Carnevale

Martedi, I miei amici ed io ed anche nostri professori sono andati a una citta fantastico chiama Ascoli Piceno. Io sono andato sabado scorso qui a vedere la partita di calcio, ma Io ho visto solo lo stadio e suoi vicini. Il Centro di Ascoli Piceno e non vicino a lo stadio pero mia volta in Ascoli e molti differente da Sabado scorso ma molti diverti.

Ascoli e una citta in tra le due montagne anche in tra i due fumi, e anche molti vechhio, prima questo millennium. Quando noi arrivavamo, sono caminato poco distenza andare in centro. Ci sono stato un piazza grande e importante per la citta. Immediatimente indentro, noi abbiamo potesso vedere tanti constructione e i personi.. Abbiamo visto le poco chiese e le poste dove tu poui vedere tanta la vista.

La significa piu important perche noi sono andati a Ascoli a Martedi e stato a vedere Carnevale. Grosso Martedi e un giorno importanti in la religiosa catolico perche e il giorno prima di “lint” (Ash Wednesday). Carnevale e una volta dove tutti vanno in centro essere insieme . In ogni piazza cierano tante persone che hanno fatto molti cose. Io ho pensato che il Carnevale di Ascoli e stato piu bello, solo perche l’architettura era piu interessante. Generalmente, penso che questo periodo dell’ano e fantastico. Tutti sono divertenti e simpactici. E piachuto andare in questa posta per Carnevale.

Io so che deveo scrivere piu, ma sto unpo stanco. Io desidero che vi piacono I mie fotografie. Scrive perfavore, io volgio udire que voi pensate.

this is on the way in, a view of one of the moutans and the large city of Ascoli Piceno

unlike Macerata, Ascoli is fairly flat and everyone here uses bikes

a view from in betwene buildings of the snow capped mountains

the main church of Ascoli, probably the most ornate I have seen (besides the Vatican)

frescos above the aps

another orante transept that is in the same church

this is below the church, this room was filled, FILLED with terazzo tile mosaics that were phenominal

this was in the town theater, and it is the ceiling, I chose to put the picture on here because as an architect I truly appreciate the positioning of the ventilation ducts

a roman bridge over two thousand years old

the main piazza of Ascoli in the morning with the start of the Carnevale celebration

babies dressed up in another piazza during the morning hours

people talking and getting ready for Carnivale

at 10am on a Tuesday morning have you ever seen a piazza so busy with people?

a few of the students walking and enjoying the sights of Ascoli

the same piazza again later in the afternoon, the weather got a little worse but in about an hour Carnevale will be at its best

familes in costumes getting ready

look at all the people and costumes, this celebration would never happen in america because everyone would be drinking too much and bickering, but in Italia, everyone is happy to have fun and be ammusing, I loved it. Pictures can truly truly not describe how fun and exciting the celebration was.

another piazza at night during Carnevale, we left at 6, about the time this photo was taken and the celebration continued on into the early morning


the volume is probably bad, but this is our professor explaining some of the nearby things of the main piazza in Ascoli and the Carnevale celebration

Tuesday, my friends and I and also our professors went to a fantastic city called Ascoli. I went last Saturday here as well for a soccer game, but I saw only the stadium and its neighbors. The center of Ascoli Piceno is not near the stadium, but nevertheless my time in Ascoli was very different from Satruday but still very fun.

Ascoli is a city in between two mountaisn and two rivers. And also very very old, before Christ actually. When we arrived, we walked a short distance to go inside. There was a big plaza that is very important for the city. Immediately inside, we could see so many buildings and people. We saw a few churches and places where you can see so much of the great view.

The most important reason why we went to Ascoli on Tuesday was to see Carnevale. Fat Tuesday is a very important day in the Catholic religion because it’s the first day of lint. Carnevale is a time where everyone goes in the center to be together and celebrate. In every plaza, there were so many people that did many different things. I thought that the Carnevale of Ascoli was very beautiful, only because the architecture was so interesting. In general, I think that this time of year is fantastic. Everyone was having so much fun and was very nice. I liked going to this place for Carnevale.

Io know that I should write more, but I am a little tired. I hope that you enjoy my pictures. Write please, I want to hear what you all think. Ciao Ciao!
