Divine Comedy
The ''Divine Comedy'' ( it, Divina Commedia ) is an Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun 1308 and completed in around 1321, shortly before the author's death. It is widely considered the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval worldview as it existed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: ''Inferno'', ''Purgatorio'', and '' Paradiso''. The narrative takes as its literal subject the state of the soul after death and presents an image of divine justice meted out as due punishment or reward, and describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's journey towards God, beginning with the recognition and rejection of sin (''Inferno''), followed ...

"Dolce Vita" is a song by Italian musician Ryan Paris, released as a single in 1983. The song was composed by Pierluigi Giombini, keyboardist of "I Like Chopin" and "Masterpiece". It reached the top 10 in many countries. The music video was filmed on-location in Paris. Composition Interviewed for the book ''Europe's Stars of '80s Dance Pop Vol. 2'', composer Pierluigi Giombini explained the evolution of the song: It was Gazebo who suggested I should write a song inspired by the title of the famous film. ..So I began to work on it right away, starting with the bass line on the Minimoog, and then I wrote the melody on top of that. Later, Gazebo wrote the lyrics. ..I did the arrangement in a couple of days and did the vocals and mix-down in another three days. The synths were basically the same - Minimoog, OB-8, ARP Odyssey and the Oberheim DMX drum machine. We also used our real hands over the snare. Interviewed in 2007, Paris described the background to the recording of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Orient Express La Dolce Vita
The ''Orient Express'' was a long-distance passenger train service created in 1883 by the Belgian company ''Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits'' (CIWL) that operated until 2009. The train traveled the length of continental Europe and into western Asia, with terminal stations in Paris and London in the northwest and Athens or Istanbul in the southeast. The route and rolling stock of the ''Orient Express'' changed many times. Several routes in the past concurrently used the ''Orient Express'' name, or slight variations. Although the original ''Orient Express'' was simply a normal international railway service, the name became synonymous with intrigue and luxury rail travel. The two city names most prominently served and associated with the ''Orient Express'' are Paris and Istanbul, the original endpoints of the timetabled service. The ''Orient Express'' was a showcase of luxury and comfort at a time when travelling was still rough and dangerous. In 1977, the ''Orient Expr ...
