Sinossi

St Gall cathedral was built in 1755–1770 as the church of the Benedictine monastery, which was dissolved in 1805. In the Middle Ages this church, erected on the site of the hermitage of St Gallus, was one of the most important monasteries in the western world. Today the Abbey Archive and Abbey Library still possess invaluable documentary evidence from that era. The Baroque monastery complex testifies to the flourishing of the prince-abbey in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church, like the adjacent abbey library, built after the plans of Peter Thumb and decorated by the best South German artists of the day, forms the monumental conclusion of a long series of Baroque abbey churches realised by Vorarlberg master builders. St Gall’s abbey district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the collections of the Abbey Library and Archive are included in the UNESCO World Documentary Heritage List.

    THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Royal Tenenbaums is a quirky comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, centered around the dysfunctional Tenenbaum family. The film follows the lives of three gifted siblings—Chas, Margot, and Richie—who experience early success but later face personal struggles and failure. Their eccentric father, Royal, returns to their lives, claiming he has a terminal illness, and attempts to reconcile with his children and ex-wife. The film explores themes of family dysfunction, lost potential, and redemption, with Anderson’s signature use of dry humor, visual symmetry, and an eclectic soundtrack, creating a deeply emotional yet whimsical narrative. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The hand shown with a BB lodged between its knuckles does not belong to Ben Stiller, but rather to Andrew Wilson, Owen and Luke Wilson's brother. When they were children, Owen shot a BB gun at Andrew's hand, and the BB remained there ever since.” 
      
    “The original hawk that played Mordecai was kidnapped during production and held for ransom. Due to time constraints, the production used a different bird with more white feathers as a replacement.” 
      
    “Gene Hackman revealed in interviews that he hesitated to take the role because he felt he had been insensitive to his own family at times. He asked them whether they would feel uncomfortable with him playing the character. They encouraged him to accept the role.”

    For more than a millennium, from its creation in 330 A.D. until its fall in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was a cradle of artistic effervescence that we are only beginning to rediscover. Endowed with the rich heritage of Roman, Eastern and Christian cultures, Byzantine artists developed an architectural and pictorial tradition, marked by symbolism, whose influence extended far beyond the borders of the Empire. Today, Italy, Northern Africa, and the Near East preserve the vestiges of this sophisticated artistic tradition, with all of its mystical and luminous beauty. The magnificence of the palaces, churches, paintings, enamels, ceramics and mosaics from this civilisation guarantees Byzantine art's powerful influence and timelessness.

    Despite the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career—even in the face of deafness—Beethoven remained remarkably consistent in his most basic convictions about his art. This inner consistency, writes the music historian Mark Evan Bonds, provides the key to understanding the composer's life and works. Beethoven approached music as he approached life, weighing whatever occupied him from a variety of perspectives: a melodic idea, a musical genre, a word or phrase, a friend, a lover, a patron, money, politics, religion. His ability to unlock so many possibilities from each helps explain the emotional breadth and richness of his output as a whole, from the heaven-storming Ninth Symphony to the eccentric Eighth, and from the arcane Great Fugue to the crowd-pleasing Wellington's Victory. Beethoven's works, Bonds argues, are a series of variations on his life. The iconic scowl so familiar from later images of the composer is but one of many attitudes he could assume and project through his music. The supposedly characteristic furrowed brow and frown, moreover, came only after his time. Discarding tired myths about the composer, Bonds proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven by hearing his music as an expression of his entire self, not just his scowling self.

    The story of Harry Houdini begins far from the glamour of theater stages and the awe-inspiring feats of magic that would later define his life. Born as Erik Weisz on March 24, 1874, in Budapest, Hungary, he was the fourth of seven children in a Jewish family facing the challenges of poverty. When Erik was four, his family emigrated to the United States, settling first in Appleton, Wisconsin. His father, Mayer Samuel Weisz, served as a rabbi, but his inability to sustain steady work placed the family in a constant struggle for survival. 
    Young Erik exhibited an early fascination with performing, often entertaining his siblings and friends with acrobatics, mimicry, and sleight of hand. Despite their financial hardships, his parents encouraged his creative pursuits, instilling in him a strong sense of discipline and perseverance. These qualities would prove instrumental in shaping his future. 
    In 1887, when Erik was just 13 years old, his father passed away, leaving the family in an even more precarious position. To support his mother and siblings, Erik took on various odd jobs, including working as a shoe polisher and messenger. Despite his responsibilities, he found time to nurture his growing interest in magic and illusion, which he discovered through books and local performers.
