The Keats and Shelley Museum in Rome

On number 26 of the vibrant Piazza di Spagna there the so called Casina Rossa, a place where calm and serenity rule and where the English poet John Keats spent the last months of his life. Considered one of the greatest British poets of romanticism, the melancholic Keats had a short. Struggling with tuberculosis, he travelled to Rome on medical advice along with the invitation of his friend Percy Bysshe Shelley, the English poet married to the writer Mary Shelley. Shelley lived in one of the apartments in Casina Rossa and that´s where Keats went, along with his great friend the painter John Severn. It was November 1820 and Keats, who was 25 years old, spent only three months in that house Despite the beneficial Roman climate, the days in the Taverna della Lepre on Via Condotti in the company of his friends, the sadness due to the distance from his beloved Fanny Brawne and the bad critics towards his poems made him even more depressed. Keats, who had studied surgery, sensed his end was coming and he eventually died in February 1821, in a small room with a view of the Piazza di Spagna. A year later, Shelley also died in Italy, by drowning. Severn decided to continue his days in the capital and ended up being a British consul. The three of them rest in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, where Severn asked to be buried next to his friend. In the early 1900s, the house was practically in ruins and, thanks to the American poet Robert Underwood Johnson, the Anglo-American Society bought the house and began...

Family trip to New York

The variety of travel options in New York is as big as its streets, buildings, avenues and districts. The truth is that when planning your trip, you should keep in mind that the best time to visit the city are spring or fall. Although, Summer is also great in New York; many open air concerts and options for activities in parks, streets, etc, the heat can be a bit overwhelming if you´re looking to walk as much as possible with your family. Winter, of course, is quite hard, full of snow and freezing temperatures, not so good for traveling. Keep in mind that a plane ticket during the spring or fall will be much cheaper than in other seasons. If you come with your family, options like the Statue of the Liberty or the Empire State Building are just classics. The trip by ferry to the statue is more than charming, and climbing to the top of the Statue of Liberty, a challenge rather than fun for all ages. Similarly, to climb up to the top of the Empire State to see the Big Apple, is a visual reminder that everyone in the family will surely enjoy. Also, keep in mind that in some places in the city, your children will have the chance to have discounted and even free entrances; like at museums and other cultural places.  A stroll through the MoMA for example with the whole family would be a great idea, as well as to the Natural History Museum, where dinosaur fossils and sculptures of these fabulous prehistoric animals will delight the little ones. The ride...

Marc Chagall in Madrid

Approaching a painting today, in the 21st century, is undoubtedly a unique experience, knowing that we live in a time where digital image has surpassed the frontiers of utility and, without warning us, has become a way to measure the visual interaction that we have with the real and virtual world. From the surface of the image, we understand ideas, contexts, discourses, feelings that, with the growing speed of information, seem to become more and more blurred all the time. But the truth is that the images aren´t blurred or get erased, instead we´re facing a time in which each thought, idea, information and expression codes are going at a faster speed that, at times, surpasses us.   Here´s an exercise to understand this problem: stop and write after long hours in front a a computer but with a pencil or a pen. Try to be as sensitive to the movement of your hand as possible, and don´t think much when writing the letters, do it quickly. You´ll see how the quickness of your hands isn´t as fast as your thinking and, consequently, many letters are missing from the writing. It´s not lack of attention, it´s simply that in digital reality, the transmission processes are faster, and will carry on being faster until they remove writing, drawing, painting. And so, approaching a painting by Chagali, for example, in this time of vertiginous computer technology, is still a luxury and an experience of a fictitious past that perhaps never happened, from which we don´t have any links or relations. From the neoliberal machinery in which global conduct resides and twists, from which...
