Renaissance Island

 by Baroness Anne de Darcy (Amza Hydraconis)

When Renaissance Island was created back in the beginning of the year 2007, no one had any idea how long it would last.  Now in our 11th year, Renaissance Island has gone through quite a few changes as SL grew and improved.  Created by librarians, Renaissance Island is akin to a classroom sim open to scholars of the Renaissance and/or Tudor period.

Most recent changes made were to make it more authentic in how a small English village looked. (Although, an explanation is needed as to why the Globe Theatre is in a small English village.) 

There are currently 3 exhibits:  printing, weaving and a bakery.  More exhibits are being planned as of this writing.  

The below SLURL will drop you in front of the Boar's Head Inn where storytelling and music occurs.  Please feel free to explore the region at your leisure.

Rocca Sorrentina- 18th century fictional Italy

Rocca Sorrentina is a project of Brown University, featuring a representation of a fictitious but historically-plausible 18th century island community, located in the Bay of Naples, off the coast of the Sorrento region in southern Italy.   We are seeking to interpret and better understand various aspects of the Enlightenment and the era of the "Grand Tour" as they were manifested in Italy in the latter part of the 1700's.

There are three general areas of interest in the two regions:

1. THE OOC ENTRY PLATFORM AND EXHIBIT HALLS (Rocca Sorrentina)

Second Life: Rocca Sorrentina (85,175,2801)

The Entry Platform contains 

    •  An Orientation area with free 18th century clothing

    •  the Showcase Gallery, which mounts regular shows of paintings, photographs and other artistic creations by residents and other Second Life artists.  

    *  Two exhibit halls which contain informative displays and museum-quality exhibits highlighting important aspects of 18th century history, literature, culture, and ideas.   

2. ISLAND-LEVEL AREAS (Rocca Sorrentina)
