VOLLEYBALL ART

 

In this space I want to present some WORKS OF ART depicting our favourite sport.

 


GIRLS WITH BIKINI
(detail)
 

Piazza Armerina is an Italian town in the province of Enna of the autonomous island region of Sicily. The city was flourishing during Roman times, as shown by the notable examples of the patrician Villa Romana del Casale. It is the richest, largest and most complex collection of late Roman mosaics in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You can find more information under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Romana_del_Casale and http://win.villaromanadelcasale.it/inglese/index.htm

One of the most famous mosaics is the one showing girls wearing bikinis. Although they do not actually play Volleyball, it is a nice addition to this small collection of Volleyball art.
