Lago di Bracciano’s Calm Presence

March 30, 2012 by Astrid J. Leave a Comment

To best enjoy Bracciano lake (Lago di Bracciano, in Italian), visit the lakeside town of Trevignano Romano, just 1 hour North of Rome, Italy. I love my walks along the recently upgraded and beautifully refined waterside at Trevignano, where gigantic pine trees filter the sun above your head as you stroll along. Under the trees are park-like patches with flower beds and benches, alongside the path of beautiful pavers keeping you right along the water’s edge. The views of Lago di … [Read more...]

Bernini in the Vatican

March 12, 2012 by Astrid J. Leave a Comment

Bernini's art can be found all over Rome, with some of his most spectacular work in the heart of the city, that is, the Vatican City. Every Sunday the pope addresses the crowd on his St. Peter’s Square. The crowd sees him as a tiny speck in a window way up high above a monumental piece of Bernini’s art: the square flanking St. Peter's colonnade. The crowd even stands on Bernini’s art. Being both an architect and a sculpture, Bernini designed the entire Piazza di San Pietro.   … [Read more...]

Orvieto, Italy

January 3, 2012 by Astrid J. Leave a Comment

Orvieto in Umbria is one of those Italian dream cities. It's located on a large volcanic flat, high up in the air. City walls on the edge of the flat hold together a maze of small old city streets. Orvieto's ancient Etruscan origins are everywhere, mostly underground, and subtly on the surface. In contrast, its magnificent Roman Catholic Duomo cathedral, built in the 14th century, is its most visible treasure.   The cathedral’s golden façade gleams in the sun, year-round, and … [Read more...]
