👨🏫📜11 December 1712.
Francesco Algarotti was born in Venice.
He was a writer, essayist, art collector, polymath, philosopher, poet. Enlightenment spirit, Anglophile, erudite with knowledge ranging from Newtonianism to architecture and music, he was a friend of the greatest personalities of the time such as Voltaire, Lord Chesterfield, Thomas Gray, George Lyttelton, Thomas Hollis, Metastasio, Benedict XIV, Heinrich von Brühl, Frederick II of Prussia.
One of the biggest merits of #Algarotti was to make things simple: an example is his essay "Newtonianism for Ladies"☝️which was intended for the everyday people (and therefore despised by the erudite elitist of the time).
Today the most important Academy school for Tourism and Incoming in Venice is named after him, Istituto d'Istruzione Superiore Francesco Algarotti (see picture 📸☝️): #myguests always learn about it during my fantastic #WalkingTour in Venice 🤟
#FrancescoAlgarotti passed away in #Pisa, on 3 May 1764.

The Ascent of the Full Moon March 25, 2024
I love shooting the moon, especially at full moon time. But I am new to video creation and new to using my handphone to record. This is my first attempt to put together a compilation of short videos. Taken at Singapore's Marina Bay.

When dealing with Overtourism in the world, there's always Venice at the forefront... luckily #myguests don't experience that much (at least not every day).

Acuarelas de Venecia. Contenido Acuarelas de Venecia es un cuaderno de viajes con dibujos en acuarela. O bien puede servir de guía de la ciudad, ya que recorre sus principales monumentos. Sin embargo es a la vez un original regalo para el que haya visitado…
