Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci. Michelangelo was considered the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever since then he has been held to be one of the greatest artists of all time.[1] A number of his works in painting, sculpture, and architecture rank among the most famous in existence. His output in every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheer volume of correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences that survive is also taken into account, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. In his lifetime he was also often called Il Divino ("the divine one"). One of the qualities most admired by his contemporaries was his terribilità, a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur, and it was the attempts of subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned and highly personal style that resulted in Mannerism, the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance.

I SERIOUSLY ONLY MAKE IT G SO MY FRIENDS CAN READ! THERE WILL BE HOT MAN ON MAN ACTION IN LATER CHAPTERS!! "Male Brothel" Belvedere and Raimondo, two close friends, try to steal from The Great Orfeo, a infamous thief. He decides to teach them a lesson that they will never forget. The two young men ( 19 and 22) both decide to move away from the heart of Rome, to forget all about the situation with Orfeo. Along the way, they meet three other boys who also are in the same sort of situation. The five of them find what looks like an abandoned old Palazzo on the outskirts of Rome. It turns out that the Palazzo is actually owned by a middle aged man by the name of Giampiero. He decides to let the five boys live there with him, but under one condition: They have to be prostitutes, and help him create a gay brothel. BOY x BOY DONT LIKE? DON'T READ! It's in the renaissance period of Rome, Italy. (1500s) There is some random italian mixed in, if you really want to know what it says, just use google translator.

The myths and legends here gathered together have appealed and will continue to appeal to every age. Nowhere in the realm of fiction are there stories to compare with those which took form centuries ago when the race was in its childhood--stories so intimately connected with the life and history and religion of the great peoples of antiquity that they have become an integral part of our own civilization, a heritage of wealth to every child that is born into the world.

As fishing stocks dwindle the fight for the resources of the sea has become a war in areas where terrorism has taken root. "In 2012, against conservation rules, two large non-Mediterranean fleets were spotted in some of the main Mediterranean fishing grounds. The substantial presence of irregular foreign vessels in the Mediterranean, added to an evident decrease in the control zeal of nations involved in this fishery, is a reminder of the situation created by recent conflict in Libya. One of the fleets consisted of several Chinese ships (none of which is authorized to fish here), with the other comprised of several ships of unknown registry.The Chinese fleet entered the Mediterranean via the Suez canal, leaving the region via the Straights of Gibraltar reportedly heading to Mauritania.The second fleet refused to respond to attempts to communicate. The high prices paid for swordfish and tuna in the Japanese market mean that quota levels are continually not set low enough to allow the fish to recover, as well meaning that there is extensive illegal fishing going on. Single fish can sell for over $100,000. adapted from " treehugger." [mehr]
