The rolling hills of Val d'Orcia are a living Renaissance painting 🎨

This landscape was redesigned in the 14th century to reflect the "Sienese" ideal of harmony. Every row of cypress trees and golden curve was intentional, creating a vista so perfect that UNESCO protected the entire valley. It is one of the few places where man-made agriculture and nature exist in total, flawless balance 🌿

Today, at the @swheritage symposium at #UNESCO headquarters in #Paris, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the public unveiling of the initiative.

There are oh-so-many-things to talk about, but one of my favorites is the Source Code Exhibition, described here: https://www.sourcecode-exhibition.softwareheritage.org/

It is on display here at UNESCO today, but will also travel around other (physical) places in the future. Kudos to my colleague Mathilde Fichen and the other co-curators with her for this amazing work.

🇯🇴 The "Lost" City of Petra, Jordan. Carved into red desert sandstone cliffs in southern Jordan, #Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Shaped by wind and time, its rock-cut façades stand as a reminder that even great civilisations fade.

For centuries, Petra was lost to the outside world until Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt “rediscovered” it in 1812.

Fans of Indiana Jones will immediately recognise the second photo!🤠

It's time to share my visit to the magical place 'Machu Picchu' 🤍



Early in the morning, around 5:30 am, I boarded the bus that brought me (and all the other tourists) up the mountain to the entrance of Machu Picchu. I was so happy that the rain had stopped by the time we arrived. At 6 o'clock, the gate opened and I could enter the sacred place with the first group of visitors. The thick white clouds and fog were still hanging very low and covered the 'lost city of the Incas' entirely. After a while, the clouds and fog revealed the famous view. It was a truly magical moment! 🥰



I can't tell you a lot about the three hour visit. I can not really put it in words. I was just incredibly in awe and so so grateful to be there 💖



Here some facts:

The site was built in the 15th century, during the height of the Inca Empire, and is believed to have been constructed as a royal estate or religious retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti.

Machu Picchu was largely forgotten by the outside world until it was rediscovered in 1911 by the American historian and explorer Hiram Bingham, who brought the site to international attention. In 1983, Machu Picchu was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The site holds great spiritual and cultural significance for the Quechua people.

UNESCO: Schweizer Jodeln ist immaterielles Kulturerbe

Als "schreckliche Jubelschreie der Hirten" wurde es schon im 4. Jahrhundert erwähnt - nun hat die UNESCO das Schweizer Jodeln als immaterielles Kulturerbe anerkannt. Es sei eine Kulturpraxis, die "Einheit stifte", hieß es im Antrag.
