Today I give a pause to my usual Gallery to show to the many "Brothers" in Art here on Renderosity a special Place here in My Country that someone else (and I also) has defined the Eight Wonder Of The World. When You think to Italy You know You can encounter Art at every step: Venice, Milan,Naples,Rome,Sicily,Florence...but here Masterpieces are tied to the Past...What I want to show you is a "present living Art", one of the Finest Places I ever seen, where dwells a "Spiritual Community" whose principles (something an Earth religion like ancient Druids) they say has inspired James Cameron for the famous movie Avatar and directly engaged in sustaining Bio-Cultivations, Fao,Greenpeace.Name of this place is DAMANHUR and is near IVREA in the Noth of Italy on the street from TURIN to AOSTA. Next month there will be here a spectacoular Ceremony tied to Summer Solstice. I have been impressed from this Place and Ceremonies (and I think that people who love Art and Spirituality)cannot miss to visit this Place unique in the World. Here are some useful other informations on what You are seeing- but You can find everything is necessary on Internet at the Site - www.Damnahur.it - On a mountaintop outside of Ivrea, Italy, in 1978, spiritual leader Oberto Airaudi (a.k.a. Falco) had a vision of sacred temples built inside of the mountain -- and the digging commenced. The Temples of Humankind were a secret from even the closest neighbors for the next twenty years as artists, artisans and builders excavated and created the equivalent of a five-story subterranean building. The community that has grown around this underground network of halls and corridors has its own system of government, its own currency with minted coins, its own school and stores. The people named their community, Damanhur, a word channeled by spiritual leader, Airaudi, from ancient Atlantean, meaning "City of Light". Today, temples filled with superbly painted murals, soaring sculptural columns, meticulous mosaic floors, and giant stained glass domes, are the context for this intentional community that celebrates universal world spirituality drawn from all sacred traditions. Secret Doors, the Blue Temple, the Hall of Water, the Hall of the Earth, the Hall of Metals, the Hall of Spheres, the Hall of Mirrors, and a Labyrinth are revealed in this guided photographic tour. This volume represents the astonishing art and architecture created by devoted members of the communal village of Damanhur. Merging ancient mystic customs and principles with contemporary consciousness and philosophy, this tiny utopia has manifested an eco-conscious, self-sustaining society. Damanhur’s temples are its most exquisite gift to the world.
