πŸ“Έβ›°The Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks) are the most known symbol of the #Dolomites (a consistent part of the Italian Alps Unesco World Heritage). They're also known as the Mountains of Venice since they're just 2 hours drive from the #Lagoon! You can see some pictures I took on the Tre Cime (my profile pic. too 😳😁). I go often there since they are in #myhometown territory, Auronzo di Cadore! πŸ”
🎼Why is there Chris Martin from #Coldplay???? πŸ€” Because today he is 44 🍾🎹🎀, born on 2 March 1977 in Exeter-Devon-England, and because Coldplay shot parts of the video for their Up & Up song on the Three Peaks. I post the video and more pictures in the Chat Room πŸ‘‡

πŸŽ₯12 April 1985. Dolomites in Movie Series.
Ladyhawke, American medieval dark fantasy film directed and produced by Richard Donner, is released. The film stars Matthew Broderick, #RutgerHauer, and #MichellePfeiffer! πŸ˜πŸ”
After a Satanic curse by a bishop who fell in love with her, Isabeau (Pfeiffer) is condemned to turn into a hawk by day and his lover Navarre (Hauer) condemned to turn into a wolf by night: therefore the 2 lovers are always together but they can't meet as human, unless they'd break the curse: Philippe (Broderick), a young thief, will help them for that.
#Ladyhawke is entirely filmed in #Italy, in various locations such as Abruzzo, Lazio, Lombardy and Emilia Regions and in a stunning location on the Dolomites, a 20 minutes drive from #myhometown Auronzo di #Cadore. πŸ˜ƒ
The film had fair critical reception and a good success all over the world.

🎼24 November 1941. Happy 80th Birthday πŸ₯³πŸΎ to Giuseppe "Pino" Donaggio, born in #Burano island, Venice and longtime vacationeer in #myhometown Auronzo di #Cadore, #Dolomites.
His name won't tell much to the majority, but #PinoDonaggio was a singer, musician and above all prominent composer since the 1960s. Most of his career is characterized by film scores, having written soundtracks for horror icons such has #DarioArgento, #BrianDePalma, #LucioFulci, #JoeDante: to name a few more #PupiAvati, #TintoBrass and the music for Italian legendary comedy #NonCiRestaChePiangere by #RobertoBenigni and #MassimoTroisi.

However Donaggio will be forever remembered for writing many Italian 1960s hits, his biggest one went international in 1965 and sold 80 million records worldwide!!! πŸ˜³πŸ‘
The song was called "Io che non vivo", and was performed in English as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by #DustySpringfield, #ElvisPresley, #PaulAnka among the others. In the Chat Room some of these versionsπŸ‘‡
