Taranto: Sparta’s Only Colony in Magna Graecia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sparta founded exactly one colony in its entire history, and it did so almost by accident. Yet, the city that emerged from it would become richer, more cosmopolitan and, for a time, more powerful than its mother city, all from a stretch of Puglian coast the Spartans had never intended to settle in the first place. The story begins with the First Messenian War. With so many Spartan men away fighting, the state had allowed unions between Spartan women and men who did not hold full citizenship, par
Inside Cremona’s Record-Breaking Astronomical Clock (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The clock face on the Torrazzo, the brick bell tower over Cremona’s main square, measures close to twenty-eight feet across, which makes it a good deal wider than the dials on Big Ben and, by common reckoning, the largest astronomical clock face in the world. It is not the oldest, whatever gets said about it: Prague has been running one since 1410 and Cremona’s dates from the 1580s. Size is the record it holds, and it has never stopped working. The face is painted as the vault of heaven, a blue
The Dammusi of Pantelleria: houses built to catch the rain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Seen from the road that climbs out of the port, the white domes scattered across Pantelleria, the dammusi,look like decoration laid over a black island, the one bright thing in a landscape of lava stone and wind-flattened scrub. Their dome is a catchment before it is anything else, since rain falling on that curved white surface runs down a channel cut into the roof, the cannalata, then into an underground cistern: for most of the island’s history that was the entire water supply of the househol
Red in Pompeii: How Vesuvius Repainted Pompeii (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You notice the red before anything else: walk into one of the great houses of Pompeii, out of the white southern glare and into the cool of a painted room, and the walls come at you in a deep, saturated, blood-and-wine red so distinctive that the world has simply named the color after the place. Pompeian red, or rosso pompeiano, as they say in Italy, is a shade you can still order today by that name from a paint chart, the color of the buried city and the ground on which its most famous frescoes
Rome’s Janiculum Cannon and the Daily Noon Tradition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m going to be honest, the first time I heard it, I nearly jumped out of my skin. I was somewhere below the Janiculum, doing the very thing I’m about to tell you not to do, chasing monuments, when the whole sky seemed to cough: a boom, flat and enormous, rolling down over the rooftops. I looked around; nobody else had so much as blinked. An old man on a bench folded his newspaper, glanced at his wrist, and went back to reading. It was noon, of course. Everyone but me had known it was coming. Th
