Palazzo Merulana, Rome
Posted on June 27, 2018June 27, 2018

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

Life in Rome – Centrale Montemartini Museum, an Ancient and Modern Mix

This museum is not in the Historic Center but located in the dynamic and funky Ostiense neighborhood.  It has been on my list for years and I finally visited it recently with my friend, Marta. We loved it. I saw a spread in American Vogue that had used the museum as a backdrop, so I … Continue reading Life in Rome – Centrale Montemartini Museum, an Ancient and Modern Mix

Design Inspiration – Darryl Carter’s Boutique, Washington, DC

Darryl Carter‘s boutique was on my list of must sees during my trip to Washington, DC last month. I’ve read about it and seen many photos of it.  Yet, I was not ready! Mr. Carter is one of my favorite interior designers. He usually works with neutral palettes and I love his modern take on … Continue reading Design Inspiration – Darryl Carter’s Boutique, Washington, DC

Life in Rome – The Artemisia Gentileschi Exhibit

Buon Anno! Man, am I happy to see 2017.  I’m really looking forward to this year, despite all the craziness in the world. I have no control over these many complicated political and social issues but I can control how I react to them. There’s a lot of ugliness and hatred in this world.  I’m … Continue reading Life in Rome – The Artemisia Gentileschi Exhibit

Life in Rome – Day Trip to Spoleto

Life in Rome – Day Trip to Spoleto

Ciao Bloggisti, Friends of mine recently bought a weekend place in Spoleto and invited me up for a day.  It’s about forty miles south east of Perugia. It was my first trip to Spoleto and I highly recommend a visit.  The Historic Center is very charming with incredible views.  I took a lot of photos.  … Continue reading Life in Rome – Day Trip to Spoleto

Life in Rome – Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Altemps
Posted on March 16, 2016April 30, 2016

Life in Rome – Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Altemps

For almost eight years I walked past Palazzo Altemps at least five times a week.  I’m not sure why I waited so long to finally check it out. One Friday, during lunch time, I basically had the place to myself.  True, it was the dead of winter but I was surprised. The Palazzo is very … Continue reading Life in Rome – Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Altemps
