oh, yes, it is pulling groups. now as soon as i came over, i the a walk in the woods. why this germans sing? it takes along a recording device on her high x is one of the things you'll find out on today's show. and with that, welcome figure emacs his look at what else is coming up today to read

food classic is the dinner about a german invention. did it originate in turkey and wondrous worlds? what places inspired j are talking, fantastical setting of his 1st off, we traveled to florence, italy, the feats the gallery is one of the largest isms in the world and holds a collection of priceless works, particularly from the renee on period. it's also famous for large crowds and long queues with millions of visitors, usually passing through its gates every year. in direct i could smith, as now launched the project or feet, see the food, the, which we'll see works displayed it up to 100 different locations across the region . napoleon bonaparte, the french emperor and military leader, is on the move again as part of a special project. portraits and sculptures of him are being dispersed from the feats the collection in florence, italy,

to other parts of tuscany. packing is the biggest challenge, the painting. it moved from they're roll, it is put on the crate and it is move on the box, which is a double box surrounded by a policy around inside. the in order to have is soft inside the and the scanner is put in another box and double both. and inside the reason it's sort of your team and you scott, in the 2 pieces in order to put the inside and not to move inside the box. the movement of the paintings and sculptures is part of a project called features diffusing or scattered feed, see which aims to share important pieces of art with other cultural institutions. the collection is normally house in the famous 50 gallery in florence,

where crowds usually flood the halls of the building to see master pieces of art, to reduce the numbers of visitors. the leg pieces from the feet are being temporarily moved to other museums throughout the region. 20 works related to napoleon or traveling to a special exhibition on the island of elva to mark the $200.00 anniversary of the military leaders of death. by sending works of art from the feats throughout tuscany, we are hoping to show works of art, great works of art that normally aren't being seen by anyone and that remain dormant and our storage. but also we are hoping to draw attention to some really wonderful, starkly important, but simply beautiful places throughout at tuscany. and one of those places is porter. fred, i owe an elbow where napoleon was sent into exile after his application is french

emperor, in 18. 14. the exhibition highlights certain time periods and whose rain from his carnation to his death. ah, one of the highlights of the sun is the painting on clay, which represent napoleon on the day of his grounding. these edition gives us the opportunity to compel the spot rate which is normally present at the p. c gallery. with this other one which belongs to the collection of napoleon had conquered most of europe, including italy by the early 1900 century. but his dominance over italy ended with his fall, as emperor in 18. 14. he died just a few years later in 18. $21.00 at the age of $51.00. ah, with this exhibition on the island of alba,

we are hoping to really give back the spirits and the history of napoleon to the island where napoleon lived, and also to show some great masterworks from the feats the in a proper context where they gain much more meaning than sharing them isolated in florence. the exhibition on elbow is the 1st in a series of the few of the shows that will take place across tuscany throughout the coming months. how to listen to this study shows that the sounds of nature like this bird song can actually lift our mood in windsor. i often tried to brighten up my day by listening to the soundtrack of the forest. the germans sing, a song writer alexander conferred goes one step further by incorporating these

elements into her own electro pump. we met a hunting for new samples among the trees and bavaria. b. o. me is in a forest near munich, hunting for intriguing nature sounds. she's brought a field recorder along to capture them so quickly and i like looking for new sounds and then experimenting on like a playground because you can throw some leaves and sticks together and see what happens if some distance on child was comfortable. alexandra project called her tree,

is all about these sounds in nature. later she modifies them and adds voice elements and the thing the key thing she doesn't use any conventional instruments for you to really this is not the greatest challenge during the production stage is finding the right chords and melody kaufman tonight. so that's a total question. you can't use percussion elements once also, and for that i need animals sounds on us, but you need a lot of patients for animals to show up and she released her debut album. don't try be beautiful. in 2021. alex sandra,

spent no less than 4 years gathering sounds for it, but it wasn't. the initial plan is what the agnes you help kennedy here. i didn't really have an idea and i didn't have the intention of recording for sounds fun and i was hiking and became so intrigued by the noises that i began recording. i just wanted to listen to it later because i liked it so much and i shouldn't wait with it. she took the recordings to the studio where producer mark spindler began breaking them up, tweaking and rearranging them. creating percussion sounds melodies and baselines. find to the guitar, manage italy manipulating the sounds like creat artifacts and textures that you won't get from plugins or virtual instruments that will implemented fully. strict

kiddos in germany. animal sounds are in a certain key that makes things interesting. you have to pitch the sounds to get them in tune. that's why everything sounds different. nothing ever sounds the same flies clinton like skin never sounds the same. never sounds perfect. you never get exactly what you had in mind, but some other things along the way. alexandra is a trained pop and jazz singer. she scoured forests in germany, austria slovenia. and even the jungle and thailand born nature sounds close to the she. the thing is, difference between our forest and the tide. jungle said it's loud at night. there are not as loud here during night time. make a very quiet voice, weak one. occasionally you hear an owl who are a deer, but not many other animals. but in the jungle you can hear

a veritable orchestra of animal noises and other sounds. he has been on saying in the melodic electro pop songs comprised entirely of nature, sounds soon, alexandra plans to team up with biologists to produce even more varied nature music from the forest to the st. danica bab is one of the most popular st foods in germany. and europe with over $400.00 tons of it, consumed across the continent every day. just like peak m a sala and chop suey, is viewed as a dish that was invented by immigrant chest and then new home country combining established ingredients from their culture in a new way. but is that just a rumour? we investigated the dinner about his origins in berlin and bull, and also the southern german region of sway via the dinner kit. made from grill

me from a skewer, put in peter, along with vegetables and foss, this fast food around the world. and especially in germany, i use a lot in it. it's a good mix and really do see i've got everything. turkey you can only get on a plate, not as a bob that was invented in berlin. nevertheless, dinner kit, ball this turkish for grilled me on a spit we went to investigate in this on board in the turkish metropolis. don't a kid, bob is usually serve like this here that bob isn't cheap. fast foods like in germany, beach and food blogger feed up. there has been living here since 2015 and has been researching in history of the traditional dis, classically they've done it by what he found meal, you know, like we haven't served on top of rice with them,

grilled vegetables. so then it started several centuries ago as basically a grill me on a done. it came up as history all across 30 in turkey. the nice is the main ingredient in case this is supposed to be covered up by salad or thought chef easily. spatially, is skeptical about the german way of cooking, turn about big red cabbage, and we find that we're red meat doesn't go well with red cabin kato's, tomatoes, onions and bell pepper. go much better with the owner of bob in brett, we've never used red cabbage to put in turkey. it turns out that this quality veal and lamb is not only served on a plate sonic a bubbles in the sort of more positive variety. not exactly the same as defined in germany, but more on the go. so someone invented the sun that is become ubiquitous among the western countries, which gave him a piece of bread usually,

or another bread with lots and lots of thought. this was invented in germany. it's created or perhaps never thought saline. he served what may have been germany's 1st stone in 1969. it is st. fair and southern germany. i spent a lot here. the sand was here. i remember there were a lot of people you're standing. we had to meet right here to now if you see her, i'm positive, i was the 1st person to bring during the cabal to germany. you need this, your city, if i had known back then 50 years ago, i would have had it patent, puffin tier film. we'll skip right. yep. what's the last, what's that be sure to be able take on it with some sort of meet. what was i'm very proud to have played a role in doing a combined history. i need to do that again. this is tell he leer. the do know skewer back then with beef and land.

there wasn't any peter bread back then employed thing in southern germany. so he simply filled swavay and fred roles wiki, ogre meat, onions, parsley and tomatoes. and the 1st ever dinner bob in germany was created put something for loon is home to the donor cabal. cut you neuron is no deceased, but ran a journal joint at the zoo train station in the early 1974. he said to his intent to the donor, came up. there are more than one thousands during the places in the german capital . now, some simple and other stances in berlin center denise foreclosed, comes up with new and unusual. do no variation such as with mango. i think it's more of a german turkish dish network, and it's a sign of multicultural friendship. i'm on a foolish and we offer from the anatolia and it's kendrick a box to

a gentrified berlin, mit dinner with truffles and asparagus. this in fact, a little fancy, a little sloppy. and yet all good for years saw a dinner at bob is a turkish german success story. the delicacy stories, suzy. smell. amazing. the best chef with their best tip, from needs to be in an older recipes secret. welcome to my world. europe's diversity is a smorgasbord. subscribe and enjoy d. w food. ah, we now turn the page to one of the greatest fancy rises of all time j. talking his works, including the hobbit and a lot of the rings trilogy,

have inspired generations of readers. but what was his inspiration for creating these incredibly details and unique fantasy worlds? john gulf, a british author and talking expert, has now released a book which aims to answer that question. we met him in oxford, where talking spent most of his life, the magical landscape transposed into the cinematic version of middle earth, a fictional fantasy worlds, world war between good and evil is being waged on a grand scale in the harvest and lord of the rings. the british author, j. r. r. tolkien thought up his setting for his novels and described it in detail. but he himself spent most of its life in oxford. in his book, the world's g. r. r. tolkien. john gar describes what places inspired the british fantasy author. this is college oxford where toll he was professor of english

language and literature from 1945. this is when he was just nearing the end of writing a little over the rings. he was writing the, the last 2 books, including the battle scenes ministerial, which is a fantastic medieval city. and if you're inside there inside the quads, the quadrangles is very much like being inside a medieval city. ah, but oxford wasn't the only source of inspiration for ministerial. the capital of gondor, a literary works also played a role, such as the divine comedy by dante allegheny. this is an interpretation by italian painter sondra bought the chelly. me just use whatever was convenient to him. he use the scenery around oxford, the borrowers, the standing stones in the hills are adults and things like that. he used, i believe, memories, scenes from walks he had been on to token,

fused memories, fantasy and reality together. and one place that surely inspired him was barrington paul, the tower near oxford. it resembles the towers of the else or the tower of the sorcerer ceremony in eyes in guard. ah. so this is starting to fully 936 painting of the tower and the landscape is used by shell oil and its petrol advertising. and the 937 talking painted now the very famous picture of hobbits on the hill where bilbo baggins lives. and i believe strongly that if you look at that painting, you can see distinct similarities. dylan landscapes that the english countryside of tolkien's childhood also influenced his image of the shire home to the hobbins. his idea of public houses overgrown with grass, possibly came from tales that iceland, pears told his sons about trolls and pete covered houses. so places he had

never seen himself, also made their way into his fantasy world talking and travel much, but i think i was actually for practical reasons. he had a very, very memorable trip to switzerland and 1911. and i believe he actually went up the river right to get there on the, on a river boat. and both of these things seem to have inspired a great deal of, of what he wrote. i mean, any, any mountain scene in the hospital for a lot of things goes back to that. swiss trip in iowa in one place in the swiss alps, stuck in tokens. memory was the picturesque town of louder up on the rift valley home to the elves was modeled after it. later in the films, more visual touches were added and tokens. voyage through the ryan valley also appears in his books with the andrew in river. the pillars of the kings and argonaut may have been inspired by ancient statues. perhaps of egyptian barrows.

ah, there was one more source of inspiration to be found in oxford. this is a very famous tub. the eagle and child were talking and his friends including c. s . lewis, the nanette used to meet every tuesday, also they, they would do other things. they went to a country walks, sometimes they went on walking trips and i think some of that fed into the descriptions of the hobbits walking in the shy, even when the hub is tracked through the scenery of new zealand. the influences of oxford. you are pleased to see with his books, j. r. r. tolkien laid the foundation for the visually stunning world. and this goes to show just how far you can travel. even in your imagination. from tolkien imagination, we had to real fairytales setting in switzerland. the estate of bruno v about the

zurich is decorated with fantastical and mythological artifacts, as well as other worldly structures, leaving you wondering whether you have dived straight into a fantasy world. we took a tour of the deceased artists unique sculpture pock. i, somewhere in northern switzerland, little worms realty, unlike any of his defense, has an oracle world office. he devoted nearly 50 years, shaping a house and gardeners born entirely of his own imagination, inhabited by countless fantasy in theory, title creatures. he lived with his wife, maria unavailable to his death and 2011. it's no mystery to her. what inspired his visions? national very tales and miss, we're definitely an influence. we always do 3 to each other before bed and i'm laughing when he loved places of worship, especially gothic cathedral,

she caught it all, but then he'd also create from his imagination and english ships. i've still got portfolios full of ideas, he would have liked to make a reality. nevada was a painter, architects and sculptor hall in one. he lived with 4, and in his work to the years, his wife maria unavailable collaborated. she cast the concrete figures and spilled out together with the grandson. she lay the mosaics and shows visitors around the park and residence. she goes, i'll show you the house, come in the commission. i'd like to show you the forest garden that bruno symbolically depicted in miss bass. from dogs to the top. here you see the forest animals you to the small that the bushes in the camp fire for you,

like the kind you build in the woods. the monday and here you see a sculpture that merges the human and the animal. i'm up and it serves as the china cabinet. ah, the family eats either at the table in grills or at the transparent butterfly table with its wings. chairs. ah, take it everywhere. you can discover halls and passageways. some of the in the family, both are on. the 2nd floor is done up like a stomach type case started with colorful jim's spacious. bertha was intended for

visitors were allowed up here to did this. this room was also used for celebration a wedding, for instance. the, the bruno vapor park itself is a massive celebration of unbridled imaginations coming out. it's almost a shock to reenter the regular work at a world of molten switzerland with its factories and smoke stacks, rice outside the k. well, that marks the end of our journey today, but you can find much more european culture and lifestyle on our website. and that's also where you can take part in our price drawer, we are giving away a stand up panel. just let us know what your favorite summer sporting activity is. best of luck, and bye bye for now. the person who's
