2019 SUMMER MOODBOARD

Hello there friends! Are still in town dreaming for a long long vacation as I am? Here are some personal pics I have taken in Rome and during my last year trips on vacation. Rome isn't the perefect place to be, with 40° celsius outside, but Villa Borghese in the morning or late in the evening is a superchill place where you breathe fresh balmy air and fill your lungs with a good dose of oxygen. It's one of my favorite spots in Rome. 

Vacation is not a real one if you cannot spend some days by the sea. I have fallen for Vourvourou, in Chalkidiki. I have been to so many places in Greece but Vourvourou took my breath away. I have had such a great time there. And what about some sea rocks decoration? Last year in the Bari Vecchia area I happened to stumble upon a very tiny shop of ceramic decorations. All pieces were soooooo wonderful. And what about a Paris sunset or a drink outside hanging out with friends? The perfect quintessential spot for a drink, a beautiful nice corner in the center of Tirana. Have a wonderful week-end!

A beautiful corner in Rome - Dove andare a Roma

C'è un posto magico a Roma, il ristorante / café Canova Tadolini, un must per tutti coloro che vengono a Roma, ma anche per i Romani stessi. Quasi due secoli fa, il caffé era l'atelier di Antonio Canova che trascorse la maggior parte della sua vita a Roma, lasciando in eredità alla città una miriade di opere d'arte di incredibile bellezza. Tra le più note, la Paolina Borghese..... Ebbene sappiate, Canova lavorava proprio qui, insieme ad uno dei suoi allievi più fedeli e zelanti, Tadolini. A mio avviso, è uno dei posti più affascinanti della capitala. Fortunatamente è stato riqualificato dopo decenni di abbandono e si trova in via del Babuino, accanto alla statua del Babuino che dà il nome ad una delle vie più eleganti della città. Prendere anche solo un caffé al Canova Tadolini è un'esperienza memorabile, vi sembrerà di ritornare indietro nel tempo e di vivere la vita delle statue che vi guardano e sembra prendano il caffé insieme a voi. Intanto, vi lascio con queste belle immagini degli interni del caffé e vi auguro un bellissimo, rilassante fine settimana!

There is a magical place in Rome, it's a restaurant/café that almost two centuries ago was the atelier of one of the greatest Italian artists, Antonio Canova, a sculptor that spent most of his life in Rome and left the city and its galleries a myriad masterpieces renowned all over the world. The atelier where he worked with one of his trustful students that followed in his footsteps, Tadolini, has become one of the most fascinating cafés in Rome and fortunately reopened a few years ago after decades. It is in via del Babuino, just a few steps from the Babuino statue where during the Temporal power of the Popes unknown poets denounced injustices committed by the most prominent personalities of the city or real problems of the people of Rome. I love via del Babuino and I am in love with the Canova-Tadolini café, the ideal place for a tea in Rome. Here are some pictures! You sip your coffee in the middle of statues made by Canova and Tadolini themselves. Isn't it incredible and a little bit surreal? It seems that the statues are taking a coffee too. Have a look at the wonderful pictures and have a great week-end!
