My Ciao Bella interview with JJ Martin, founder of La Double J
Posted on October 19, 2021

My Ciao Bella interview with JJ Martin, founder of La Double J

Buongiorno a tutti! Erica Firpo’s Ciao Bella has published my interview with JJ Martin. Yes, it’s true I rave about her and her brand often but I know first hand how difficult it is to be an entrepreneur in Italy. What JJ has created is incredible. It was truly a pleasure to sit down with … Continue reading My Ciao Bella interview with JJ Martin, founder of La Double J

Villa Necchi, A Must See/Do in Milan

Ciao from a rainy morning in Rome. I know I said I was going to write on this here blog more often but work this year has been very hectic. Perhaps things will slow down during Spring ’22! I’m not complaining as these are good problems to have, especially during these strange pandemic times. I … Continue reading Villa Necchi, A Must See/Do in Milan

The Most Beautiful Private Terrace in Rome *

Last week my friend Livia invited me to an intimate lunch at the lovely home of Marchesa Violante Guerrieri Gonzaga.   Violante is one of the most down to earth Marchese I’ve ever met.  Hello, I’ve met people who are Kings and Queens of nothing and yet, as the kids would say, they had a … Continue reading The Most Beautiful Private Terrace in Rome *

Marcello Mastroianni Exhibit at the Museo dell’Ara Pacis

Happy New(ish) Year! I’ve read it’s okay to say this until the end of the month.  I made it just under the wire.  I cannot believe February 1st is next week. I’ve been meaning to check out the new exhibit at the Ara Pacis since the day it opened.  It closes February 17th.  If you … Continue reading Marcello Mastroianni Exhibit at the Museo dell’Ara Pacis

Italian Chic – by Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla

I have written about Franco – Italian Chez Dédé before.  I heard about this incredibly talented and creative couple, Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla, from the late great Wonderfool.  My friend Courtney and I met the lovely Daria at the store/spa and wanted to buy all their bags. Daria and Andrea are quite modest.  I didn’t learn … Continue reading Italian Chic – by Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla

Palazzo Merulana, Rome

Palazzo Merulana, Rome

I noticed this large abandoned palazzo when I first moved to Rome.  I wondered what the history of the building was and why it was falling apart. I found out that it was a city owned property built in 1929.  It used to be the headquarters for the Health Administration.  Once those offices moved, the … Continue reading Palazzo Merulana, Rome

La Biennale Venice – 2018

My friend Erica invited me to join her on a press trip for the preview of the 16th Architecture Biennale.  I haven’t been to any of the Biennale.  I follow the art, cinema, and architecture ones on social media but it’s not the same. My first (and last) trip to Venice was twelve years ago, … Continue reading La Biennale Venice – 2018

The Design Files – Royal Wedding Dresses

You may have heard that there’s a royal wedding this weekend in the U.K. I’m very curious about Meghan’s wedding dress.  Her style is classic.  She wears the clothes, not the other way around.  Meghan’s not jumping on every random trend and clearly knows what works for her figure.  The only look I didn’t love … Continue reading The Design Files – Royal Wedding Dresses

Montepulciano – Under A Tuscan Sun

The other week, my friend Michelle and I decided to meet in Chiusi for lunch and then take the train to Montepulciano, a hill town in southern Tuscany near Siena. Michelle lives in Florence and Chiusi was the prefect half-way point.  However, once we were in Chiusi we saw the sporadic train schedule and noticed … Continue reading Montepulciano – Under A Tuscan Sun
