Trapani - Museo Pepoli
Trapani ( , ; scn, Tràpani ; lat, Drepanum; grc, Δρέπανον) is a city and municipality ('' comune'') on the west coast of Sicily, in Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Trapani. Founded by Elymians, the city is still an important fishing port and the main gateway to the nearby Egadi Islands. History Drepana was founded by the Elymians to serve as the port of the nearby city of Eryx (present-day Erice), which overlooks it from Monte Erice. The city sits on a low-lying promontory jutting out into the Mediterranean Sea. It was originally named ''Drépanon'' from the Greek word for " sickle", because of the curving shape of its harbour. Carthage seized control of the city in 260BC, subsequently making it an important naval base, but ceded it to Rome in 241BC following the Battle of the Aegates in the First Punic War. Two ancient legends relate supposed mythical origins for the city. In the first legend, Trapani stemmed from the sickle which fell from ...

Saint Francis Receiving The Stigmata (Titian)
''Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata'' is an oil on canvas painting by Titian, now in the Museo regionale Agostino Pepoli in Trapani, Sicily. Its treatment of colour has led some to date it to the 1530s or 1550s, but the usual dating is c.1525. The work was misattributed to Vincenzo da Pavia until 1946, when Roberto Longhi restored the attribution to Titian, now followed by the majority of art historians and confirmed by a 1953-1954 restoration which revealed Titian's signature. Its style is thought to be similar to his lost '' The Assassination of Saint Peter Martyr''. Francesco Valcanover, ''L'opera completa di Tiziano'', Rizzoli, Milano 1969.

Madonna Di Trapani
Madonna Louise Ciccone (; ; born August 16, 1958) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Widely dubbed the "Queen of Pop", Madonna has been noted for her continual reinvention and versatility in music production, songwriting, and visual presentation. She has pushed the boundaries of artistic expression in mainstream music, while continuing to maintain control over every aspect of her career. Her works, which incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes, have generated both controversy and critical acclaim. A prominent cultural figure crossing both the 20th and 21st centuries, Madonna remains one of the most "well-documented figures of the modern age", with a broad amount of scholarly reviews and literature works on her, as well as an academic mini subdiscipline devoted to her named Madonna studies. At 20 years old, Madonna moved to New York City in 1978 to pursue a career in modern dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist ...
