After waiting for months to get in, I went on a tour of the villa and gardens at i Tatti today. It was well worth the wait! My, what a garden.
I’ll post 2 separate posts on the Villa. Today is the garden:

No hunting!
Divieto di caccia! Private property just outside Florence.
Settignano, fuori firenze
A few notable figures from the humanities have lived around here. Just check out the names on the plaque:
This is window film on a window, not a view of the lungarno! I want it!
The mighty girls.
I like this picture a lot.
And here are some words I like a lot:
This post is in celebration of all the mighty girls, everywhere, and at all times. The girls who won’t take no for an answer. Who don’t know/won’t accept that they shouldn’t expect everything anyone else expects.
My expanding terrazzo giardino
Firenze, quel cielo sempre più blu
Egyptian obelisk in Boboli Gardens. Supported by turtles.
Boboli Garden tour, ieri.
Cosimo I was a Capricorn. And he liked to use the imagery of the sign’s symbol, the goat, in his grand architectural compositions. In the Boboli Gardens, his goat symbols serve as the decorative animals on gateways to the island within the gardens. Very amusing and attractive.
Pontormo in Florence
The Pontormo at Santa Felicita is supposed to be revealed this fall, after its current cleaning. I stopped by yesterday to check on it, and this is what I saw!
Soon all will be revealed! Cannot wait!
get back, lauretta!
