Culture
Rome’s Sky
My favourite thing about Rome are all the cathedrals and churches. And their beautiful interiors! The Byzantine wall ornaments showing the bible, Michael Angelo paintings, and the richness of Roman culture. It always make feel so fresh… My favourite place in Rome is the Church of Maria Traverse that has a beautiful wall on the top… And Vatican’s treasures are mind blowing…
And it’s again Dolce & Gabbana inspiration- Byzantine decorations or AW13!
Artichokes and Fruits in Rome
In the Jewish district of Rome that is know for the Jerusalem artichokes I tried this great speciality- I was shocked with it’s taste! The inside was really delicious and the outside was fried and oily. In the restaurant I ate these (sorry I don’t remember the name!) you could even see how Roman’s peel artichokes and beans. And what’s worth to mention is that the bulbs of these artichokes are as big as head!
And the real Dolce Vita food was at feet of Colosseum- the fruity market! For sure it was a inspiration for Dolce Gabbana this summer! The colour blast and fruits… So juicy they look!
From Rome With Love
I’m in Rome for a while and I have a real spring blast! Flowers, warm weather, art, beautiful architecture… So Dolce Vita! On the Spanish Stairs the flowers already bloomed. It’s so warm I just can’t describe it! On Via Condotti the Prada and Dolce Gabbana already have new fresh windows… It’s just amazing. And the buildings around… These religious details and paintings on the ancient walls of houses, fruits, greenery (this building that is whole in leafs is mind blowing!) and lots of orange around. My favourite colour!
Samaritaine
La Samaritaine (French pronunciation: [la samaʁitɛn]) was a large department store in Paris, France, located in the First Arrondissement. It is currently owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Henessy), a luxury-goods maker. The store, which had been operating at a loss since the 1970s, was finally closed in 2005 because the building did not meet safety codes. Plans for redeveloping the building involved lengthy complications, as the representatives of the store’s founders argued with new owners LVMH over the building’s future as a department store or a mixed-use development. Samaritaine is decorated in Art Nouveau style and is really beautiful!
