Mondragone.

Mondragone is a municipality in the Province of Caserta in the region of Campania.
The first historical population of the area was the Aurunci. In 375, during the late Roman Empire, a village known as Petrinum was founded after an earthquake had destroyed the town of Sinuessa. In the Middle Ages, it was occupied by the Normans who built (or re-built) an important castle here.
Mondragone is very famous for the production of a cheese, mozzarella. It is also famous for the Falerno wine, the scrippella (a local sweet fried in olive oil, with a typical spiral form) and the Guappa (a liquor made with hoax's milk).
Mondragone is also a thermal and seaside town. If you came here, you can see and visit lots of monument like: Ducal Palace, la Rocca on Mount Petrino, Tarcagnota, Paladino's tower, the archaeological museum and the Roman ruins. You can see also lots of important churches: S.Anna a Monte's Church, Belvedere's Sanctuary, San Michele's Church, San Franceco's Church and others.

Selfies: a global phenomenon.

Selfie is an internet term for "self-portrait", used to describe self-taken digital photos.
It is unclear where the term "selfie" began, but we know that it was used on the social-networking site MySpace and it was submitted to Urban Dictionary in 2005.
The most common types are:


  • No makeup selfie: it is a selfie in which the subject is shown without wearing any cosmetics;



  • Selfies at funerals: it is a single topic blog that curates a series of selfies of people taken while attending a funeral service;






  • Belfies: Butt Selfie, or sometimes belfies, is a type of selfie in which the photographer takes self-portraits of their backside.


















  • The pet selfie: a selfie taken with a pet.



















  • The car selfie: a selfie taken in the car. 







  • The duck faces selfies: I think that it doesn't make people prettier. It makes people look stupid and desperate.
