Venerdi Scorso vicino a Macerata (last friday near Macerata)

Buon Giorno Tutti. Settimana scorso e stato bene. Ho avuto clase della lingua di Italiano dove sto imparando possato prossimo e imperfetto piu. Esci sono poco difficale ma practico tanto essere buono. Pittura e bene anche. Noi pitturiamo adesso. Una pittura fresca dalla Basillica di San Nicola. In nostra clase di Culturale in tra Italia e America, abbiamo parlato a la differenza a i vestiti, i tempi, le strade e constructione a le citte. Penso que la differenze e morali, perche, le persone della stati uniti gli piace indepenzia mentro le persone della Italia gli piace alti pozitione e amicizia. E stato bene.

Venerdi scorso sono andati a quarto posti vicino a Macerata. Primo, sono andati a San Ginesio, una citta piccolo ma molto bellisima. Ci sono molti constructione antici. Anche, sono andati la Chiesa Collegiata della SS. Annunziata. Questa chiesa e una combinazione de multi tipo de archittectura, gotica, barocha, romanesca. E fantastico. Anche, la citta e vicino a le montagne. Noi abbiamo visto bene in San Ginesio che in Macerata. Ho fotografato tanto tanto. Aqui a poco…

La chiesa e stato interesante perche loro hanno fatto in construczione piu da il construczione originale. Molti interesante. Aqui a poco fotografie….

(this is inside the church, it is amazing because its so many different time periods of construction and destruction that you can see the different time periods of architecture)

Abbiamo mangato pranza dopo. Ci sono stato pasta, ensalata, carne e una dolce traditionale de Carnivale, no lo so chiama, mi dispiace, ma so che e dappertutto, molte famosa. Quando pranza e finito, sono andati a Castello della Rancia.

Questo Castello e piccolo ma importanti per la regione de Macerata. Ultimo, sono andati a Tolentino. In questa citta e la Basilica di San Nicola. Questa e molto molto famosa chiesa della Italia. C’e una camera solo di pitture fresca. Fantastico. Questa camera (cappellone di San Nicola) dice la viva de San Nicola e suo viaggio durante vita. Aqui e poco fotografie….

(the main bell/clock tower in Tolentino, it has four time pieces on it, the lunar clock (very little at top, the six time clock because time used to be kept in six zone incriments, the current 12/24 hour clock, and the 31 days of the month clock) fascinating huh?)

(inside the church of San Nicola at a transept)

(this is a figure of San Nicola, under it are his ashes, and the frescos around it describe his life)

Il giorno e stato largo ma mi sono piachuto. Sto fino scrivare. A presto tutti, ciao ciao!

Hey everyone. Last week was good. I had Italian class where I am learning past tense and imperfect more. They are a little difficult but I practice so much to be good. Painting is good too. We are painting now. A fresco painting from the Basilica di San Nicola. In our class of cultures between Italy and America, we talked about the difference in clothes, time, streets and building placements of the cities. I thin the difference is in values or morals, because the people of the states like independence and equality while people of Italy like high status and friendship. It was good.

Last Friday, we went to four places near macerate. First, we went to San Ginesio, a small city but very beautiful. There are many ancient buildings. Also we went to the church of SS. Annuziata. This church is a combination of many types of architecture, gothic, baroque, Romanesque, etc. It’s fantastic. Also, the city is near the mountains. We saw better in San Ginesio than in Macerata. So I took a lot of pictures. Here are some…

After, we went to Chiaravalle Abbey. It’s a little little city where this abbey is located. Of course it was beautiful. There is a church, a cloister, and much much more. The church was interesting because they built more on the original construction. So you can see the places where the building used to be some places and things like that. Very interesting. Here are some photographs…

We ate lunch after. There was pasta, salad, pork chops, lamb and a traditional dessert of Carnivale. I don’t know what it’s called but I know that it is everywhere, very famous. When lunch ended, we went to the Castle of Rancia.

This castle is very small, but important to the region of Macerata. Lastly, we went to Tolentino. This city has the Basilica of San Nicola. This is a very very famous church of Italy. There is a room solely of frescos. Amazing. This room tells the life of this saint and his journey to sainthood, etc through the frescos. Here are some photographs…

The day was long, but I liked it a lot. I’m done writing though, until next time, bye everyone!
