Armstrong, and Bobby Tinnion. The two bass-baritone singers are Dale Travis and Ryan Kuster. Finally, the bass singer was Kyle Hancock. The solo dancers were Caradee Cline and Ricardo Burgess and the conductor was Carlo Montanaro. There was also an orchestra playing throughout the whole opera, I was only able to see and distinguish a few instruments. Instruments that I saw were: flutes,
