ITALY - ROMA - VATICAN - INTERIOR OF ST. PETER'S BASILICA - PHOTO POINT 3 : LA PIETA, MADE BY MICHELANGELO AT THE AGE OF 25. HE WAS SO PROUD THAT HE INSCRIBED IN LATIN ON THE BANDAGE WHICH CROSSES THE BREAST OF THE VIRGIN: "MICHEL ANGELO BUONARROTI, OF FLORENCE, DID IT." THIS IS THE ONLY WORK HE HAS SIGNED. IT COMES FROM A 1497 COMMISSION OF JEAN BILHERES DE LAGRAULAS, CARDINAL AND AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE POPE. IT WAS INTENDED TO ADORN THE FUNERARY MONUMENT OF THE CARDINAL IN THE CHAPEL OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE, ST. PETRONILLE, OF THE OLD BASILICA OF ST. PETER. ON MAY 21, 1972, SHE WAS BRUTALLY MUTILATED WITH A HAMMER BY A HUNGARIAN IMBALANCE, LAZLO TOTH. THE RESTORATION WORKS SHOW ON THE LEFT HAND OF THE VIRGIN THE MONOGRAM OF MICHELANGELO, REMAINED HIDDEN FOR NEARLY 500 YEARS: AN "M" DRAWN ON THE PALM WITH THE LINES OF THE HAND. SINCE THEN, THE SCULPTURE IS PROTECTED BY AN ARMORED GLASS. Photo by Stephane Compoint/Only World/ABACAPRESS.COM

Talayotic culture enters the world heritage of humanity - Menorca

Prehistoric sites in Talayotic Menorca Located on the island of Menorca, in the western Mediterranean, these archaeological sites are located in agropastoral landscapes. Testimony to the occupation of the island by prehistoric populations, these sites present a diversity of prehistoric settlements and burial sites. The materials, shapes and locations of the structures date from the Bronze Age (1600 BC) to the Late Iron Age (123 BC) and show the evolution of a “Cyclopean” architecture composed of very imposing blocks of stone. Clear astronomical orientations and visual interconnections between prehistoric structures indicate the existence of networks with possible cosmological significance. More than 1,500 Talayotic archaeological sites have been inventoried on an island of barely 700 km². Prehistoric remains including megalithic tombs, towers (Talayots), funerary navetas, monumental circular houses, necropolises, towns and taulas (monuments on which the mystery of their original meaning still prevails) withou
