So yesterday the test went well, and then Sahrish and I went to Giolitti, which is maybe the best gelato I've had. To illustrate, the nutella gelato I had is just cold nutella. We think. Today we took a trip to Sarco Bosco di Bomarzo and Villa Lante at Bagnaia. The first is the sacred forest of monsters, which was a Renaissance exploration of the grotesque and riddles.
Sphinx with (kind of) a riddle!
Pegasus, who is apparently on top of fountains often because he was so delighted that the 9 muses won a music competition that he stomped and opened some underground springs.
Turtle!
Whale
Leaning house.
greyhound puppy?
(starbucks) Siren with Cerberus (fluffy).
Bears!
Temple of Wisdom with Ricardo emerging
I was there!
Fresco map of the Lante residence. We walked around in their gardens...
Tiber
Renaissance people hadn't seen dolphins, but they often sculpted/painted them anyways.
This bus was able to fit through Italy's narrow streets and sharp turns. Knight Bus!
Italian countryside on the way back home.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Ellen.
ReplyDeleteI like the Knight Bus reference. Metro needs a few of those.

We miss you too Ellen! The escaped pit bull dog is still not found so I took Breeze for a walk around the Sylvester track. She loved being back on the track! Have you read the New Yorker article on learning to draw?
