[spirit 遊記] 意大利威尼斯的琉璃
對於威尼斯，總有一種難以解釋的喜歡。<br/><br/>威尼斯並不是特別美的城市，老實說，夏天的威尼斯既潮濕又悶熱，狹窄的街道總令人覺得有點污猬。除了有船夫偶然一邊撐起gondola 一邊唱歌，水道其實也只有髒。不過，即便如此，水都還是有一股吸引人的風情，充滿著意大利式的熱情和開放。<br/><br/>威尼斯製造玻璃的技術是非常著名的，各式各樣的玻璃產品，從花瓶到首飾，千變萬化的顏色和千變萬化的配搭，足以令人看上一整天。聽說到玻璃工場還可以看到師傅吹玻璃，輕輕一吹，玻璃就變得通透纖薄。到威尼斯之前，一直想找隻琉璃鐲子，可惜走遍全城，都只有cuff 的，結果也沒買成。倒是買了很多首飾送人。有趣的是，回香港之後，有時也在服裝店看到「來自威尼斯」的頸鍊吊嘴，看起來倒像是真的來自威尼斯，不過標價卻貴了幾倍，哈。<br/><br/>[img]http://www.vmjewellery.com.au/images/murrinapendants.jpg[/img]<br/>在威尼斯看了很多送人，及後在香港看見標價高了幾倍的頸鍊吊嘴<br/><br/>[img]http://www.bigfoto.com/europe/italy/venice/venice-glass_m8h.jpg[/img]<br/>威尼斯玻璃店內常常看到classic vase <br/><br/><br/>小錄一：很多地方都吹捧有「威尼斯的gondola」，但船卻不是正式的gondola，我看著總覺得有點rip-off。真正的gondola 應是窄窄的，全身黑色，一般有三行位子，每行坐兩人。另一特點就是船首和船尾都彎起來，有點月稍兒的感覺。<br/>[img]http://www.gondolacompany.com/g/gondola3.jpg[/img]<br/><br/>小錄二：對於威尼斯的面具，從1436 年開始已經有這傳統，在il Carnevale di Venezia 戴上各式各樣的面具。至於面具本身，則大概分為三種：<br/>１。Commedia dell'Arte masks：根據傳統人物如Harlequin 和Pierrot<br/>[img]http://www.thalia1.dk/fotorest/commasks.jpg[/img]<br/>２。Fantasy masks：根據面具師傅的想像力，有時靈感也可能自傳統設計<br/>[img]http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/high/images/Christina-mask.jpg[/img]<br/>３。Traditional Venetian masks：比如白色半面具等等<br/>[img]http://www.2camels.com/images/festival-photos/venice-carnevale2.jpg[/img]<br/><br/>以下是未來三年的il Carnevale di Venezia 時間表：<br/>2008 January 25-February 5<br/>2009 February 13-24<br/>2010 February 5-16<br/>

Those masks just make me think of those in "Phantom of the Opera" masquerade...

<p>To 丘灵: It seems that you like travelling and have been to quite a lot of places.</p><p>I have been to Venice once as well ,it is truely a very beautiful city and left me a quite deep impression. The only pity about venice is ,just like what you have mentioned, the water. It looks like that all the water inside venice is 'dead'.</p><p>Nevertheless,venice is still amazing for its uniqueness and its products( I especially like the masks). If I have some spare time in the future, I really would like to go there for another visit~~~.( em......but I can imagine that living in venice for a long time might be a bit of pain......) </p>
