＊My plan for trip♪(Renewal)

☆Italy☆

I wanted to go to California in United state. However it is not enough to go there with $2,500. Therefore I changed my plan and decided to go to Italy. If I can go to America, actually, there isn’t anywhere I want to visit. Because, my purpose to go America is just meeting my friends again. And I thought it is not so fun trip in this project, so I changed my mind♪Here is my plan to go to Italy.

＜Place＞

1)“Last Supper”

Do you know the wall painting “Last Supper”?
I’ve seen one Leonardo da Vinci’s work once in London!!!;)
It was very touching painting!! Then, I began to crazy about his work. In the refectory of the dominical convent adjoining the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, houses one of the world's most celebrated works: Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper".
"Painted between 1494 and 1498 under the rule of Ludovico il Moro, Leonardo abandoning the traditional method of fresco painting, depicted the scene "a secco" on the wall of the refectory.
Upon completion however, it was documented that this technique and environmental factors

had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the fresco that has undergone numerous restorations.
The most recent being 1999, where various scientific methods were employed to restore the original colors and where possible to remove the traces of paint applied from previous attempts to restore the fresco.
Extensive measures have been implemented to protect the fresco from further exposure. To ensure that the fresco be kept at room temperature, since restoration the visitor intake has been restricted to a group of 25 admitted every 15 minutes. "

I really wnat to see this wall painting. It will impress me and change my world.

2)Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra)

"Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) - The Blue Grotto is a beautiful cave at the water's edge with a tiny opening to the sea that opens and closes with the tide, used as a bath since the Roman times. The entrance is small and depending on the tide there is just enough space for only a small rowboat to get through. Dark at the entrance, one has to enter 20-30 yards and then turn around to view the beautiful sight of the light from the entrance flowing through the water lit turquoise from below by the sun. You'll be amazed at the turquoise hues glimmering in the water and against the rocks. The grotto often closes due to tides and waves, and it may take a while for your boat to get in, with many other boats trying to do the same. "

This place is very famous and we can see this place on TV which introduce some great tour. And it it looks so visionary, isn't it?

3) "Civita di Bagnoregio!"

I didn't know that there is beautiful place in Italy like this. This is called "the town on the sky". This place looks like not real world, but the world in the fairyland.

It is so amazing I think. I want to get there if I can go to Italy!!

I got these photos from here.
