he understood that it was increasingly difficult for a traditional delicatessen to compete with the shopping centers that had now penetrated the city center he decided to change the direction of the shop and return it to its original concept from 1955: a classic neighborhood delicatessen and trattoria The result it is a small gem in the Quartieri Spagnoli “I think I have created a beautiful thing,” Gino tells us proudly always filled with customers that I take care of one by one.” the star of Alimentari da Maria is an antipasto platter of cold cuts and cheeses “I only use excellent southern cured meats and cheeses: provolone mozzarella,” explains the knowledgable Gino “Among the cheeses are those selected by one of the greatest Italian refiners There’s the Paganoni bresaola from Valtellina there’s the bacon from the Aurora salami factory in Parma.” On the menu is the maccheroni allo scarpariello made with cherry tomatoes and lots of pecorino cheese Pecorino has always been the southern Italian cheese par excellence Before the arrival of Parmesan cheese from the north the most popular cheeses were pecorino and goat cheese who many years ago were paid for their work by customers with a piece of pecorino cheese and that a cobbler from the Spanish Quarter invented this simple lunch of tomatoes and pecorino still one of the symbolic dishes of the neighborhood today there is another legendary pasta made with potatoes and provola cheese – the simple combination of pasta with potatoes generates what is truly one of the tastiest dishes in Neapolitan cuisine (there are two clashing schools of thought regarding the addition of provola to the dish although it’s clear on which side Gino falls) There is also the pasta and beans that Gino prepares with the addition of pork leg a Genovese (slow-cooked onion and meat sauce) that cannot be missed as well as the gnocchi alla sorrentina (gnocchi with mozzarella and tomatoes) Gino uses artisanal pasta from D’Aniello in Gragnano a town known for producing the best macaroni “The wines are mainly from the Campania region but there is no shortage of Sicilian wines We also have the side dishes that Mamma Maria prepares every day: aubergines Her famous ragù is still on the menu as well a dish that can win over even the trickiest customers “The parents told me that this boy never ate I served him meatballs with meat sauce and macaroni with Neapolitan ragù … and the boy ate his entire dish Tourists are fascinated by this quaint little place especially those from the nearby offices in Via Toledo who stop by for a quick meal during their break The city center of Naples is still extremely lively and inhabited and a network of solidarity in the old city center supports many small businesses like Alimentari da Maria Unlike other Italian cities such as Florence or Venice where the historic centers are now filled with hotels and bed and breakfasts where a large presence of local residents and neighbors supports local artisan businesses The shopkeepers themselves participate in this network “I only use local suppliers; I only buy from small shopkeepers in the neighborhood,” says Gino “I buy meat from the Tortora butcher in Vico Tiratoio the next alley; fish from ‘Gerardo the fisherman’ in via Pizzofalcone – we have been ordering from him for 40 years… first my mother loading map - please wait...Map could not be loaded - please enable Javascript!→ more information 2017 at 1:31 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Information via Clancy-Palumbo Funeral Home Raffaele Savinelli 83 of East Haven passed away peacefully on February 10 2017 at the Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven surrounded by his family Italy to Francesco and Rosa (Perrotta) Savinelli Raffaele is survived by his two loving children Frank Savinelli of Branford and Rose (Savinelli) Kronberg of New Haven and one grandson He is also survived by his dear friend and companion Alessandra DeMarchi of Chicago and Maria DeRosa of New York Raffaele is preceded in death by his parents Raffaele was a member of the Annex Club in New Haven and a bocce ball enthusiast Raffaele owned and operated Savinelli Painting for over 40 years Family will receive friends from 4 to 7 PM on Tuesday 2017 at the Clancy-Palumbo Funeral Home (Clancy Funeral Home) 43 Kirkham Ave. East Haven and again on Wednesday morning from 9:00 AM until 10:30 AM Funeral procession will leave Clancy-Palumbo Funeral Home on Wednesday at 10:30 AM for a Mass of Christian Burial at 11 AM in St East Haven with Committal to follow at All Saints Cemetery in North Haven Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.

Near Viterbo, an hour from Rome, until 90,000 years ago there was an active volcano that concluded its activities and collapsed in on itself, forming a crater that later became a lake, surrounded by centuries-old forests, creating a protected environment of unspoiled natural beauty: this is Lake Vico. The basin of Lake Vico the Cimini Mountains and their slopes were protected by the Reserve in the early 1980s and this has prevented a rush of building construction in an effectively fairy-tale place at about 500 meters above sea level at the shores of which it has reeds and wetlands flat areas with meadows and pastures until it is overlooked by the mountains all around that touch 965 with Mount Fogliano and 851 with Mount Venus The lake covers about 12 square kilometers with a perimeter of 18 kilometers and a depth of 50 meters the place is an ideal destination for biking or hiking thanks to the many trails there (very well marked by the CAI) We could not miss the mythological reference that attributes the formation of the lake to Hercules who challenged the poor peasants of the valley to a test of strength: he forcefully stuck his club into the ground so much water gushed out that it created the lake history and art that cannot be missed during a stay on Lake Vico.1 Lake Vico Regional Nature ReserveThe Lake Vico Regional Nature Reserve covers an area of 4,109 hectares (in the municipalities of Caprarola and Ronciglione) and includes the entire lake basin as well as the mountain belt surrounding it and thanks to the environmental integrity of the entire area that a rich plant and animal bio diversity hazelnut and chestnut groves typical of the area the slopes of these mountains express an array of colors that are nature’s ever-changing and highly evocative repeating spectacle The large number of both resident and migratory bird species in the area attracts birdwatchers and the grebe is the symbol of the reserve There are also many nocturnal and diurnal birds of prey Ronciglione is a village perched on the southern hills of the Cimini Mountains and is among the most important historical centers in Tuscia taking visitors from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the Baroque It was born in the early Middle Ages when the Prefects of Vico built it in 1045 as a garrison on the trade routes: in fact an alternative route to the Via Cassia called “via Ciminia” passed through here A strategic position that brought fortune and wealth to Ronciglione between the 12th and 16th centuries and then gave way to the Farnese family in the 16th century which further developed and flourished the village the Farnese dukes transformed it and urban expansion went hand in hand with architectural and artistic care The 1671 cathedral is in the Baroque style with three naves where the central one is divided from the side naves by four pillars and is topped by a heavily worked stone dome There is an altar in polychrome marble with an altarpiece by Giuseppe Ghezzi depicting Our Lady of the Rosary and then again a 15th-century triptych by a Viterbo painter The central and identifying element of Caprarola is the majestic Palazzo Farnese built in the 16th century on a design first by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and then by Vignola with a pentagonal plan equipped with a circular courtyard It is an imposing palace-fortress set on a rise from where it dominates the village; to get there you have to climb flights of pincer stairs with several flights and halfway up there is a terrace overlooking the main street there is a spiral spiral staircase called the “Scala Regia,” supported by as many as thirty columns with the walls richly decorated with frescoes by Antonio Tempesta The staircase culminates in a frescoed dome with the Family’s coat of arms in the center On the second floor are to be visited the rooms of the Mappamondo the Angels and the Fasti Farnesiani all frescoed Outside to admire are the Italian gardens that extend to the woods The Beech forest on the northern slope of Monte Venere is called “depressed” because these beech trees have grown at a much lower altitude (even 500 meters) than is typical (between 800 and 1800 meters) but the negative meaning of the term clashes with the feelings of tranquility and beauty that can be experienced here Especially in autumn when the changing colors create a scenery unheard of for city dwellers it is a refuge to be discovered with the Cai trails and paths for hikes and walks even of not too much difficulty Initially Monte Venere was an island within the lake until the Etruscans with hydraulic works and canals lowered its water level in order to cultivate In the Cimini Mountains, at an altitude of 561 meters, is this medieval village that grew up around the Cistercian abbey dedicated to San Martino which administratively today is part of the municipality of Viterbo becoming a principality thanks to Olimpia Pamphilij Maidalchini who had herself appointed princess by her brother-in-law Pope Innocent X Donna Olimpia was responsible for the economic development but even before that the urban-architectural and cultural development since she wanted to endow her “kingdom” with what befitted such a rank First-rate architects and artists such as Bernini Marcantonio de Rossi were called in and put their hands to everything Two buttressed bell towers were added to the sides of the facade designed by Borromini and much of the complex was renovated or built over Olimpia Pamphilij (whose family has a palace in Rome’s Piazza Navona) had her own mansion which had been devoid of vocations for centuries by then and the Abbey was drained by ecclesiastical authorities when the principality was established Ti such grandiose Gothic-style structure with three naves with cross arches also remains the large polyphora in the middle of the facade and a gold and silver bust is preserved in the transept The palace is sumptuous and stately is known for the Aldobrandini Hall on the mezzanine floor and the Olympia Hall on the second floor The village has a semi-elliptical shape being bordered by a city wall against which all the same houses were built Do you remember the story of Hercules and his club the point of the incredible blow on the ground would be what is now called the Devil’s Cave and is located at the summit of Mount Venus and would be nothing more than the eruptive mouth of the Vicano volcano that collapsing on itself formed the crater represented by the Cimini mountain ring and Mount Venus which would be the summit cone of the volcano To reach the Cave you have to cross the beech forest to the end following a path well marked by the Cai (50 minutes of medium difficulty) and once on site (at 851 meters high) the tempting Devil would like to let you in but we recommend you do so only if you have the proper preparation and the right safety tools The mouth of the Cave is 5 meters wide and inside there is a large space from which burrows and branches then develop In the territory of the municipality of Fabrica di Roma is the archaeological site of Falerii Novi There are several sights to see in this village starting with the Farnese Palace that dominates the town and the 40-meter tower and the two-meter-thick walls of the ’Rocca,’ Palazzo Cencelli the richly decorated Church of Santa Maria della Pietà built between the late 15th and 16th centuries Its history is closely linked to the Roman nobility and the history of the popes: their vicissitudes and transitions of power influenced the development of Fabrica Important people who passed through Fabrica include Julius II della Rovere (who during his pontificate often came to stay there to meet his cousin) Here we have evidence of the ancient Falasco people who to settle as ’deportees’ further on the plain: Falerii Novi There were fortifications of considerable importance such as a wall with a perimeter of 2 km and as many as 50 towers The city was accessed by nine gates among which the Jupiter Gate is of great interest: the head depicting the father of all gods in fact serves as a keystone and represents one of the earliest uses of the arch in Etruria The many artifacts found are preserved at the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome Also of great importance is the Romanesque church of Santa Maria di Falerii with five apses by three naves on the slopes of the mountains of the same name is today a village that has grown up around the castle built by Pope Nicholas III of the powerful Orsini family for use as a summer residence Dense and lush is in fact the surrounding vegetation and woods with chestnut trees in preponderance Developed in the Renaissance period with neighborhoods of great elegance and style it is worth visiting Palazzo Albani Chigi by architect Ottaviano Schiratti Nicholas of Bari built in the neoclassical style the Papacqua Fountain and the Tonda Fountain (or Old Fountain) built Prince Carlo Albani in the 18th century that is a copy of the more famous Pota Pia The Necropolis of San Giuliano is located in the Marturanum Regional Park along ancient Clodia stands on the flanks of a tuffaceous cliff occupied by a stable settlement as early as the Bronze Age and features an important variety of Etruscan tombs spanning five centuries and there is no other known Etruscan necropolis with such a wealth of variety: tumulus The tombs are mainly from the Archaic period but there are also from the Vll century B.C Among the most important are the Cuccumella del Caiolo the imposing Queen’s Tomb (5th century B.C.) in semidado with a monumental facade about 10 meters high

moved to New York in 2008 Theory Spring pre-collection 2018Originally from the Italian village of Santa Maria a Vico before going on to do apprenticeships in both Milan (under Lawrence Steele) and Paris (at Maison Hurel Maison Lesage and Maison Michel) before climbing the career ladder in New York We are dealing with a work intended to offer a faithful depiction of a passage from the autobiography of Teresa of Ávila which the saint composed between 1562 and 1565 Thus we read in the description of the ecstasy: “Veía un ángel cabe mí hacia el lado izquierdo en forma corporal el rostro tan encendido que parecía de los ángeles muy subidos [...] Veíale en las manos un dardo de oro largo y al fin de hierro me parecía tener un poco de fuego Éste me parecía meter por el corazón algunas veces y que me llegaba a las entreñas me parecía las llevaba consigo y me dejaba toda abrasada en amor grande de Dios que me hacía dar aquellos quejidos; y tan excesiva la suavidad que me pone este grandíssimo dolor aunque no deja de participar el cuerpo algo Es un requiebro tan suave que pasa entre el alma y Dios que suplico yo a su bondad lo dé a gustar a quien pensare que miento” (“I saw an angel near me such as I had never seen except in my visions his face was so lit up that he looked to me like one of the angels of the highest hosts [...] I could see in his hand a long golden dart and at the end of the iron there seemed to me to be some fire It seemed to me that with the dart he would pierce my heart a few times it almost seemed to me that he took them away with him and left me all burning with a great love for God The pain was so great that it made me utter a few moans but so great was the sweetness that this very strong pain gave me nor for my soul to be content with anything other than God although to some extent the body itself was a part of it It was such a sweet caress between the soul and God that I pray to His goodness that even those who think I lie may experience it.” It is entirely safe to assume that Teresa of Ávila’s autobiography was the first source from which Bernini drew for his own image: one would not otherwise explain the sculpture’s such close adherence to the text with which the artist was able to familiarize himself perhaps also thanks to the excerpts contained in the 1622 bull of canonization Bernini takes care to give shape to every single detail of the saint’s narrative: the angel arriving from the left The long golden dart pointed toward the heart Teresa’s face contracted into a grimace of pain which once enveloped the arrow (the one we see today is a later replacement) there are also those to whom the saint addresses her message And we are not just talking about us who observe and are called to be active participants in such a vision: at the sides of the main scene we notice in fact two foreshortened boxes in perspective from which some characters look out in curiosity and wonder They are members of the Cornaro family (or Corner in the Venetian way: they were in fact from Venice) from which came the commissioner of the sculptural group the juspatronage of the chapel of the left transept of Santa Maria della Vittoria it is entirely probable that the contacts between patron and artist dated back to months before that date not least because at the beginning of 1647 the work was already in progress of title to a chapel being granted while work was already in progress It would take five years to complete: 1652 is the year in which Bernini finished waiting on his masterpiece rather simple: his intention was in fact to celebrate the family supreme authority of the Venetian Republic from 1625 to 1629 while at the same time honoring the most important saint of the Carmelite order the same for which the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria was built The eight Cornaros are all portrayed in the boxes on either side of the main group: on the right while on the left we observeFederico senior All the figures face the balustrades of the boxes: behind them are splendid stucco architectures rendered in perspective Bernini obviously does not limit himself to a simple family portrait everything is functional in capturing the observer (but it would not be daring to use the term “spectator” as well) and consequently the portraits of the Cornaro family also participate in the grand theatrical scenography he devised for the Cornaro Chapel (it is no coincidence that many art historians have spoken of theatrum sacrum “sacred theater”): architecture sculpture and painting come together to guide the observer to contemplate the vision before him but also to lead him to reflect on the mystery of Saint Theresa’s ecstasy but a certain distance separates him from the sacred scene surprised and sometimes bewildered expressions are clearly meant to emphasize the impossibility to point out the differences between the two boxes which have suggested the extensive use of workshop aids carved from a single block of marble and showing different manners than the one on the left (the portrait of Federico appears to us more vividly than the others and probably the master himself took care of it) is to be assigned to Bernini with probable help from Jacopo Antonio Fancelli (Rome denotes the participation of a different and independent artist capable of “already giving a personal interpretation of Bernini vibrant and sentimental” (so Livia Carloni): this would be Antonio Raggi (Vico Morcote a Swiss sculptor from the Canton Ticino to whom some payments traceable to the Cornaro Chapel enterprise are documented the figures in the boxes lead us to the centerpiece of this sacred theater: the group representing the transverberation of St the vision of the angel piercing the saint’s heart with an arrow(transverberare Every detail is studied by Bernini in great detail: thearchitecture itself can be considered an integral part of the work To “frame” the sculptural group the artist designs a niche with a curvilinear framed by two pairs of columns and surmounted by a tympanum that is also curvilinear: an expedient to bring the work closer to the observer and to increase the theatricality of the whole Completing thatunity of the arts to which Baroque art often tended and which also often connoted Bernini’s machinations are the painted stucco clouds that decorate the ceiling of the Cornaro Chapel and were made by Guido Ubaldo Abbatini (Città di Castello who was also a collaborator at the time in other Bernini endeavors Abbatini’s clouds invade the entire upper space of the chapel going so far as to overflow beyond the limits imposed by the archway: in doing so the Umbrian fresco painter not only panders to Bernini’s desire to create a unique space in which but also anticipates what will be a typical trait of the great Baroque decoration and which will spread a few decades later From the clouds appear angelic hosts intent on observing the event we can observe the dove of the Holy Spirit the true metaphysical source that justifies the divine light that floods the scene And we are not just talking about the gilded bronze rays that Bernini inserts behind the figures of the angel and St Theresa flooding the niche with the divine presence that makes the miraculous ecstasy possible: considerable is the importance of natural light at the height of the tympanum: the natural light in this way rains down from above with which the light from the window blends and bringing out the folds of Saint Theresa’s robe shaken by the vision the angel’s smile well marked by the contrasts between the light and the penumbra the movement of the arms of the divine creature about to strike the saint’s heart with her dart surrenders herself to that “great sweetness” she had so ardently described in her autobiography “the figures of Teresa and the Angel truly appeared as a supernatural floating mysteriously in the void.” The mystery to which the scholar alludes is that of transverberation: so great as to move to amazement the very members of the Cornaro family who witness the event so distant from us that Bernini was forced to make certain solutions in order to make the observer understand that he was facing an event to which it is impossible to give a rational explanation The “floating” mentioned by the scholar is one such solution appear to us to be exceedingly light in their movement in mid-air (the group but is attached to the chapel wall from behind to give the illusion that the figures really hover in space) suspended on those little clouds that transport Saint Teresa into a spiritual dimension moving it in all directions and causing it to take on unnatural folds seems almost to nullify her bodily nature: under the thousands of folds of the ample habit we cannot distinguish Saint Teresa’s features beautiful hands and face crossed by this unspeakable feeling present themselves certain authors have tried to provide an interpretation of St Theresa’s ecstasy in an erotic key: an interpretation that is certainly suggestive and comforted by the subtle sensuality that the work can certainly inspire but which nonetheless ill suits the sources that speak of Bernini as a very religious artist and who we can imagine little inclined to provide representations of the saint that he might have considered blasphemous If we happened to read Bernini’s biography written by his son Domenico we would make the acquaintance of an artist accustomed to reciting the rosary and devoting himself to many other practices typical of the religiosity of the time the French collector appointed by Louis XIV to receive Bernini during his stay in Paris in 1665 who noted in his diary every time Bernini asked him to accompany him to Mass who informs us how the artist took communion twice a week and how he kept “a lively thought of death around which he did well often long conversations with Father Marchesi his nephew priest of the Congregation of the Oratory in the Chiesa Nuova.” Despite such portrayals who have tried to read Saint Theresa’s ecstasy in more “earthly” terms “Vous n’avez qu’aller regarder à Rome la statue du Bernin pour comprendre tout de suite qu’elle jouit ça ne fais pas doute” (“All you have to do is go to Rome and look at Bernini’s statue to understand at once that she is enjoying there is no doubt about it.”) The verb jouir used by Lacan (and which relates to his concept of jouissance has been interpreted by many in an erotic key be forced visions: a certain sensual charge was felt even by Bernini’s contemporaries An anonymous (and rather venomous) commentator that the artist “pulled that most pure Virgin on earth reports that the friar who accompanied him and his friends on their visit to Santa Maria della Vittoria confided to him that"it is a great pity [sic] que ces statues puissent présenter facilement l’idée d’un amour profane“ (”it is a great pity that these statues can easily inspire the idea of a profane love") without going into even a partial disanimate of those who have tried to give a carnal connotation to Bernini’s group scholars opposed to such a view have argued about the expression assumed by the face of St undoubtedly similar to that of any woman caught in full erotic ecstasy) arguing that Bernini would have done nothing more than stick to his main literary source: the saint’s autobiography has wanted to add at least a couple of other possible sources that alongside the description cited at the opening of this article may have inspired Bernini’s image: one is the Llama de amor viva by John of the Cross a Spanish Carmelite mystic who used the figure of the flame to symbolize the soul’s encounter with God (“Oh / que tiernamente hieres / de mi alma en el más profundo centro / rompe la tela deste dulce encuentro,” “O / that tenderly wound / of my soul the deepest center / break the veil of this sweet encounter”) The other source could be the Loda a santa Teresa by poet Antonio Bruni who included the long lyric in a collection published in 1633 and dedicated to Odoardo I Farnese In the poem we can read an extensive narrative of the encounter between St of which we quote the verses describing the moment when the angel pierces the saint with the dart: “Qui de la pungentissima saetta / de’ mortali invisibile a la luce; / nel grembo virginale il colpo affretta / de’ bei colpi d’Amor maestro e duce if the heart with golden arrow impairs her / La vergine ferita il cor ben sente / Stemprato in gioia e liquefatto in sangue; / ma con tenderi gemiti languente / mostra piagato il sen / Estasi amorosissima la mente / l’innebria e langue / Ma i suoi dolci languori hanno la palma / D’accrescer luce al seno That great love of which the poet speaks is the same love that God declares to the saint by means of the scroll carried by the two angels at the top of the chapel I would create it only for you”: truly strong words denoting a boundless love that transcends any dimension and reinforcing the message of one of the most celebrated wonderful and intense sculptures in all of art history used to say that Saint Theresa was “the least bad work” he had made The engineer behind the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge in Isabela refuted claims that a design flaw caused its collapse asserting that the structure adhered to the Bridge Code of the Philippines In Nico Waje’s Sunday report on 24 Oras Weekend engineer Alberto Cañete explained that of the bridge's 12 arches the truck successfully crossed nine before the collapse occurred on the tenth Kasi ang naputol sa tulay ay yung connection.” the bridge would have failed at the first arch Maybe there were issues with construction or installation because it was the connection that failed.) who authored the 1997 and 2015 versions of the Bridge Code noted that the bridge was initially designed under the 1997 code increasing the force requirements for bridge design The first eight arches were later retrofitted to meet these updated guidelines The collapsed bridge was designed to support more than the national 45,000-ton limit Cañete also said that the dump truck that triggered the collapse weighed 102 tons including its load—at three times the 13.5-ton axle load GMA Integrated News has reached out to the DPWH which previously stated the bridge was not substandard overloading is considered the primary cause of the collapse {{gallery.imageDetails.images.0.description}} Home » Uncategorized » The Path of Saint

points out that we are right below a carport — which happens to be carrying a Tesla I have to get my bearings; I had forgotten the open-plan kitchen living and study area was in the basement of this three-storey house triple-glazed doors that open out to the modest-sized Interior designer Lee Austin wanted to create a showhouse that had wide appeal and several buyers at Enderly have engaged his servicesJUSTIN FARRELLYThe house is one of six two-bedroom homes at Enderly where 12 houses have already gone sale agreed or been sold despite the fact that they never came on the market officially Looking at the latest developments around the country Cliffside terrace: The homes at Enderly are on an elevated site Gabrielle MonaghanFri 12 Jul 2019 at 03:30Dalkey has traditionally had a distinctive Italian flavour with coastal road names such as Vico Road and Sorrento Road affluent residents would go on a Grand Tour through France and Italy and noted a similarity between the bay here and the Bay of Naples This inspired them to give their Dalkey villas Italianate place-names So it's no surprise that the developer of Enderly in Dalkey paid homage to the cliffside terraces of Sorrento on the Almafi Coast when naming the house type for three homes built right into a granite cliff To maximise views across from this perch above Dublin Bay the layouts of the three-storey-over-basement Sorrento homes were flipped the kitchen/diner/lounge is on the top floor where it looks out on to Dalkey Island and across to Howth a new Sorrento showhouse spanning a whopping 3,776 sq ft is the last property to go on the market at the 18-unit scheme And the builders of No 17 have saved the priciest pad for last - the showhouse and its contents are selling for €2.6m The final property has high-end flourishes such as a basement cinema and an internal elevator between all floors Its facade is finished in St Ives Cream Rustica brick imported from Belgium and there is Moleanos limestone from Portugal to the surrounds of the triple-glazed alu-clad windows from Carlson The top-floor kitchen/diner has a set of sliding glass doors from its lounge area that leads to a rear south-facing garden; this tiered garden has its own fire pit - the garden feature du jour Another set of sliding doors opens from the kitchen which is fitted with Pedini units from Italy and integrated Siemens appliances on to a front terrace with glass balustrades and sea views Three double bedrooms - including one ensuite - and a family bathroom are located on the first floor The master bedroom has sea views and an anthracite-grey walk-through wardrobe that leads to a masculine uber-contemporary ensuite with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware Other interior touches include Lutron architectural lighting and in-ceiling speakers throughout the home the electric car charging point is capable of charging a vast array of e-car models while PV panels on the roof generate power The land on which Enderly sits is called after an old estate of the same name used in the making of Da - the film adaptation of Hugh Leonard's play about his father starring Martin Sheen - was renamed Santa Maria after it was bought by couturier Marjorie Boland after World War II a group of investors paid more than €20m for a site to the rear of Santa Maria but the property crash put paid to progress The elevated site was bought in 2011 by Twinlite and in 2015 the developer set about the painstaking process of excavating the land which sat atop a massive bed of silver granite During the largest rock excavation ever carried out for an Irish residential scheme enough granite to fill 116 double-decker buses was broken up and removed with the help of equipment specially imported from Japan The scheme was quietly released to the market in 2017 No 13 and 14 Enderly are still on the market No 13 measures 1,913 sq ft while No 14 is a tad larger at 1,974 sq ft about 400m from the
