AllRefer.com - arcade (Architecture) - Encyclopedia Both freestanding and blind arcades were used in Romanesque facades (notably in N Italy) and in the west fronts of English and French Gothic cathedrals, where the arches were often filled with statues of saints. Richly designed arcades surrounded the enclosed cloisters of the medieval and Renaissance monasteries; they were similarly used in the courts of houses in Italy and Spain and in the courtyards of Islamic mosques.

Emuita.it Network They are very famous here in Italy too, but I always prefered spending my money in classic coin-ops actually. As for collecting handhelds, well I had to buy some expensive games for simulation in the past too,though I believe the most expensive of all handhelds can't be compared to any arcade game -- which I don't own any. I had kicked around the idea of doing something like the old Electronic Arts Pinball Construction Set except in 3-D, but Randy Davis beat me to it with his mighty Visual Pinball. www.emuita.it /spider.php?pagina=intervista&id=14   (176 words)

Home of the Underdogs - Entry: European Championship 1992 You can choose from 25 European teams represented in that tournament, although there's hardly a difference between playing, for example, Greece and Italy (except nationalistic pride, of course ;)) If you like the arcade game, you might find this one a bit nostalgic--- although not necessary fun at all.

ninemsn Encarta - Search View - Italian Art and Architecture A secondary, although no less prominent characteristic, is that, partly reflecting the political fragmentation of the country, the development of art and architecture in Italy has been shaped by distinctive local schools and regional traditions, whose focal points were the great centres of patronage, among them Florence, Bologna, Padua, Venice, Rome, and Naples. A primary characteristic of Italian art and architecture, particularly after the Renaissance, is that it has been strongly affected by the cultural legacy of Italy's Classical past. His most famous secular building is the Ospedale degli Innocenti (completed 1445), whose arcade of round arches on slender columns shows the influence of Tuscan Romanesque, rather than ancient Roman, architecture. au.encarta.msn.com /text_781533649__1/Italian_Art_and_Architecture.html   (197 words)

trevisani introduction The notion of an Italian nationality, identity or ideology was quite fanciful: settlers from Italy felt first and foremost an attachment to their locality of origin, and then to their province or region. One theatre of the Great War was in North Eastern Italy, in the Veneto — Friuli Region.

arcade Both freestanding and blind arcades were used in Romanesque facades (notably in N Italy) and in the west fronts of English and French Gothic cathedrals, where the arches were often filled with statues of saints.

Taste: Dim sum with Bud Crossing Mulberry and turning down Mott Street, we were finally in the heart of Little Italy, where the last booths of the annual San Gennaro festival were being dismantled. The dim sum restaurant, upstairs in an enormous shopping arcade at 88 E Broadway at Market, was our last stop. Trillin took us by there anyway, crossing Houston, once the demarcation line between the Italians and the Irish, to Sullivan Street, where I pondered the rather redundant words on the cheese shop's window: cheese, spaghetti and mozzarelle. www.stpetersburgtimes.com /2002/12/11/Taste/Dim_sum_with_Bud.shtml   (1447 words)
