Pink Snails Invasion

Posted on 17 March 2010 by

Plazza Scala, a town in the fashion capital of Italy, Milan is invaded with a group of cutely made twelve overgrown pink snails. It is a beautiful symbolic representation to the fact that “speed is not always a virtue” in this much fast-paced world as things in this world are fast-developing while the brighter side of life is ignored somewhere.

Created by the Italian Cracking Art group, these wonderful plastic displays are shaped to make people realize the importance of the happenings around them rather than being indifferent to the city’s happenings. Milan’s culture counselor, Mr. Finazzer Flory has candidly expressed that the people need to rediscover the experience of the city life while slightly skipping their daily routines which keep them busy.

These amusing pink snails will periodically move around the city towards Palazzo Reale and then to central train station in January. After some international trips to Amman, Tel Aviv and Chicago, they will return to Milan as a part of 120-snail army, in 2015.

Vintage New York Photographs

Posted on 12 January 2010 by

The New York was worth watching between 1920 to 1960. A glimpse of the vintage pictures, take you down into the bygone era, an era that was classic, traditional yet glitzy even after those black-and-white memoirs the people had with them.

Those black-and-white photographs still remind us of how the Americans always paid attention to the wonderful architecture and the marvelous construction of their skyscrapers. It displayed their advanced thought-process and progressive approach in various fields.

The skyscrapers surely remind of the Spiderman series, with no reflective glass elevations but with false sky intervals along with the presence of overly done stone walls. The active night clubs, the subtle smells from the Jewish restaurants also used to add color to the citizen’s lives.

What is more fascinating is the way the old postcards and preserved pictures simply provide a beautiful insight into the amazing history of this beautiful city in the traditional landscape.

The Hudson Terminal Building, one of the largest office buildings in the world, was massively built covering 2 square blocks, making the WTC towers stand upright on this space later. In fact, majority of these skyscrapers are more than a century old, and are still standing tall and high compared to the structures in different places.

The yesteryear architecture too has its own appeal with contemporary landscape.

The Most Beautiful Italian Women

Posted on 09 October 2009 by


This is the list of the most beautiful Italian women ever. Maybe someone will disagree with this list but still I think that it’s a hard work to create a perfect one.

Giada Pamela De Laurentiis

Giada Pamela De Laurentiis  is an Italian American chef, writer, television personality, and the current host of the Food Network programs Everyday Italian, Behind the Bash, Giada’s Weekend Getaways, Giada in Paradise, and Giada at Home. She also appears regularly as a contributor and guest co-host on NBC’s Today. De Laurentiis is the founder of the catering business GDL Foods.

Her cooking program, Everyday Italian, has been broadcast on Food Network since 2003. On her Chefography (a Food Network biography program), she admitted that she never wanted to be in her “family business” of show business. She felt very uncomfortable in front of the camera when she first began hosting Everyday Italian, but has since become more relaxed and open on air. When the program first aired, Food Network received emails accusing the network of hiring a model or actress pretending to cook instead of a real chef.

Elisabetta Canalis

Elisabetta Canalis  is an Italian model and actress. A popular personality on Italian television, Canalis had very minor roles in the films Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and Virgin Territory.

By the late 1950s, Loren’s star had begun to rise in Hollywood, with films such as 1957’s Boy on a Dolphin and The Pride and the Passion in which she co-starred with Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra. Grant, reportedly, fell so deeply in love with Loren that he ardently proposed marriage, despite her obvious loyalty to Carlo Ponti and Grant’s own union with actress and writer Betsy Drake. Loren refused.

Sara Varone

Born in the ruins of Rome, Italy, with all the stray kittens, Varone’s own sweater kittens have made her into a Televison Personality Star! After finishing her phychology degree, this brainy brunette got bored with continually asking why, so she entered the world of modeling and got a gig on her first game show Uomini e Donne, hosted by Maria de Filippi.
