piazza del Duomo


last month when I was on a business trip in Milan, I had the chance t visit the Doumo... what really caught my eyes is the statues on the windows... each window decorated with different statures and each window has different statues than the others... this is a picture I took while we were driving by at night...

read some history I quoted from http://www.milanoinfotourist.com/home.htm

"The works began in 1386. The Duomo is an exceptional example of Lombard Gothic. The Cathedral was commissioned by Gian Galeazzo Visconti, and dedicated to Santa Maria Nascente. It is an immense mountain of marble shaped into statues, pinnacles, buttresses, rampant arches and pillars."

No thanks, I am on a Diet

On the last ten years I saw a lot of advertisements on TV, internet, and hearing on radio about how to loose weight, get the perfect body in three months, and follow this program and you will loose 10 pounds in 5 days… Do you think this will work? Eat salads or grilled meet or grilled vegetables and you will loose weight!!!! I think loosing weight it take more than STOP EATING …. You have to know what to eat and when to eat… and the most important is to dome some exercises… running, jogging, walking… and many other sport activities… the best deit I am following is: To divide your stomach to three 1/3(s)… 1/3 for the food you eat, 1/3 is for the water you drink and 1/3 for the air your breath… plus running 5 times per week for 1 hour… And I am eating everything…. :)
