Learn about Arcadia...Since the poems of Virgil to the Renaissance masterpieces of Titian and the classical paintings of Poussin, Arcadia has been identified with the romantic idea of a paradise on earth. The notion that the pure, free, pastoral life, where the pleasures of love rival the beauty of the natural landscape, leading to more elevated spiritual quests and ultimately to union with the divine, is what constitutes the Arcadian ideal. Discovering "Arcadia"..." Maenalia is precipitous, and it is there where Arcas lies buried, after whom all have been named, where neither three nor four nor five roads cross". Pausanias, Travels in
“What is God, what is “no God” and what lies in between them?” wonders
Thus, the name The communion in the renewing process of death and rebirth.
"ET IN ARCADIA EGO..."

Arcadia has been identified with the idea of an earthly paradise since the beginning of human thought and through the ages.
There, somewhere between heaven and earth, in the always sacred mountains with the pure and chaste from skepticism shepherds; there, in the Pelasgic land of mythical ancestors, Virgil turns the idea into myth.
