Bologna, Italy - May 2009: Each May the citizens of Bologna carry the figure of the Madonna around the city in procession.
The weekend of the 6th Sunday of Easter Bologna’s most important religious festival is held: the image of the Madonna kept in the Santuario di San Luca descends into the city for the blessing in the church of S. Petronio. The celebration closes with the solemn return procession of the image to the Sanctuary.

Howdy. Welcome to Tranquilli.org!
Thanks for dropping by!
Most of the content of this website is automatically posted by a nice piece of software I wrote: Suckrss.
Suckrss aggregates personal RSS feeds provided by social networks and automatically repost new content of mine to this meta-blog via xml-rpc calls. Enclosures links are replaced so that you never need to leave the website (photos and videos are overlayed when you click on them); duplicate posts are discarded; a map and a (reverse geocoded) place name are always provided for georeferenced objects.
Yes, there are tens of lifestreaming services out there.. but I wanted to write one from scratch for my own customization needs and that was able to use the popular Wordpress blogging software as web frontend.
