Ricardo Alfieri took this photo after the 1978 FIFA WORLD CUP final, where Argentina defeated Netherlands and won the tournament. In the photo, Alberto Tarantini is hugging to Ubaldo Matildo Fillol, the Argentina’s goalkeeper, and a fan without arms is coming. The photo became very famous, it called `El abrazo del alma´."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnFy1qUqr-PoGiD7To-Mp6pDH9qF0jWqvy_NYkFydx5FOX0De7DR5FdJs5RxnUFKpNW3oP9TEseMSPZ9YFvn7IHqZbomdSIJ4KGU1TwADgTXxYT1ffGVF9Xzmye15bC4qkdjJyUKQBvg/s1600-h/GetAttachment.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348000276412543346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnFy1qUqr-PoGiD7To-Mp6pDH9qF0jWqvy_NYkFydx5FOX0De7DR5FdJs5RxnUFKpNW3oP9TEseMSPZ9YFvn7IHqZbomdSIJ4KGU1TwADgTXxYT1ffGVF9Xzmye15bC4qkdjJyUKQBvg/s200/GetAttachment.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><br /></span><p></p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWyPDrCzvcj_QebmgAuih8d4aP5piIPdFBMVU2GJROhWgerlq3SR3NqBVDN3oVXCGBqWshjpz8-F_-EX8csAR9qcO14vfrSdVtdO1f6RICMv6s5zhiR6VqYgd39AAILH0MNODai0ps9Q/s1600-h/GetAttachment.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></a></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">THANK YOU MARIO!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Sandra Romagnoli sent me these great photographs! Together with her comments...</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Hello Carla,<br />this photo was taken this year, on february, from the inside of the Louvre Museum in Paris.<br />I was watching "French Painting" in the first floor (in the Denon Pavilion), when i looked trough a window. I saw the inverted pyramid and the Triunphal Arch of the Carousel.<br />The past and the present together, the classcism of Napoleon´s Arch and the modernism of the glass pyramids in the "courtyard" of the Louvre. The Arch is from 1808. It was build to celebrate the triumphs of Napoleon. Behind the Arch is the Garden of Tullerías. The pyramids, the inverted and the big one (it isn´t in this photograph), which is used as the main entrance to the museum, are from 1989. Both of them are made of glass and aluminium.<br />The second photograph is of the inverted pyramid inside the museum. You arrive there from the subway station. There is a comercial gallery with gift shops and coffee stores and the corridor to takes you to the museum.<br />In the third photograph you can see the big pyramid taken from the museum hall.<br />I´m in love with the Louvre, so I think that is the reason of the selection of these photographs. I expect to go there again</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">(Photos comming soon... when my pc makes up her mind...jeje)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></p></div>Carla B.
