🎼29 June 1948. Happy Birthday 🥳🍾 to Mr. Ian Paice, "The Chief", a living drumming 🥁 legend, born Ian Anderson Paice in Notthingham, England.
Drummer for Deep Purple for a lifetime and the only original member of the band (since 1968!!!), Paice is widely regarded as one of the best drummers in history! 🙌🔝
Despite that Ian has always been a down to earth guy, I met him few times here in Venice, he used to come down in the area every summer and play concerts with local musicians and #DeepPurple cover bands. Like in this video with his friend Italian guitar master Tolo Marton 🎸, taken from #Marghera Estate Village 2012, a local festival they don't do anymore👇

"Highway Star"-Tolo Marton & Ian Paice - with Aldo Casai & Ivano Bosello - by Perentin Giuliano

📜29 June 965. San Pietro in Volta was born on the island of #Pellestrina, one of the most remote and secluded inhabited places of Venice Lagoon (see map☝️).
One of the main reasons Venice grew and expanded so much in Medieval centuries was to escape the Barbarians frequent invasions.
In 915 the Hungarians, after having devastated the mainland, were defeated by Venetians in Pellestrina island while attempting to assault Venice. 💪
In memory of the victory, about fifty years later (29 June 965) a Church dedicated to St. Peter was built. The whole place was named San Pietro in Volta, where "in volta" stands for "on the run", with reference to the Hungarian armies escaping. It was the main and last attempt by Barbarians to invade and dominate the island.
After that Venice would be safe and free to become the most important city of the Mediterranean area.
