Il castello Accarigi
Situato in cima ad una collina in località San Giovanni d'Asso, provincia di Siena questo manufatto di epoca medievale presumibilmente del Duecento-Trecento è anche chiamato Castell'Accarigi o Castelluccio Accarigi ed ha una storia incerta così come incerta è la sua datazione, mancando notizie ed elementi storici comprovanti la sua origine.
Si sa che appartenne alle famiglie dei Piccolomini e dei Marsili per poi divenire proprietà del cav. Giulio Accarigi - priore di Venezia nel secolo XVII il quale a sua volta, commissionò nel 1639 al pittore Astolfo Petrazzi il quadro raffigurante San Girolamo per la cappella del castello.
Partendo da San Giovanni d'Asso, lo si raggiunge dopo circa due chilometri arrampicandosi per la salita che porta a Monterongriffoli. E' strutturalmente costituito da due grandi fabbricati, uno medioevale, come lo testimoniano la base a scarpa ed i resti degli antichi piombatoi, l'altro di epoca più recente e più volte rimaneggiato. Anche se strutturalmente appare in buone condizioni, il castello ha sofferto lunghi periodi di abbandono.
The Accarigi Castle
Located on top of a hill in San Giovanni d'Asso, province of Siena, this medieval building presumably from the 13th-14th century is also called Castell'Accarigi or Castelluccio Accarigi and has an uncertain history as is its dating, lacking information and historical elements proving its origin.
It is known that it belonged to the Piccolomini and Marsili families and then became the property of the knight Giulio Accarigi - prior of Venice in the 17th century who in turn commissioned the painter Astolfo Petrazzi in 1639 to paint a painting depicting Saint Jerome for the castle chapel.
Starting from San Giovanni d'Asso, it can be reached after about two kilometers climbing the hill that leads to Monterongriffoli. It is structurally built of two large buildings, one medieval, as evidenced by the sloping base and the remains of the ancient machicolations, the other from a more recent era and remodeled several times. Although structurally it appears to be in good condition, the castle has suffered long periods of abandonment.

“Frau im Mond – Between Propaganda and Science Fiction”
The pin-up style painting on the V2 rocket replica in Peenemünde is more than decorative. It references Fritz Lang’s 1929 silent film “Frau im Mond” (“Woman in the Moon”) — one of the earliest serious portrayals of space travel in cinema. Ironically, this fictional inspiration was echoed in real life by the engineers of Nazi Germany’s rocket program, some of whom were directly influenced by the film. This image, blending war and imagination, science and mythology, stands as a haunting metaphor for how dreams of spaceflight were born from weapons of war.

O Castro de Monte Mozinho, situado no concelho de Penafiel, é um importante povoado fortificado, um dos maiores castros romanizados da Península Ibérica, ocupando cerca de 22 hectares. Habitado entre os séculos I a.C. e V d.C., na transição da Idade do Ferro para o período romano, apresenta uma organização urbana notável, com casas circulares e retangulares, ruas e muralhas concêntricas, refletindo a fusão de tradições castrejas e romanas. A sua localização estratégica, no vale do rio Sousa, permitia o controlo de rotas comerciais. Os vestígios arqueológicos, incluindo alicerces em pedra de habitações e espaços comunitários como uma acrópole (espaço para assembleias e mercados), são parcialmente visíveis, mesmo com a vegetação que se sobrepõe a algumas estruturas. O castro exemplifica a organização espacial dos assentamentos pré-romanos e romanos, demonstrando a adaptação das comunidades ao território e a influência da romanização na região.
The Castro de Monte Mozinho, located in the municipality of Penafiel, is an important fortified settlement, one of the largest Romanized forts on the Iberian Peninsula, occupying about 22 hectares. Inhabited between the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD, in the transition from the Iron Age to the Roman period, it presents a remarkable urban organization, with circular and rectangular houses, streets and concentric walls, reflecting the fusion of Castrean and Roman traditions. Its strategic location in the Sousa river valley allowed for the control of trade routes. The archaeological remains, including stone foundations of dwellings and community spaces such as an acropolis (space for assemblies and markets), are partially visible, even with the vegetation that overlaps some structures. The Castro exemplifies the spatial organization of pre-Roman and Roman settlements,
demonstrating the adaptation of communities to the territory and the influence of Romanization in the region.
