Rare Blue Room Discovered In Pompeii - Italy

A new room in the central area of the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy emerged during excavations on May 2024. The room, which measures about 8 square meters, is painted blue and interpretable as a sacrarium, or a space dedicated to ritual activities and the storage of sacred objects. The light blue color found here was rarely witnessed in Pompeian frescoes and was generally found in highly decorative settings. Fifteen transport amphorae and a bronze set consisting of two jugs and two oil lamps were found in the room. Also present were accumulations of building materials, ready to be used in the renovations. A pile of already worn oyster shells was found on the threshold of the entrance, which were probably added to plaster and mortar mixes once they had been ground up. The figures found in the Blue Room flank niches in the center and depict the four seasons in the side niches. On the central wall are allegories of Agriculture and cattle breeding, as indicated by the attributes of a plow and a short stick used

Montmartre Petanque Club Fights Eviction In Gentrification Row

This photograph shows a sticker reading “Do not touch my Clap” at the Lepic Abbesses Petanque Club (Clap) in Paris, France on April 23, 2024. Petanque is a game similar to bowls that is as dear to the French as village cricket is to the English. During the Belle epoque, Montmartre was the artistic heart of Paris, home to Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who were attracted by its cheap rents and bohemian nightlife. Today the picturesque district that was one of the settings of the 2001 film Amelie is a magnet for tourists. Property prices have soared and its well-heeled residents now include celebrities such as Claude Lelouch, the film director. Some are fond of playing petanque on a patch of council-owned land and their club has become a well-loved local institution since its establishment in 1971. It is now the focus of a bitter legal battle with the Paris council, which has obtained a court order to evict the club so it can lease the land to. Photo by Firas Abdullah/ABACAPRESS.COM

Montmartre Petanque Club Fights Eviction In Gentrification Row

Players compete in petanque (boules game) beneath a placard reading “the Clap is in danger” at the Lepic Abbesses Petanque Club (Clap) in Paris, France on April 23, 2024. Petanque is a game similar to bowls that is as dear to the French as village cricket is to the English. During the Belle epoque, Montmartre was the artistic heart of Paris, home to Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who were attracted by its cheap rents and bohemian nightlife. Today the picturesque district that was one of the settings of the 2001 film Amelie is a magnet for tourists. Property prices have soared and its well-heeled residents now include celebrities such as Claude Lelouch, the film director. Some are fond of playing petanque on a patch of council-owned land and their club has become a well-loved local institution since its establishment in 1971. It is now the focus of a bitter legal battle with the Paris council, which has obtained a court order to evict the club so it can lease the land to. Photo by Firas
