The new mosque in Moscow
ENG
In my every trip, when I can, I always go to visit the main mosque in the city where I am.
I don't have a particular religious faith but I find mosques very fascinating and rich in mysticism, they give me a strong feeling of peace and tranquility and architecturally they meet my perspective vision.

In ogni mio viaggio, quando posso, vado sempre a visitare la principale moschea della città in cui mi trovo.
Non ho una particolare fede religiosa ma trovo le moschee molto affascinanti e ricche di misticismo, mi provocano una forte sensazione di pace e tranquillità e architettonicamente incontrano la mia visione prospettica.

The Moscow mosque is gigantic and I am not exaggerating, it is located in the northern part of the Russian capital, the construction work began in 2005 on the ashes of the old mosque, now ruined.
To make you understand how big it is I tell you that the structure has 3 floors of worship, contains a museum, a conference room and can hold more than 10,000 faithful.
The new Mosque occupies 19,000 square meters, from the outside you can immediately see its huge golden dome that soars majestically in the sky and its minarets.
It was built with white and green granite and Turkish marble.
At first glance it may seem modern, very far from the classical Muslim buildings but the sensations are always linked to the cultural aspect of Islam.

La moschea di Mosca è mastodontica e non esagero, sorge nella zona nord della capitale russa, i lavori di costruzione cominciarono nel 2005 sulle ceneri della vecchia moschea, ormai rovinata.
Per farvi capire quanto è grande vi dico che la struttura ha 3 piani di culto, contiene un museo, una sala conferenze e può contenere più di 10000 fedeli.
La nuova Moschea occupa 19000 metri quadrati, dall’esterno si può notare subito la sua enorme cupola dorata che svetta maestosa nel cielo e i suoi minareti.
E’ stata costruita con granito bianco e verde e marmo turco.
A prima vista può sembrare moderna, lontanissima dalle classiche costruzioni musulmane ma le sensazioni sono sempre legate all’aspetto culturale dell’Islam.

My visit to this mosque was a bit difficult, as soon as I arrived and after having passed the security checks, both my wife and I were a bit lost, there were no signs in English, nothing to show us where go, we also asked the information center but they didn't speak English and so we started to follow people.
Finally we find the entrance but it was divided, on one side men and on one side women, we divide, we remove the shoes and we enter.

La mia visita a questa moschea è stata un po’ difficile, appena arrivato e dopo aver passato i controlli di sicurezza, sia io che mia moglie siamo rimasti un po’ spaesati, non c’erano indicazioni in inglese, nulla che ci facesse capire dove andare, abbiamo chiesto anche al centro informazioni ma non parlavano inglese e allora abbiamo iniziato a seguire la gente.
Finalmente troviamo l’ingresso ma era diviso, da una parte uomini e da una parte donne, ci dividiamo, togliamo le scarpe ed entriamo.
ENG
I was able to turn in the first floor, an enormous space where there were 5 faithful who prayed, my head was always turned upwards to admire the splendid chandelier and the inlays on the walls and columns, balconies that embraced the whole room and a light coming from an opening in the ceiling that made everything fairy-tale.
An ingenious set of perspectives called my attention to every detail.
From the balconies it was all the more fascinating, I managed to take some pictures asking for permission, or rather, I tried to make myself understood and it went well.
ITA
Ho potuto girare nel primo piano, uno spazio enorme dove c’erano 5 fedeli che pregavano, avevo la testa sempre rivolta verso l’alto per ammirare lo splendido lampadario e gli intarsi sulle pareti e le colonne, balconate che abbracciavano tutta la sala e una luce proveniente da un’apertura sul soffitto che rendeva tutto fiabesco.
Un ingegnoso insieme di prospettive richiamava la mia attenzione su ogni particolare.
Dai balconi era ancora tutto più affascinante, sono riuscito a scattare qualche foto chiedendo il permesso, o meglio, ho cercato di farmi capire ed è andata bene.
