你是81亿人口中的一员 You are one in 8.1 billion

世界人口日

1987年,世界人口达到50亿大关,这是一个意义非凡的里程碑,由此产生了一个国际性的纪念日:五十亿人口日。伴随着急速增长的人口,一些相关的问题也亟待解决。因此,在1989年,联合国设立了世界人口日。如今,这不仅仅是一个纪念日,更是一个行动的呼吁。人口过剩导致地球的资源越来越少,敦促人类去正视那些紧迫的问题,如计划生育、垃圾和污染的增加、基础设施的缺失等等。当大都市里的人在和“过度拥挤”做斗争时,小地方的人口却在不断流失,导致人口分布失衡。一个典型的案例就是意大利西西里的甘吉镇,即今天图片展示的地方。在20世纪50年代,这个村庄大约有1.6万居民,如今,其人口只有6000多一点。为了振兴小镇,吸引人们的关注,甘吉镇将废弃的房屋赠送给那些有需要且愿意修复房屋的人。

World Population Day

In 1987, sometime around July 11, the world population reached the 5-billion mark. The United Nations recognized the need to address issues like family planning, infrastructure, waste, and pollution and established World Population Day in 1989. It is estimated that we hit 8 billion people in November 2022 and the UN expects the world to reach 9.7 billion people in 2050. But not everywhere faces the same challenges. While some areas struggle with overcrowding, others grapple with decreasing populations. The Italian town of Gangi, Sicily, seen in today's image, had about 16,000 residents in the 1950s. Today, it is home to little more than 6,000. Keen on revitalization, Gangi attracts new residents by giving away abandoned houses, on the condition that the properties are then restored.

“甜蜜的”穹顶 Dome sweet dome

圣母百花大教堂,佛罗伦萨

欢迎来到文艺复兴的摇篮佛罗伦萨!让我们跟着圣母百花大教堂一起穿越时空吧。这座拥有红砖穹顶的哥特式建筑可不是一座普通的教堂,它拥有数百年的历史,令人叹为观止。圣母百花大教堂建在一座老教堂的旧址上,该教堂供奉着圣雷帕拉塔。1296年,在建筑师阿诺尔夫·迪坎比奥的监督下,新教堂开始动工兴建。意大利建筑师和设计师菲利波·布鲁内莱斯基设计了教堂的穹顶,这也是有史以来最大的砖砌穹顶。作为教堂最后动工的部分,这个穹顶没有使用传统的木制框架做支撑,于1436年修建完毕。圣母百花大教堂的迷人之处,不仅仅在于其美丽的外观,在教堂里面,还有许多艺术珍品等待人们的探索,如乔尔乔·瓦萨里的壁画《最后的审判》,保罗·乌切洛绘制的复杂精细的钟面。大教堂建筑群中还有洗礼堂(一座小型教堂)和乔托钟楼(一座独立的钟楼)。行走在圣母百花大教堂里,就如同行走在历史的长中,每一次转身都能听见历史的回响。

Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence

Welcome to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Let the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore transport you through time. More than just a church, this Gothic structure, with its red-tiled dome, is steeped in centuries of history. Built over an older cathedral, construction began in 1296 under the supervision of architect Arnolfo di Cambio. Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi engineered its dome, the largest brick dome ever constructed. Its completion in 1436 was the final stage of the cathedral's construction. It's not just the outside that dazzles; inside there are artistic treasures to discover, from Giorgio Vasari's fresco 'The Last Judgment' to Paolo Uccello's intricate clock face. The cathedral complex is also home to the Baptistery, a small basilica, and Giotto's Campanile, a free-standing bell tower.

Step inside, and you're walking on history—every visit gives a glimpse of the past and a demonstration of human potential.

历史与大海的交汇处 Where history meets the sea

韦尔纳扎,五渔村,利古里亚,意大利

韦尔纳扎是意大利西北部五渔村的一个村庄,坐落在意大利里维埃拉崎岖的悬崖上。在这里,古建筑矗立在利古里亚海的海岸线上,生活中充满了渔民的喧嚣。韦尔纳扎(Vernazza)得名于当地一种名为“Vernaccia”的葡萄酒,“Vernaccia”这个词的意思是“本地的”或“我们的”。该地区最著名的古迹之一是多利亚城堡,建于15世纪,是一个防御堡垒,用于保护村庄免受频繁的海盗袭击。由于19世纪热那亚-拉斯佩齐亚铁路的修建,该村的陆路交通变得更加便利。鹅卵石铺就的街道没有汽车,非常适合步行游览。在这里,你可能想参观圣玛尔塔教堂和雷焦圣母圣殿。你知道吗,这里还是2021年动画电影《卢卡》的灵感来源!韦尔纳扎不仅仅是一个旅游胜地,它还是为那些追求意大利最纯粹灵魂的人准备的一片世外桃源。

Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy

Perched on the rugged cliffs of the Italian Riviera, Vernazza is one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre area of northwestern Italy. Here, ancient buildings stand along the coastline of the Ligurian Sea, and life is filled with the hustle and bustle of the fishing industry. Vernazza got its name from the indigenous wine, 'vernaccia,' meaning 'local' or 'ours.' One of the best-known monuments in the area is the medieval Doria Castle, built as a defensive fortress to protect the village from frequent pirate attacks. Thanks to the construction of the Genoa–La Spezia rail line in the 19th century, the village became more accessible by land. The car-free cobblestone streets are ideal for walking around. While here, you might want to visit the Chapel of Santa Marta and the Sanctuary of Madonna di Reggio. Vernazza is sometimes described as the pearl of the Cinque Terre with its natural port, colorful houses, and green terraces overlooking a sparkling sea.

西西里的风 A slice of Sicily

莫迪卡,西西里岛,意大利

提起意大利,米兰、罗马威尼斯等标志性城市往往会成为人们关注的焦点。然而,在西西里岛上却有一个名气不大的宝地,名叫莫迪卡。这座城市从1693年的一场地震的废墟中崛起,成为巴洛克风格建筑的奇观。这座被联合国教科文组织认定的世遗之城,其居民人口不到6万,鹅卵石铺就的小巷里留存着史前部落、古希腊人、罗马人、中世纪阿拉伯人和诺曼人的足迹。圣乔治大教堂和圣彼得教堂等地标性建筑的宏伟气势令游客叹为观止,而莫迪卡公认的巧克力则以阿兹特克人传统工艺制作而成,诱惑着众多美食爱好者的味蕾。所以,下次意大利向你招手时,选择去莫迪卡走一走人迹罕至的小路吧!

Modica, Sicily, Italy

When Italy comes to mind, iconic cities like Milan, Rome, and Venice often steal the spotlight. However, on the island of Sicily lies a less famous gem—Modica. It's a city that rose from the rubble of an earthquake in 1693 to become an architectural wonderland of Baroque-style buildings. With fewer than 60,000 inhabitants, this UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts cobbled lanes, echoing with powerful footprints—from prehistoric tribes to the ancient Greeks and Romans to the medieval Arabs and Normans. Landmarks like the San Giorgio Cathedral and San Pietro Church awe visitors with their grandeur, and Modica's famous chocolate, crafted with Aztec-inspired techniques, tempts the palates of food enthusiasts. So, the next time Italy beckons, how about taking the road less traveled to Modica?

伪装的日子 Days of disguises

威尼斯狂欢节

戴上精美的面具,穿上华丽的服饰,隐入威尼斯狂欢节的无边人群去狂欢吧!这是一个拥有数百年历史的节日,充满了神秘和美丽。这个一年一度的季庆典将狂欢与匿名结合在一起,这要归功于面具,而且这些面具通常会遵循特定的人物原型。在节日期间,成千上万的人身着仿17世纪威尼斯传统服饰的精美华服走上街头。狂欢节期间,游行派对活动层出不穷,还有音乐会和街头表演,这些活动一直持续到今年2月13日的“忏悔星期二”。在街上狂欢时,你可能会路过圣玛丽亚德拉安康教堂,在今天图片展示的远处可以看到,这是一座巴洛克式的大教堂,供奉的是圣母玛利亚——威尼斯共和国的保护神。

Carnival of Venice

Don your tricorn hat and gilded disguise, it's time to visit the Carnival of Venice. This centuries-old festival combines revelry with anonymity, thanks to the masks traditionally worn by attendees, from the classic square-jawed Bauta mask to the Colombina eye mask, with roots in Italian theater. Costumed rowers take part in a parade of traditional boats on Venice's famous Grand Canal while thousands of people wearing elaborate costumes enjoy the carnival atmosphere. Parades, parties, concerts, and performances will fill the streets until festivities end on Shrove Tuesday, which falls on February 13 this year. Visitors might pass by the Santa Maria della Salute, seen toward the back of today's image, a baroque basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is considered to be the protector of the city.

意大利北部的瓦尔加迪纳山谷是现实版的“童话世界”,该山谷位于南蒂罗尔多洛米蒂山区,以滑雪、攀岩和木雕闻名。圣诞节期间,这里会变成“圣诞谷”,木屋向游客们敞开大门,怀旧缆车在圣诞谷上空穿梭,闪烁的童话灯点缀着木屋。18世纪,瓦尔加迪纳山谷因生产雕像和精雕细刻的木俑而闻名,这些雕像最初用于装饰天主教堂,木娃娃是其中最著名的产品之一,至今仍在生产。

Val Gardena, South Tyrol, Dolomites, Italy

Val Gardena in Northern Italy is a popular destination for skiing, rock climbing, and woodcarving enthusiasts, which transforms into Christmas Valley at this time of year. Wooden huts open their doors to visitors, and a nostalgic cable car ride, each cabin adorned with twinkling fairy lights, travels above snow-covered slopes. During the 18th century, the valley became famous for its production of intricately carved wooden figurines, initially made to decorate Catholic churches. Among those creations, the peg wooden doll emerged as one of Val Gardena's best-known products and is still being produced today.

穿过群的蜿蜒小路

达尔达尼亚瀑布,博洛尼亚

在艾米利亚-罗马涅大区的众多奇观中,达尔达尼亚瀑布无疑是引人注目的。达尔达尼亚瀑布的名字来源于一条同名的溪流,该溪流在海拔250米的高差上形成了七个壮观的瀑布,其中最高的落差约为30米。该瀑布靠近圣母玛利亚圣殿,其壮丽的风景吸引了无数游客。流经数公里后,达尔达尼亚溪流汇入利奥,随后流入帕纳罗河,而帕纳罗河又是更大的河流——波河的一条支流。由于水质纯净,达尔达尼亚溪流是许多鱼类的栖息地,如褐鳟鱼和蓝鳟鱼。
