[arrivederci, italia.]


finally home from italy.

we went from vatican city, pictured above, to downtown florence, chianti, then venice. rome was magnificence in absolution--an entire city in accordance with a passionate frequency. florence was the source of the most artistic inspiration for me--a place whose charm rested comfortable in subtlety rather than spectacle...and, of course, her hilltop tuscan vistas. venice was fully unique, providing us with several fresh horizons.

of the three, i cannot decide which i prefer. italy proved to be as various as it was beautiful. despite its age and repertoire of established trades, it was fresh to the core. new in an elevated way, above the realm of time.

having read three books this summer, i'm going to endeavor to transcribe all of my favorite quotes from each into separate blog posts. my hope is that you'll get some of what i did from each word.

with love,
your favorite fish
