Understanding The Leccese Way Date: It’s difficult to imagine that Italy remains unexplored. With thousands of years of history and a panoply of storied empires and city-states to its name, Italy seems like a peculiar place for hidden gems. Though it may not be unexplored like Christopher Columbus’ new world, Apulia is a sleeping beauty waiting for its turn to shine in the sun. With its sweeping coastlines and dramatic views, Apulia intoxicates with its natural beauty. Nevertheless, the true beauty of this great region lies in its cities. For the cities of Apulia are places of communion where dozens of cultures throughout its storied history intersect. See, Apulia is a place of boundless history and tradition, a place with a unique sense of self. Our founder, Mesciu Gigi, found Lecce as his muse, a city characterized by its baroque style and limestone architecture. Every element of its essence ran through his being and by proxy his work. In creating our first collection, we pay homage to this great city by naming it “The Lecce Collection”, one in which we not only derived inspiration from Lecce but also showcased the grandeur of the city. #mesciugigo #leccecoat #italiantextiles #vbc

Come celebrate the V European Day of Historic Gardens with us on April 26th! We invite you to take an interesting walk around Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów, on April 26th (4:30 - 6 p.m): HISTORIC GARDENS AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE NEW CENTURIES: SANCTUARIES OF TRADITION OR EXPERIMENTAL FIELDS OF EXPLORATION? The beauty of historic gardens is the result of generations of work, united in their concern for the uniqueness of a place. However, an essential condition for the survival of even the most beautiful corners is their usefulness. Adapting to the needs of modern users forces a renegotiation of tradition. Should we choose historical plant species or those whose bloom lasts longer to please the eyes of walkers? Is it always the oldest that is most valuable? Should there be sporting opportunities in every park? We will look for answers to these challenging questions together on a walk through Wilanów's historic gardens.

It's common knowledge that Muse3D & Virtual Tourism New Zealand was created to promote the our hospitality & tourism industry through full-immersion, virtual reality. However, when we started this in 2019, I never anticipated that the response would take me into some of the most beautiful, mysterious amazing sites that our country has to offer, and to be asked to work on them has been an utter privilege, to say the least. Utilising the #matterport scanning system, as well as the #leicacamera BLK360, has taken me into caves, abandoned, historical buildings, and so many others. In the 5 years that Muse3D & Virtual Tourism New Zealand has been running, we have completed nearly 4,500 scans, with the smallest being one scan point (a communications room in a museum), with our largest being approx. 500 scan points. Many of these have been for real estate, but the majority have been to promote our tourism industry, and we have never looked back. Just recently, I was asked why I do what I do, and was there a need for it still now that the boarders are open. The answer is simple, because I can. I am an ideas man, my brain never stops working, and I like it that way. As for "is there still a need?" absolutely! We all have our favourite places that we like to work. I have several, because every place is different.I was born in Wellington, so that speaks for itself, I call the Hawke's Bay my second home for other reasons, and the list goes on. Historic churches, villages and other buildings all come with their own stories, good and bad, but they are all beautiful in their own way. #Hawkesbayoperahouse, because of its beauty and history, or the #historicnapierprison, because of its history, and what it can teach us, or the #howickhistoricvillage, which has been viewed 112, 523 times in 2 years, or the Oruawharo Historic Homestead, that is a work of art. These places are why we do what we do, and we do what we do because we can. Our history must also be preserved, and that's our goal, and we are not about to stop. Next week will see us back in Wellington, working with the Wellington City Council, and a few undisclosed locations, so watch this space! This is just one of our favourite scans. Direct from our capital city, Wellington. https://lnkd.in/gAWArSU3

Viña del Mar Park In Downtown Sausalito Sausalito, Marin County, CALIFORNIA Named after one of Sausalito’s sister cities -  Viña del Mar, Chile - the park is one of the best known in Sausalito, as it is situated across from the Ferry pier, where arriving visitors depart the ferries from San Francisco. The park lies in the heart of downtown Sausalito, so most have traveled by the park, but what some may not know is the history behind the park’s three main features - the Water Fountain, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Elephant Statues. All three were built for the 1915 Panama Pacific Fair and Exposition which was held in San Francisco. The fair was held to both celebrate the Panama Canal’s opening and the recovery of San Francisco after the fires and earthquake of 1906. When the fair concluded, most buildings that were built for the fair were demolished, however the statues, fountain and palace were deemed too beautiful to destroy and were moved to Sausalito.
