                                              MUSEUM OF MONDRAGONE


The museum of Mondragone has got different archeologicals collections from the prehistory to the Middle age and it is divided in 4 rooms. The first represents the local prehistory and also olds finds of the Roman colony "sinuessa" ; the second exhibits ancients finds  of the archaic age , while the third and the fourth room are dedicated to the Roman age and finds of that time.
But one of the most important thing inside the museum is the " Venere of Sinuessa". It was found in 1911 and , probably , was made by Prassitele , that was the most important Greek sculptor of the 4th century. In ancient times , this wonderful statue, decorated the old house of Marco Tullio Cicerone in Sinuessa





                 

                                                           THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

It is a British romantic biographical drama film. It is about one of the most important scientists in the world: Stephen Hawking , and expecially of his life with his wife Jane. When Stephen was 21 years old got a doctorated in physics and cosmology , but in the same year he got an horrible diagnosis , in fact he had an infirmity to some neurons that paralyzed him. But Sthephen , with his wife Jane , fought against this infirmity and thanks to their determination Stephen became an important scientist who changed science.
 The main actor is Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking and Felicity Jones as Jane Hawking. This movie in 2014 had a big succes , I think that it is a perfect mix of biographical and drama kind of movie. What I prefere of this movie is the protagonist , in fact he had a physical and mental transformation into Stephen Hawking and it is very remarkable because he engaged a lot , expecially physically, to play this role. At the same time , also the soundtracks are perfects, I think they are played in precises moments of the movie and they are perfects melodies too. So James Marsh has been a good director , in fact this movie teachs us that we must not hand over in our lives as Stephen.

This is a coloured photo and it shows the city of New York and it was taken by Google Images.
In the background there is New York and there are a lot of skyscrapers and among these we can see the Empire State Building. In the middle , between the Statue of Liberty and the city , there is the coast and the sea with a big boat. On the foreground there is one of the most popular statue of the world: the Statue of Liberty also called Lady Liberty. I think that this photo is wonderful and it underlines the greatness of the city, I think that the best part of the picture is Lady Liberty. I'd like to visit the city because it is spetacular.
