I am so proud of my country this morning!
Leonardo on art:
“A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art does not” —Leonardo da Vinci
The many charms of Florence.
Ramblings through Florence.
Scudieri. A pastry shop with an incredible location!
Saint Patrick’s day is coming!
Florence shows it plans to celebrate that Irish holiday!
Laureare. To graduate university.
Laurearsi? Not sure. It’s something along these lines.
See the young woman with flowers in red paper in her arm?
She just graduated from university. How do I know?
Because she wears a “corona” or a circle of bay leaves on her head.
What a beautiful custom! I look forward to seeing more graduates around Florence over the coming months. I hope to have my camera ready sooner so I can get a front view!
Florence today
Next door to Art nouveau
Another piece of art nouveau, but I am afraid, as lovely as it is, it is overshadowed by its next door neighbor.
Still, this building is a knock out. I’ll go back for more photos soon.
Art nouveau in Florence
I stumbled upon an architectural gem today in Florence. A living, breathing piece of art nouveau, in situ, complete.
I honestly don’t think that I’ve ever seen art nouveau in any form in Florence. I’ve seen it in Lucca in the so-called “Liberty” style decorating some buildings.
I’ll be going back for more photos soon. Maybe when the sun is out??
