This is the end of my personal writing challenge. Maybe these 12 posts are not very profound, but they help me deal with that “bad sense of perfection,” the feeling who stop you from doing something because it would never be good enough. Well, sometimes the real winning is to do things even if the […]
For a few years now, we’ve enjoyed going to the sea at the end of the season, late October, early November. We’ve been to France, Liguria, Puglia—all splendid places—but it’s Sardinia that has enchanted us. So this year, we returned to Sardinia. We flew to Alghero and spent four days enjoying the sea, nature, history, […]
Some posts ago I’ve wrote about Nicolis Museum of Villafranca di Verona and I mentioned “Viaggio nel Tempo” an event that take place in September at the Sigurtà Garden Park. We weren’t able to attend this year, but last year we had a blast. The park is huge and truly beautiful and well-maintained (you can rent […]
This year, Genoa hosted the 13th edition of Euroflora, the flower show founded in 1966 and held every five years. I had fond memories of it, so I asked my mom if she wanted to go, and we got tickets. I don’t want to get into the details; I imagine some people enjoyed this edition […]
Today it goes like this, 2 posts, 2 trips, 2 historic vehicles… First with the “Giulia” in Slovenia and now with our 1947 “Guzzi” in Switzerland. If you want to take a motorcycle ride and enjoy the scenery, try the Swiss roads. We did part of the Grand Tour of the Alpine passes. Breathtaking. We […]
This year we organized our first classic car trip. It was a short trip, just a couple of days, and not too far away, in Slovenia, with the excuse of visiting the “Grom” vintage motorcycle museum. We were in the good company of seven other crews, all aboard their historic cars, some more modern than […]
Last year I told you about Belle Èpoque, the vintage car and motorcycle gathering we organize on Lake Como, and then, some time later, I wrote about how struck I was by the beauty of the historic part of Mandello del Lario. +++ Ogni tanto mi dimentico di ricordarlo ma che la versione in Italiano […]
I told you that “grandma’s house” would be a recurring theme in the posts, but I didn’t imagine it would be so soon. Among the various things that emerged from the closets, still in their original box, I found this white linen double-size sheet. A gorgeous linen, or at least, the linen I immediately loved. […]
I’ve been fascinated by this gathering for years. Historic villas, stunning vehicles… I was afraid it would be a bit overwhelming, but instead… this is the second year in a row, and we’ve found wonderful people as well as splendid vehicles. Reuniting with those who had attended our gathering on the lake in June and […]
For a few months now, we’ve been clearing out my grandmother’s house. The house has been empty for years, but we hadn’t felt the need or desire to clear out the closets. It’s thanks to my grandmother that I started sewing; she owned the first machine I ever threaded and used, and hers were the […]
