In 2010, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary, Cozette, a locomotive driver and Fagg, engaged in projects elsewhere, were asked to recreate the historic incident and posed in a much more comfortable setting.
What were they recreating?

The first version of this luxury concept is said to have been architected in the early 1600s at the Stag Fountain in the Palace of Versailles, overlooking a larger expanse.
A more modern version of this, as seen today, is said to have originated in Bali, Indonesia where the inspiration directly came from the dramatic effect created by the sawah - ubiquitous terraced paddy/rice fields.
What concept, much bandied about in traveler magazines?

The San(m)pietrini, literally little St. Peters, came into being on a dark night in 1585 when an ornate carriage carrying Pope Sixtus V almost met with an accident in St. Peter’s square, prompting the aggravated Pope to order the selciaroli, an ancient cutters’ guild to solve the problem.
Since then, they have been blamed for almost costing Dennis Menchov his 2009 Tour of Italy crown and polarizing a city’s population into supporters that consider them a part of local heritage, and detractors who have cited reasons ranging from public safety to inconvenience for fashion sensitive women.
What are the Sanpietrini and how are they (ironically) liable to damage the city’s local heritage?

Gilbert Stuart painfully created this work because the ‘muse’, having acquired a fresh pair of false teeth, was extremely restless and had to be calmed down by discussing horse racing, a favorite topic.
One of Stuart’s three famous works on the same subject, this 1796 creation gets it name from the suffix attached to the East Coast institution that first acquired it – the suffix from Greek means a place of intellectual pursuits.
Gilbert never finished this version intentionally, but the portrait went on to become more famous in other ways.
Whose portrait, which institution (including suffix) acquired this portrait and what is the painting’s claim to fame?
