Florence Uffizi Wallpaper

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Dear blog’s friends… here we are with new images for your desktop.

It seems like a oil paint!

Well, this is an artistic view of Florence: Uffizi gallery and the Arno river from Ponte Vecchio.

Building of the palace was begun by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 for Cosimo I de’ Medici as the offices for the Florentine magistrates - hence the name “uffizi” (”offices”).

The cortile on Uffizi is so long and narrow, and open to the Arno River at its far end through a Doric screen that articulates the space without blocking it, that architectural historians treat it as the first regularized streetscape of Europe…

Try art on your desktop ;o)

Florence’s Ponte Vecchio wallpaper

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Today a romantic image of Ponte Vecchio in Florence in a new wallpaper.
A curious story for you… “The current special connotation of the bridge with rooms overlooking the river, was made by butchers (beccai), which in ‘400 were gathered in the shops of Ponte Vecchio to safeguard the cleanliness and decorum in the streets of the centre. The shops were then occupied by goldsmiths and jewellers by order of Ferdinand I and still Ponte Vecchio is famous for its precious art goldsmith.
Now you can hold this piece of florentine history on your desktop ;)
