Reflecting on home
Ah, cara figlia, you do me honor. And bring tears to my eyes. Your art is lovely - I've never seen it before, and your writing, as usual, is sensitive, honest, and beautiful. You will make a nest of comfort and beauty there, and Connecticut is always in your heart as well as here.

I can't seem to blow up the pictures. I'll keep trying. I am anxious to see your work in color. I'm much more used to seeing you work in very tight pencil sketches. But the Medusa and the Florentine print have me excited! More later. I have to comment to you personally too. Will do that on regular email. xoxoxo

art from an American in Florence
Hi, Cristi .... love reading your blog. I have just purchased (a very big gift to myself!) a painting by Eveyln McFarland (an American artist who lives in Florence with her husband, Hunter Eddy .... also an amazing artist). It's called "Boboli Gardens" and has a wonderful, spiritual, dark and mysterious feeling. Will take a photo of it and send it along to you.

l'uva di Rufina e quella di Firenze
Rileggendo i tuoi scritti e le tue esperienze devo riconoscere quanto sei cresciuta in Toscana. Credo che la Toscana con la sua Firenze sara' per sempre la tua vera patria. Firenze e' dove sei diventata italiana e donna. Firenze giustamente la capitale d'Italia del passato e' rimasta la capitale dell'arte e tu e l'arte sarete sempre unite. Pero' un giorno mi dovrai dire perche' l'arte per te non e' una ma cento, come l'uva non e' una ma una come grappolo e cento come chicchi d'uva. C'e' o non c'e' una specializzazione nell'arte?

Metaponto and etruscan relics!
Metaponto is famous for its Greek relics not etruscan!!! Etruscan remains are found in central Italy. Basilicata used to a Greek colony of the so-called Magna Grecia.

Carnevale ogni scherzo vale
How amazing that so many can afford to r ent these eighteenth century attires. But how enjoyable it must be to walk around in incognito and silence. Rare pictures.

Thank you
Thank you for maintaining this travel blog for everyone to read. Reading it has been an absolute pleasure and your words combined with your photos has painted an amazing picture of the world you're living in and what you're experiencing. I absolutely love the way you write. My aunt is also an artist and travelled to Italy earlier this year - she absolutely loved it. I wish you all the best with your artwork and hope that you have time to write more in your blog in the future. Kind Regards, Katei (Australia)

Kudos!
Have thoroughly enjoyed your blog and life experiences in Italy. My wife and I loved Rome, Florence, Venice in spite of the flooding, and tourist hordes (June 2002). Never enough time to experience the art in Italy. I empathize with your perfection concerning your art; My mother was an artist/writer, and never put pencil to paper, nor brush to canvas unless she was inspired by a subject...

signorina, ho letto gli ultimi tre scritti e mis ono piaciuti moltissimo. L'esperienza con la Questura e' sempre una cosa nuova come uno si muove da una citta' all'altra. Brava per aver aiutato le altre persone. Ma non essere sempre troppo generosa. Ti stai creando un avvenire inaspettato. Arrivederci.

Ciao!
Hello - I am a Chicagoan, and was in Florence this past weekend as well. I was delighted to see the Bersaglieri - what fun! The bands were so lively, and we had a great time watching them. :) - Barbara

psico-analisi
Mia cara signorina Cristina, lei sta dimostrando una grande capacità psico-narrativa e figurativa. Credo che quando le saranno date le possibilità lei assurgerà ad un alto livello creativo ed epifanico. Continui, la prego, sul formato che lei ha definito "mix mash of many inspiring symbols" e lo applichi alle esigenze psichico-fisiche della realtà sociale nella quale siamo tutti immersi. Il suo messaggio ancora un po' incerto diventerà un pubblico appello per un ritorno all'interiorità. Le faccio i miei complimenti e la prego di persistere. - Alberto Giacometti
