It will take some time to complete this series.
First one, made with Helios-44-m, is something I saw in the market, a sign with a proverb in Venetum dialect. The meaning is: "The swine does not become old, but the old (man) does become a swine":

It looks like you had an informative and fun time, Orio! The turtle reminds
me of the scene in Cleopatra where Caesar orders the turtle formation, this
is the 1960 movie with Rex Harrison and Elizabeth Taylor in title role.
Like all the camp shots, and #2 in the first set! (Bring on the babes! )

Back to the castrum. The battles begin:
Contax Distagon 1.4/35:
From now on all Contax Sonnar 2.8/180. Unfortunately it was not allowed to enter the castrum during the battles. So I had to stay on the terrapieno (english word?) and use a long tele. As added unluck, the FA chip detached from the Contax adaptor, so I had to focus naked eye with the 400D, not the easiest of tasks:
There is a lot more to see, in the next week I will publish the whole series.

About the proverb in first photo, don't know, probably due to linguistical differences is better if I explain.
"The swine does not become old" refers to the fact that the swine is the main meat here in northern Italy and they do not survive because we eat them
Also "porco" (swine) here (don't know if it's the same for you) means also leacherous erotically morbid man.
So the second part of proverb, which is reversed compared to first, means that the old man, with age, becomes a "porco". _________________ Orio, Administrator

They are (or at least very similar). We call them "celtic harps".
Quote: |
the battle scene (why can't the Celts win just once? ) |
This was not a fantasy but a reconstruction of the real battle of Brixellum of 218 B.C., when the Romans defeated the Celts and took possession of what is today the region Emilia (my region).
After that defeat, the Celts (I mean the celts that lived here) they never left the land, they stayed and they became part of the Roman empire. THey fought many times together with Romans.
We as Emilian people are descendants of those Celts, of course mixed with all the other people who dominated our land after the Romans.
Our dialect is classified as "Gallic-Italic language" and is a living testimony of the mix of the two cultures.

I told you, you can visit when you like. Airplane tickets can be really cheap if one plans in advance. You will be my guest, maybe next year we can go there together!

No no, they are there, you will see them in other shots.
EDIT: even here I can see one of them with the actors, one with the dancers, and several with the battle (one has a videocamera). _________________ Orio, Administrator
