GOING FOOTLOOSE: Medieval skyscrapers
http://tvs-footloose.blogspot.com/2008/01/medieval-skyscrapers.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. Necessitated by lack of space, the structures built in the 11th century at San Gimignano were unique in the medieval world. The towers of San Gimignano and the Tuscan countryside (top left). In the midst of so much beauty, a sound like a gunshot pierced the warm September morning stillness. Interrupting the thought was a second shot. It was gunfire from somewhere down below in the valley. Was someone trying to warn us? Were we in danger? For, in times past, the area was notoriou...

We stepped off the boat and into a fairy tale called Stein am Rhein. 8221; we asked our guide, the elegant Verena Merz. 8221; An excellent dictum for the self-inflicted wounds of coalition politics!

GOING FOOTLOOSE: Cradle of the Renaissance
http://tvs-footloose.blogspot.com/2008/01/cradle-of-renaissance.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. Cradle of the Renaissance. With its museums, churches and cultural heritage, just being in Florence is an education in itself. You will find delightful musical recitals that take place quite regularly in the evenings. Photo: Dr. Sanjiva Wijesinha. The pealing of the campanile bells reminds me that this is not a dream. I am still in Florence, experiencing the amazing ambience of this city. I only wish that I could stay longer. Not to be missed. Michelangelo: Tondo Doni (The Holy ...

GOING FOOTLOOSE: FOOTLOOSE 3
http://tvs-footloose.blogspot.com/2008/01/footloose-3.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. Dance of the auroras. In a world that goes without light for months, the auroras come as a dazzling relief. An aurora over the Arctic Circle. Where were those smiling Eskimos clad in sealskin boots, commandeering dog-sleds through blizzards impregnable? Whither those womenfolk with smiling babies huddled in baskets patiently cutting up reindeer meat with their keen ulus? Nor were there any signs of those unimaginably tiny igloos snuggling with large families. And the advancement...

GOING FOOTLOOSE: When in Rome...
http://tvs-footloose.blogspot.com/2008/01/when-in-rome.html
Friday, January 11, 2008. The ruins of Palatine Hill leave one gasping at the grandeur of the Roman Civilisation. Grandeur of the past: The pillars of the library. You need a healthy imagination to turn what are now dusty chunks of pediments, crumbling arches, wiped-out palaces and a few shakily re-erected columns, into structures — the way they looked in yesteryears. These speak volumes about the glory of Ancient Rome. A street-side Italian café. Up above the Hill. Most visitors don’t climb the Hi...

Friday, January 11, 2008. A slice of Italy in Switzerland, Lugano bubbles with Italian ebullience. GUSTASP and JEROO IRANI. Photo: Gustasp and Jeroo Irani. Morcote, once fishing village, now resort. In India, the ineffable charm of Lugano remains unsung. Located in the southern, Italian-speaking canton of Ticino in Switzerland, only one Bollywood movie has been shot in this sylvan lakeshore resort while the honey pots of Zurich, Interlaken, Luce rne et al draw Indian movie moguls in droves. Watching the ...
