Dalí in Rome

DALÍ ARTIST AND GENIUS

The Roman Spring celebrates the bond between Spain and Italy with an extraordinary exhibition: Dali, An Artist, A Genius.
The retrospective, until July 1 2012, is hosted in the wonderful Vittoriano and brings together a collection of great works of genius - artist Dali.

After about 60 years since the last major exhibition dedicated to Dalí, now back in Rome a great show totally focused on one of the greatest artists in the world.

His unique and unmistakable pictorial touch has often been attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. Still, the exhibition wants to show as well the man Dali and not only the artist.

Essential part of the route is an introductory section that shows his voice, his face, his impressive stunts. He was the man and artist together. His life was art. He was art himself.

Born in Figueres, Dalí is both eclectic genius, painter, sculptor, filmmaker, but also one of the most interesting artists of surrealism. He was just the perfect embodiment of surrealism, able to create the same mechanisms of dreams.
If there, don't miss this amazing exhibition in Rome!

Dali: Un artista, Un Genio
Vittoriano - Roma
Monday – Thursday: 9.30-18.30;
Friday and Saturday: 9.30-22.30;
Sunday: 9.30-19.30

Florence hosts a big part of the world artistic heritage: its museums, buildings, treasures are charming and so full history that it's quite impossibile to know everything about this incredible place.

Most of all, Florence has an unique atmosphere that surrounds you and never leaves you. The French writer Stendhal suffered a shock as he witnessed the overwhelming beauty of Santa Croce church and named the Stendhal syndrome or Florence syndrome, a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place.

Our apartments are located in the most charming areas in central Florence: Duomo, Oltrarno, Santa Croce, Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo, all districts full of history and treasures.

Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, it has been ranked as one of the most beautiful and most visitated cities in the world.

Fiesole_Florence

Today Florence keeps its ancient fascination and offers as well important innovations. It's one of the trendiest cities in Italy, known for its Fairs (PItti) and showrooms.

And don't forget the magnificent lands surrounding Florence: the Chianti area for example, amazing to visit and country of typical products as the famous wine, oil and many salamis, sausages and tradicional cold meat.

Coffee shops in Amsterdam

 

The most famous place to visit in Amsterdam

 

In Amsterdam there are a lot of places to go, but the Coffee shops will always be the most famous, there in amsterdam at the moment more than 300 coffee shops. It is always really bissy in amsterdam, there are so many people who are smoking weed. Every day all of the shops are filled with tourists and dutch people.

If it's your first time in a Amsterdam and you want to go into a coffeeshop don't be shy or scared. it's just like walking into a regular shop. Just walk up to the counter and ask for a menu which will include a variety of cannabis buds and hash, ranging in quality from OK to incredible. Feel free to ask questions,  the staff in most places are quite friendly but some are as rude as hell. Most will give you a loan of a pipe or bong to use. Rolling papers and filter tips are available as well, usually at the counter.
 
 
 

The average price of a small bag (1 gram) runs approximately Euro 6-8. For you Americans that have no idea what a gram is, a "dime bag" is typically about half a gram. Some places offer pre-rolled joints of pure grass for around Euro 7 or grass and hash joints mixed with tobacco Euro 3-4.

 

 

Bob Marley

 

When people are talking about weed, mostly they think about Bob Marley he was the person who made it look normal and let everyone want to try it. Bob Marley did not use cannabis recreationally, and did not see its use as a casual matter.

Viewing himself as a holy person (as do all Rastafarians), Marley strongly believed that marijuana opened up a spiritual door which allowed him to become the artist and poet he was. Sadly he past away, but no one will ever forget Bob Marley.

 

 

Habitat Apartments

If your looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam, Habitat Apartments is a perfect company with beautiful Apartments in the center of Amsterdam also near the Vondelpark. Just take a look at the Habitat Apartments website.
