O.M.G – What IS This Place?
Have been in a Virgo Moon frenzy trying to figure out the location of this fashion shoot. The magazine online has NO info – anyone know?
Okay, yes, yes male model & check out the very now Slytherin sock monitor sort of a look BUT note the astrological frieze up there. Dude is standing beneath Scorpio, obviously and next is Saggo. And the map? Is this my castle from a past life?
Virgo librarians, scholarly peeps, well-travelled Saggos, general know-it-alls – thoughts?
Looks like a church, in Sweden there are a few churches with astrological artwork and themes. But I could be wrong.
Looks like Italy. Map in Latin, of Italy. Italian designers.
Also, I’m pretty sure it says, ‘Italia’ underneath his head.
I’m putting my money on a chapel somewhere in venice!
I agree, Italy. Maybe a palazzo? That’s a fancy name for a big house many of which are now museums and art galleries.
Agree – somewhere in Italy, but that doesn’t help the exact location!
Italy @ 15th century building – Latin experts where are you? Can only read sea (Mare) and virtue or greatest virtue (bottom right). Too tired to google it. Gorgeous model….
Map is def Italy but location could be Portugal??? I wish I didn’t read this as I was going to bed for an early night – Virgo Moon trans my Virgo Uranus/Merc/Pluto atm, thank you very much
I’m going to take a stab in the dark and guess that it’s a Freemason lodge somewhere. Some grand Masonic hall. Very Essential Homme.
Good call! Yes, it kind of reminds me of what I imagine the interior of the infamous San Francisco Bohemian Club to look like.
Just emailed the photographer – THIS IS MARS IN VIRGO WITH THE MOON ON IT PEOPLE
Thank God because I have been googling loggias, frescoes, scorpions etc. while in front of the box for an hour and half and found nothing!
Way to go, I was just thinking about that. Sweetest, simplest, shortest route to the answer… Ask! LOL
Unless it’s someone’s private residence (whoa) the photog should be able to tell you where it is!
Wish there were more photos of the other signs though. Early depictions of the astrological signs from the Middle Ages, what’s not to love?
And possibly also my mercury in aries lol
Could be 15th century or earlier, and not necessarily Italy.
Rib vault (the ceiling) is supposed to be Gothic architecture (circa 12th c.) but Gothic tympanums (the semi-circular panel on which Scorpio and Saggi are depicted) are supposed to be more vertical, as compared to Romanesque (circa 6th to 10th c.) which are more semi-circular (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanum_(architecture))
“Ancestors of the Gothic rib vault in the Romanesque vaults can be found at Caen and Durham, both sites of early Gothic constructions, and elsewhere.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rib_vault
So could be France or England too?
Hey this lovely guy just put this on facebook as a comment – it’s 1.28am where i am so going to sleep (boxing first thing) but check this out –

It absolutely gorgeous! I love this photo.
What a find! You must be simply busting to go there and research visually this treasure uncovered……. Oh, to be able to fully recover past lives. All very exciting, maybe even a new direction….and the hydra for me makes sense of the logo for Leo….lovely!
Wow, I googled Padua and got this article…could it be the Scrovegni Chapel? The city is seems very Scorpionic and is a commune also, to top it all off! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padua
I bet that chuch has seen its share of ritual sacrifices…..what a foreboding town!
Sun-Sag, Moon-Cappy, Venus-Scorp, Mars Uranus Pluto conj. Virgo, and yeah…Aries rising
…chop the ‘is’ :/
and venus-conjunct neptune
I’m a new addition to MM’s site and your amazing group
I am adding that to my long list of places I must see!
That reminds me of this zodiac clock . . . did I see this here on this blog originally? It’s in Prague.

It’s beautiful up close and personal too. Prague is such a magical city.
Thorben, the model, is a scorp, found that on fan blog heh.
Awesome! The Temple of Astrology! Does that make it a bona fide religion?

Another bit
My guess would be the Vatican.
The fabuloso photographer Giovanni Squattri just msgd me on FB and said it is a private home in Milano!
If you want to know which one, you’ll have to hire me ;P
You can find some interesting points in time in this post but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is certainly some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Excellent article , thanks and we want additional! Added to FeedBurner also
