The marble mountains of Carrara

November 4, 2017October 24, 2017 / get back, laurettadimmick / Leave a comment

All the marble from the Italian Renaissance came from these mountains in Carrara.  I had a fly-by view of them from the train last summer.  I plan to visit Carrara again soon.

A Roman-era dining room

November 2, 2017October 24, 2017 / get back, laurettadimmick / Leave a comment

A museum I visited in Arezzo this fall has a very interesting installation recreating a Roman era dining room.  I love these reinterpretations of kitchens and dining rooms.

Don’t forget that the Romans dined while reclining on their sides!  Very uncomfortable to me!

Be careful who you make memories with. Those things can last a lifetime.
