Site design and the “Pozzo di San Patrizio”

November 1st, 2005

The picture used at the top of the site is of the “Pozzo di San Patrizio”, or the Well of Saint Patrick, in Orvieto Italy. I took this photograph while on vacation.
The well is 62 meters deep and features a double helix staircase, so that mules could go down and carry water up simultaneously.
Somehow, a well with many windows and two paths seemed to make for a good theme for this site.
There will be two of us starting the commentary, so that fit the two paths.
And there are many windows, from the two paths, all looking at the same water. Pretty neat.

Some background on the actual well can be found here:

I want to thank Topi Ilmari Peltonen, because I based this site design on a theme he created, called “Neat!” You can find more about Topi here: www.aamukaste.org (Thanks Topi!)
