LUDOVICO E GABRIELE IN NETHERLANDS
FIRST DAY
We arrived at the Eindhoven airport at two o`clock on the 21st of May and after one hour we arrived to Breda by bus, then we met our Dutch partners.
Ludovico
I arrived at Cristian`s house: it have 2 floor and an attic where is my room.
There are a lot of room: 3 bedroom,2 bathroom and one kitchen.
When I arrived I met his father Lorrein and his mother Eva : his parents are very friendly and easy to talk. The father doesn`t know the English but I can understand because he talk with me in french.
For the dinner we eat a strange kind of soup and a lot of vegetables.
I think that the Dutch people have some strange costumes like: go by bicycle everywhere and eat peanuts butter for breakfast but they are very courteous.
Gabriele
When I arrived at Michael`s housed I didn`t have a time for a rest, because Michael wanted to play basketball with Sjors (partner of Francesco) and their friends. Michael is very strong!. After that, we returned home, I hoped to rest, but Michael wanted to play football with Sjors, and after, with them, we had a Chinese dinner
In the evening we went to play football with Matteo, Cristiano, Mancini, Stefano, Bussi and our partners.
I think that the Dutch boys are very different from the Italian boys because they live in a small city and in a small country: most of them haven`t a Playstation, they go everywhere with bicycles and have a lunch and dinner very early.
GABRIELE E LUDOVICO AT DEN HAAG AND MADURODAM
The 23rd of May we visited the little Netherlands (Madurodam) where are the most important places and monuments of Netherlands for example the complex of the Dutch Parliament and Anne Frank`s house. The place was fantastic and really true to life. We had a good time to search the monument which we will visit.
After that we went at den Haag where we visited the Royal Picture Gallery (the Mauritshuis) were we watched a lot of famous picture like the “girl with pearl earring”.
The Ludovico`s favourite picture is: “the bull” of Paulus Potter because that paint represent the real life of the farmer during the 16th century .

Viola & Roberta in Netherlands
21st May 2007
Yesterday ,the 21st of May, we arrived at the Eindoven airoport at 14:00. We got off the plane and took our bags. Twenty minutes later we were in the car on the way to Breda. Then we said hello to our exchange partners.
We arrived at partners`home at 15:00. We had a very good impression, they are very sociable. Their parents are very nice and their parents speak a very good English.
We gave to parents the presents from Rome, they liked them so much.
In the afternoon we met some ours friends and we visited the city and during visiting we saw too many bikes.
We were surprised. It was a new reality for us, but more fun!
Breda is more peaceful than Rome, there aren’t many cars, and the organisation of streets is more efficient than Rome, in fact it`s cleaner.
Viola ate a traditional Dutch food like vegetables without flavouring and meat, instead Roberta ate Chinese food, cause the family is Chinese.
Today we got up at 6:00,and at 8:30 we arrived at school with ours bikes.
23rd May 2007
Today we went to “Madurodam’’.
This is a place where is built a ‘’Little Holland’’. A very curious project, we liked so much.
We saw ‘’The Houses of Parliament`` and in the afternoon we did a tour in the centre of Den Haag.
Then we went to ‘’Mauritshuis Museum’’ where there are a lot of famous paintings like
``The girl with a pearl earring`` and ‘’The view of Delft’’,both by Johannes Vermeer. It was very interesting.
Then we went to ``The Hague historical Museum``.
We came back to school at 18:30 and then we went to a pancake restaurant where we ate typical Dutch food for Enrico`s birthday. In the evening we met in a pub of Breda to watch the final match of Champions League Milan vs Liverpool.
Amsterdam 29th May
This morning we met at 8:30 at school as usual, and we left by coach at 9:00 o’clock.
At about 10:30 we arrived in Amsterdam and we went immediately at the “Rijks Museum” where we saw many interesting paintings from the 17th century, the “Golden age of Holland”. We remained there two hours and then we had lunch together. After lunch we visited the “Anne Frank house”. It was a strong experience and it was very impressive to see where Anne’s family actually lived.
Then we had some free time that we spent visiting the city and buying some souvenirs. The last activity was a boat trip on the canals of Amsterdam, it took about one hour and we all enjoyed it!
At 7:00 o’clock we came back on the coach and we arrived at school on time at 20:45.
In spite of the rain and the cold weather Amsterdam was fantastic.

LIVIA & VALENTINA`S IMPRESSIONS
We left Rome at 12:00 p.m. and we landed at the Eindhoven airport at 2:00 p.m. on the 21st of May. We took our luggage and we took a coach to Breda where we met our partners.
VALENTINA: Katy`s house (katy is my partner) is a bit far from the school, it is in the forest and I have to cycle 30 minutes every morning. Her house is smaller than mine, but it isn’t a problem. We sleep in her room together, I think her room is the most beautiful room in her house. Her parents and one of her sisters live with her, because the other sister lives in own house. She has 1 dog, Moe, 2 turtles and 2 cats. They usually have dinner at 6:30p.m. and they usually eat meat, vegetables and cheese. After dinner she sometimes watches TV and chats by MSN. At about 10 o’clock she usually goes to bed. We woke up at 7 o’clock, we washed ourselves and then we have breakfast.
LIVIA: Whitney’s house isn’t very far from school and I have to cycle to school for 20 minutes. In 4 days I will go to school by scooter because she’s going to have the license. When I arrived to her house I had a good impression because she lives in a quiet place and her house is really cute. It’s smaller then mine but it has two floors: on the first one there`s the kitchen, the living room and the dining room. On the second floor there are the bedrooms and the bathroom. Only one thing is a little bit strange: the W.C. isn’t in the bathroom but it is in a room on the first floor. We had dinner at 7 o’clock but they told me that they usually have dinner at 5:30/6:00 p.m.. Her family is composed by her parents and her younger sister.
24/05: Yesterday we went to Madurudam and we liked it very much. It was cool because we saw every part of Holland (in miniature) and because the weather was beautiful so we had so much fun. After that we went to Den Haag and we saw the house of Parliament and then we visited the Mauritshuis museum. Before we left we went to the Hague Historical museum. We arrived at De Nassau school very late and then we went to a pancake restaurant. We think pancakes are good but the Dutch people have them for dinner and we think that they are just a dessert. Then we went to a pub and we saw the Champions league final between Milan Vs Liverpool.

Bracciano castle
Bracciano, as some tombs attest, discovered near Colonette, was inhabited since the time of the Etrurians; but the first mention of the village is around 1234, when it belonged to the family of Prefetti di Vico. In 1290 it was given with "Castri, Rocche e Burgi Braziani" to the Arciospedale di Santo Spirito of Rome. It was conquered by the Bretons, who made it the headquarter of their raids at the time of the fight between Pope Urbano VI (1378-1389) and the antipope Clemente VII(1378-1394). The castle appears in the history reports in 1419, when Martino V (1417-1531) conceded it to the Orsini . Around 1470 the family the castle was transformed in a real renaissance court. From the end of XVII century the owners, after the Orsini, the Odescalchi and, for short time, the Torlonia, contributed to consolidate and to restore the castle.
It was opened to the public in 1956, the Museum is developed on 3000 square meters. The tour of the castle consists in a passage in history from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Going around the halls you can breathe the magical atmosphere of the past.

The Diary of Anne Frank
The diary of Anne Frank is a real story wich explains and describes lots things about the life of this young girl who lives her adolescence in an awful time.
The diary of Anne Frank is so passionate and interesting because it describes the real life condition in WWII
I think "The Diary of Anne Frank" is a very important book. It describes the life of Anne Frank a young Jew girl forced to hide for three years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. That book helps to understand the real meaning of Nazi persecution and not to forget those horrible years.
The Diary of Anne Frank is a book which surprises and awakens the reader, because he catchs the Anne's live wish, but in the final part of this book who reads will discover the sad real life.

(Cristiano Insola, Matteo Simonetti, Ludovico Alisi, Gabriele Pistilli)
It’s unbelievable to read the story of the disaster of World War II by a girl of ours age.
I liked a lot the love story of Anne and Peter, which was born despite the war.
I knew how solders lived during the war but this book was useful to know how the people lived.
For me this book is very interesting because it’s a real story.
It’s important to remember the story of Anne Frank because all people have the right to live in freedom.

I liked a lot the love story of Anne and Peter, which was born despite the war.
I knew how solders lived during the war but this book was useful to know how the people lived.
For me this book is very interesting because it’s a real story.

I think this book is the best which I have ever read about the deportation of the Dutch Jews in the Second World War. Anne Frank, the writer-protagonist wrote a big testimony about how she lived in a secret refuge.
This book is very interesting because tell about a girl of 14 who is a Jew and is forced to go with her family from Germany to the Netherlands because in that time was the WW2.

This book is a light of hope in the darkness of the Second World War, and it doesn’t leave us scared but with hope.
The diary of Ann Frank reports the dramatic persecution of the Jews people during the Second World War.
The diary completely changes your point of view about the persecution of Jews people.
I like this book because it talks about the real life of people who lived in that time, the opinions and the fears of the little Ann Frank.

This diary reminds us of the voice to whom
had been imposed silence.
This book is very important to let us know how hard life was during the WWII .
I really liked that book because it explained to me how a girl of my age used to live in WWII.
I think Anna isn’t very different from me because she’s just a teen-ager who wants to became an adult as soon as possible. The book finishes like the life of jews in that period who were deported to lagers. In fact they had to interrupt their life.

Villa D'Este
The Villa d'Este is the most famous of all the Renaissance and Mannerist residences in Europe. It is not that much bigger or more luxurious than the Villa Lante, not that much more stunning than Bomarzo.It is perhaps because of the famous guests who resided at the Villa d'Este.
In the 19th century, the Cardinal of Hohenzollern allowed his best friend to stay there. This friend was Franz Liszt.
Liszt would come to Tivoli regularly, over a period of four years. There, he has composed the famous "Jeux d'Eaux à la Villa d'Este".
During the 18th century, Hubert Robert and Fragonard have accompanied the Abbot of Saint-Nom on his Italian voyage. These two artists were made the most beautiful drawings to be found of the countryside.
A century earlier, de Brosse wrote his most vibrant letters on Italian taste while residing there. Naturally, Montaigne visited the Villa d'Este. The Villa d'Este was commissioned and built by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este. He was born in 1509. He was the son of Lucrezia Borgia and the grandson of Pope Alexander VI. He was the only Cardinal who could say that he was the grandson of the Pope. In 1572 Ippolito die.
In the garden of the Villa d'Este had worked some excellent artists like Pirro Ligorio who had collaborated with Ippolito for seventeen years.
The other artists are Thomaso Chiruchi, the best hydraulic engineer of the 16th century, and Claude Venard, the most extraordinary manufacturer of hydraulic organs in the world, has worked for the fountain.
Here has worked also three very good painters like Federico Zuccaro, Livio Agresti and Girolaio Luchiano.
Tivoli is very near Rome. The countryside is beautiful. In the countryside of Tivoli there is a big park where had lived the emperor Adriano: “Villa Adriana”.

1.Post haec profectus in Gallias omnes civitates variis liberalibus sublevavit.2.Inde in Germaniam transiit pacisque magis quam belli cupidus militem, quasi bellum inmineret, exercuit tolerantiae documentis eum imbuens,ipse quoque inter manipula vitam militarem magistrans, cibis etiam castrensibus in propatulo libenter utens, hoc est larido, caseo et posca, exemplo Scipionis aemiliani et Metelli et auctoris sui Traiani, multos praemiis, nonnullos honoribus donans, ut ferre possent ea, que asperius iubebat;3.Si quidem ipse post Caesarem Octavianum labantem disciplinam in curiam superiorum principum retinuit ordinatis et officiis et inpendiis, numquam passus aliquem a castris iniustes abesse, cum tribunos non favor militum, sed iustitia comendaret,

1. Dopo tutti questi eventi partito per la Gallia salvò tutte le città con ogni agevolazione. 2. Di lì passo per la Germania e più desideroso di pace che di guerra, fece esercitare l’esercito istruendolo con esempi di tolleranza, insegnando la vita militare tra i manipoli, mangiando anche i cibi dei soldati servendosi in propento di formaggio e posca con l’esempio di Elio Sparziano e Metalli e l’autorità su Traiano, donando a molti dei premi e ad altri onori, per sopportare quelle difficoltà che lui indubbiamente comandava;3. Dopo Cesare Ottaviano, frenò la disciplina che si era rilassata con regola ordinate e norme, non sopportando che qualcuno se ne andasse senza un motivo dall’accampamento, assegnando le cariche non al favore dei soldati ma alla giustizia.

Palazzo Farnese
Palazzo Farnese is a prominent High Renaissance building in Rome, which currently houses the French Embassy in Italy."The most imposing Italian building of the sixteenth century", according to Sir Banister Fletcher, this palace was designed by Antonio da Sangallo (1484-1546). Construction began in 1517, commissioned by Alessandro Farnese, who had been appointed as a Cardinal in 1493 at age 25 . Work was interrupted by the sack of Rome in 1527. The building was redesigned in 1534 and 1541, modified under Mic
helangelo after Sangallo's death in 1546 onwards, adjusted for the papal nephew Ranuccio Farnese by Vignola . Several main rooms were frescoed with elaborate allegorical programs including a series of frescoes on Hercules, and The Loves of the Gods by Annibale Carracci. For generations the room with Herculean frescoes (Sala d'Ercole) housed the famous sculpture from Greco-Roman antiquity known as the Farnese Hercules. Other works from the family collection of classical sculpture were also housed in the building. The Palazzo Farnese houses the great library of the Ecole Française de Rome, concentrating especially on the archeology of Italy and medieval Papal history.Reggia di Caserta
The Palace of Caserta, in Italian Reggia di Caserta, is a royal palace in Caserta, near Naples, built for the Borbone kings of Naples. It was the largest palace and probably the largest building erected in Europe in the eighteenth century. In 1996, the Palace of Caserta was listed among the World Heritage Sites on the grounds that it was "the swan song of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from which it adopted all the features needed to create the illusions of multidirectional space".
The construction of the palace was begun in 1752 for Charles VII of Naples, who worked closely with his architect Luigi Vanvitelli. When Charles saw Vanvitelli's grandly-scaled model for Caserta it filled him with emotion "fit to tear his heart from his breast". In the end, he never slept a night at the Reggia, as he resigned from the throne in 1759 to become King of Spain, and the project was carried to completion for his third son and successor, Ferdinand IV of Naples.
