Hello everybody, I’m very new to the world of Padlet. As far as I have seen it’s an amazing application which allows a group of people to share pictures of all kind and describe them through their experiences. In this “post” I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about Wien and all the Hasburg treasures you can meet.
All in all, after these amazing images, you have definitely convinced me to take some time and go to Wien, so don’t forget to keep up with the new comments! :)

Ho scelto di portare questa meravigliosa foto degli affreschi sopra l’altare della Karlskirche. Mi ha colpito molto il dettaglio della colomba al centro, illuminata dalla luce del sole.

Abbiamo visitato la chiesa il giovedì, dopo aver visto il belvedere.

A dir la verità tutta la visita mi è piaciuta particolarmente ed è stata spiegata molto bene.

La chiesa venne commissionata da Carlo IV, in seguito all’epidemia di peste. L’imperatore decise di dedicarla a San Carlo Borromeo, protettore dei malati di peste. La costruzione iniziò nel 1716 e terminò 25 anni dopo.

Per quanto riguarda gli interni oltre alla cupola anche l’ingresso è ispirato all’arte romana e greca. L’altare è invece decorato con rilievi in stucco.

In the heart of the city in the middle of all the modern stores and civilized environment, stands a titanic monument that represents one of the darkest pages of Europe's history: the Pestsäule, also known as the Plague Column.

During the Middle Ages, the bubonic plague devastated the global population spreading suffering among the people.
Resulting in a deep and resilient faith in people, as it was believed that divine intervention was the only solution for the end of the pandemic.

To express the inhabitants' faith and gratitude for the epidemic's end, they commissioned the construction of The column to the architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach between 1687 and 1693.

It even has its own presence, no matter what you are doing whether you're in a hurry or just wandering around, you are obliged to gaze at it even for just a millisecond.

The unnoticeably colossal Monument strikes the people's eyes not only by its size but also by its detailed baroque decorations and style.

This monument, which cannot be only found in Vienna, is undoubtedly one of the most significant in terms of meaning.
Thus it completely deserves to be visited by everyone who takes foot in Vienna.

Anfang der 1980er-Jahre plante der Wiener künstler Hundertwasser, ein natur- und menschengerechteres Haus, dass 250 Bäume und Sträuchern hat. Außerdem, es gibt auch 50 Wohnungen untergebracht.

I think that what the artist made is outstandingly beautiful. The result is utterly mesmerizing, a true piece of art that schould be forever worshipped for its unique way of catching people's attention. The design is extravagant in such a lushing way that when standing in front of it, the only thought repeating in one's head is just how breath-taking and original it has accomplished to turn out to be. Moreover, when looking around the building and the shop near it, I found really entertaining admiring how the structure gets more and more fancy and elaborated. That is why I loved it so much, because it was so different from all the other buildings. I was completely struck by its uniqueness and ornated walls that were full of colors and uncommon shapes.

I would really like to share with you this incredible KAZIMIR MALEWITSCH's piece of art which immediately caught my attention during the visit at Albertina's Museum. Malevich had developed his revolutionary art theory of Suprematism in the early 1920s.
When Stalin rose to power in 1924, progressive tendencies as Suprematism were forbidden. Malevich was arrested in 1930 and interned for several weeks in the KGB headquarters under the suspicion of political insubordination. This painting describes the artist's dramatic experience: the faceless figure in a plain blouse can be understood as a self-portrait, while the building with the barred windows represents the prison.

I really appreciated our visit to Kunsthistorisches Museum: it was really engaging and intriguing, for I’ve seen very different and thought provoking pieces of art, whose styles went from gothic to futuristic.
There were a lot of Tiziano paintings, which I loved to see, because I really enjoy his style.
To conclude, I really loved the Canova’s statue that you can see as soon as you enter the museum. It was mesmerising!

“Wo viel Licht ist, ist auch viel Schatten” -Goethe

This is my favourite photo that I took during my trip to Vienna. I decided to upload this photo, because I reckon it is extremely peculiar since it highlights the contrast between light and shadows. Indeed, when taking my photos, I really enjoy representing particular subjects, that are able to grab someone’s attention.

Furthermore, this picture represent the right fusion between art and history.

Das ist mein Lieblingsphoto Wiens. Ich mag dieses Photo, weil es den Kontrast zwischen Licht und Schatten zeigt. Aber es zeigt auch die Fusion zwischen Kunst und Geschichte. Wenn ich Photo mache, fotografiere ich Einzeilheiten gern, die das Photo besser machen.

Ich war überrascht, als ich diese Ampel in Wien gesehen habe. Es ist wirklich unüblich und für diese Gründe finde ich es sehr schön und natürlich auch romantisch!!😍

Le palais de la Sécession  est un bâtiment de Vienne, l'un des bâtiments les plus célèbres du Jugendstil ou Art Nouveau viennois.

Quand je suis entrée dans la salle du musée, j'ai été enchantée.

Ici, Klimt représente le chemin de l'homme vers le bonheur.

Les couleurs principales sont l'or et le blanc, et les détails sont infinis.

Ce musée m'a transmis la paix et la sérénité.

Je le recommande vivement !

I took this picture on the bus, while we were going back to our hostel after an extremely tiring day around Vienna.

It’s a dragon fruit I bought with a friend of mine at the Naschmarkt, the biggest food market in Vienna.

At first we wanted to buy it to try something new, but we ended up being scammed and quite disappointed.

In fact, we thought that the fruit was only 2.50 euros but it ended up being almost 5 euros. Even though we didn’t want to pay at all, the man who was selling fruits had already printed the receipt out.

In addition we didn’t even like the taste of the dragon fruit because it was pretty bland and watery.

Vienna is well known for its mesmerizing architecture, which is a combination of several architectural styles and represents a rich past.

Vienna's architecture is a mind blowing synthesis of classical opulence, creative modernism, and aesthetic innovation. The city's many different architectural styles are a tribute to its rich cultural legacy and a treasure mine for architecture connoisseurs.

Vienna's architecture is marvelous because it transports you back in time. The city is teeming with old buildings, from imposing imperial palaces to endearing Baroque and Rococo constructions, that tell tales of a bygone period.

The architecture of Vienna features a wonderful fusion of styles, ranging from lavish Art Nouveau creations to more contemporary and avant-garde buildings. It's a city where you can see how changes in architectural styles over time may be seen.

Vienna's architecture is closely tied to its history and culture. It pays homage to the city's imperial past and its status as a hub for philosophy, music, and art.

The way Vienna's architecture blends with the city's many green spaces makes it even more alluring. The beautifully-designed parks and gardens go well with the structures, resulting in a lovely urban setting.

Vienna's architecture is unique because of the small features, such as the complex facades, elaborate interiors, and well planned public spaces.

A visual trip through history, culture, and artistic expression is what draws me to Vienna's architecture, making it a truly amazing and alluring city to visit.

As for me, this is the most stunning place we’ve ever been to in Wien!
The Albertina is one of the biggest modern/contemporary art museums. Here you can admire over 60.000 works of art and visit a lot of stunning temporary exhibitions as well!
Those who work there care a lot about every detail and want to give everyone the most special, interesting and interactive experience ever.
At the moment we can find numerous exhibits, such as Monet&Picasso, Michelangelo, Ofer Lellouche and Valie Export, which are fabulous and well organised! Take your time and look around!

La Hundertwasserhaus di Vienna è una delle principali attrazioni architettoniche dell'Austria. Il complesso di edifici progettati da Friedensreich Hundertwasser attira visitatori da tutto il mondo.

La Hundertwasserhaus si trova  nel terzo distretto comunale di Vienna, ed è facilmente raggiungibile con i mezzi pubblici.

Gli edifici non sono visitabili all’interno perché sono appartamenti privati, bensì c’è un museo dedicato.

Personalmente adoro l’architteutra di vienna:ordinata, e delicata.

Trovo però che l’hundertwasser, nella sua vitalità e particolarità, sia una boccata d’aria simbolo dell’innovazioni architettoniche.

Gli edifici sono tutti colorati e ricoperti di piante e i pavementi tutti irregolari e curvilinei.

Lo scopo  dell’artista era di riconnettere l’uomo con la natura: penso ci sia riuscito, creando un atmosfera magica.

L’undertwasserhouse è speciale ed unico, che distingue la città e lascia libertà di far fuoriuscire la parte artistica che c’è in ognuno di noi!

In the centre of Wien, in the middle of a multicultural square, there are a huge fountain and a church: die Karlskirche!

Built in the 14th Century and dedicated to the bishop Carlo Borromeo, was devoted to protect people from the Black Plague...which caused lots of deaths in the whole world.

Interiors are mesmerizing because of the white and red marble and gold, an awful lot of pure gold! looks unreal...however it is.

In addition, frescos on the walls are stunning and the atmosphere is simply unique.

Do you all like these photos? I hope so...otherwise, "non è bello ciò che è bello, ma è bello ciò che piace".

I ate this typical Austrian cake, called Sacher Torte with my friends at a cafe close to Belvedere Castle.
It wasn’t the best sacher I’ve ever had but it definitely was  worth it because of the amazing location, because we were just near by the castle.

Ho scelto di parlare della cattedrale di Vienna perché mi ha stupita subito dopo averla vista per la sua immensità e maestosità.

Lo stile di costruzione è prettamente gotico, come si può notare, anche se presenta degli elementi architettonici che risalgono al romanico.

La chiesa è uno dei simboli della città di Vienna ed è conosciuta per le due torri campanarie, in cui  in una di esse è contenuta la campana più grande dell’Austria, nonché una delle campane oscillanti più grandi d’Europa, chiamata “Pummerin”.

Il duomo di Santo Stefano presenta molte caratteristiche particolari che si trovano sia all’esterno che all’interno della costruzione; personalmente quella che ho apprezzato di più è il tetto decorato con tegole colorate che messe una vicina all’altra rappresentano lo stemma dell’Austria.

Visitare questa affascinante chiesa è stata un’esperienza unica, soprattutto grazie alla nostra guida che me l’ha fatta piacere particolarmente.

Questa cattedrale è sicuramente la prima attrazione turistica che raccomanderei di visitare a Vienna.

Wir haben während unser Schulausflug in Wien in die Jugendherberge übernachtet. Das ist die Landschaft die man aus dem Garten des Gebäudes sieht. The first shot shows the spectacular landscape in the morning whereas the second one shows the same sight at night.

I must admit, the second photograph i took doesn’t do any justice to the night view. The only rightful way to appreciate it is to actually see it in person. It’s such a captivating sight, filled with life and lights: an astonishing and breathtaking amount of lights.

Ogni volta che guardo la seconda immagine, mi ricordo di una sera in particolare. A group of us brought out some chairs in the garden and we spent hours there, simply talking and contemplating this stunning city before us. C'est un de mes plus beaux souvenirs de ce voyage.

This is one of the two best known castles in Vienna.

During the school trip with my classmates, I had the opportunity to visit this mesmerising castle and I have to admit that I was extremely amazed by such beauty and refinement.

I've decided to share with you this experience because to me it was the most engaging and fascinating one for two main reasons. The first reason is because I've found the story of Sissi particularly interesting and captivating. Then, the second reason is because walking through the gardens surrounding the castle created a magic atmosphere where colourful  flowers, decorated fountains and romantic benches were absolutely eye-catching.

In conclusion, while admiring all this beauty I felt a strong connection with nature and realized how paramount to me is being in such contact with our natural environment.

Come foto ho scelto questa che ho scattato all’interno del museo del Belvedere, uno dei principali castelli della città.

Nella foto si vede la sala dove è conservato “Il Bacio”, uno dei quadri più famosi di Gustav Klimt.

Nella foto, tuttavia, non c’è il quadro, ma altre opere dell’artista come il “Ritratto di Sonja Knips” e il “Ritratto di Fritza Riedler” e molte meno persone rispetto a quelle radunate intorno al Bacio.

La nostra stessa guida pareva non riservare molta importanza alle altre opere, e si è infine concentrata solo sulla spiegazione dell’opera che riteneva principale.

In effetti, per quanto non vedessi l’ora di visitare il Belvedere e avere l’opportunità di vedere dal vivo i quadri che conserva, avrei voluto avere molto più tempo per approfondire e apprezzare tutte le opere…

In conclusione, nonostante avessimo davvero poco tempo, ho apprezzato moltissimo il museo, ricchissimo di quadri che spero di poter tornare a vedere un giorno con più calma.

Vienna is one of the most picturesque capital cities in Europe.

During this trip, I had the chance to visit many important museums, where I could’ve find mesmerising works of art made by the most relevant artists of the past centuries just like Picasso, Klimt, Mirò and Monet.

Of course, I appreciated all the visits we made, even tho my favourite one was at the “Kunsthistorisches Museum” (the museum of art’s history).

Here, we had the possibility to look at Caravaggio’s pieces of art and to many other paints from the Renaissance.

Anyways, even tho I find Renaissance’s art mesmerising, my favourite part of the whole museum was the Ancient History one, especially the Egyptian exposition.

I’ve always loved Egyptian history, for many reasons: let’s just think about its ancient and enduring civilization, monumental architecture, rich culture, contributions to various fields (for example maths or science) and its profound impact on global history.

In conclusion, this museum contains fascinating works of art from every century, and that’s why I do think it’s the best tourist attraction in Vienna.

“Bellezza e ricchezza” sono due parole che descrivono in breve Vienna, che è una città che mi ha sicuramente colpito per la sua maestosità. Infatti, tutti i posti che abbiamo visitato, sono ricchi di storia e di dettagli particolari, che vengono rappresentati anche in questa foto.

Ci troviamo in una delle sale del municipio, quella che una volta era una sala da ballo. Quella ritratta nell’immagine, invece, è solo una delle tante statue che circondano la stanza. Tutte minuziosamente scolpite e circondate dall’oro delle pareti e del soffitto, contribuiscono a rendere l’atmosfera della stanza un po’ magica. Aspetto che si percepisce anche visitando la città e i suoi monumenti.

Ecco che un dettaglio in una foto, riesce a rappresentare molto di più, riesce a riassumere la particolarità e la bellezza di una capitale come Vienna.

“Vienna appare bella soprattutto se la si guarda dal di fuori. E’ in verità un gioiello affascinante, si vede una piccola città fortificata con begli edifici all’interno.”

(Montesquieu)
