On the way to Rome

 

 

Florence (with my mother), Turin (with Joseph), Venice (with Inga and Valentinas), Bergamo (with Sara and Valentina), Lago d’Orta (with Elsa and Nicoletta),
Rome …

 

This has been all important visits to Italy for me and it will be my first to Rome. My impression is that I am climbing a mountain to find proximity with the ardent expression of the inseparable weave of art and life in Italian culture. The two weeks in April should serve me to build a first contact with the capital city.
