Denim playsuit

During summer a playsuit is good alternative to minidress and this one from APC is simply the best. I actually purchased it second hand in Paris and I have worn it all through the past month as it is so comfy, versatile and chic. In this pictures I am in Volterra, one of the most important Etruscan cities, located in the centre of Tuscany, on top of a naturally defended and protected high promontory. It’s a really charm town and I like strolling on the streets of the historic centre and around the archeological roman remains.

Pietrasanta

This morning I have been in Pietrasanta, an historic town with notable monuments mainly contained in the magnificent Piazza del Duomo and also important centre for the artistic working of marble. It has always been an important cultural centre in Versilia. The important artisan tradition has been kept alive by the local workshops and atelier, by the firms specialized in the artistic-mosaic sector and by many artistic-foundries so for its love of art and beauty in Pietrasanta you can "breath" art at each corner. I wore a crochet dress from Isabel Marant from several years ago but that still works perfectly. I really like the weaving of the fabric, the cut and the way it suits me.

Soak up the sun

My summer holidays have finally started: I graduated the last week at Polytechnic of Turin in architecture with a thesis on Guimard, the result of my studies made in Paris some months ago. Now I am able to spend my days on the beach under the sun in Versilia and to go to New York in august. These pictures are from some days ago when I was in Viareggio, enjoying the beginning of my holidays with ice-creams, sun and lightheartedness, surrounded by liberty architecture.

Giardino di Boboli

This morning I was at the Boboli garden, one of the greatest open-air museums in Florence that embraces the Pitti Palace. The garden reached its current extension and appearance, becoming one of the largest and most elegant Italian style gardens, through several stages of enlargement and restructuring work carried out at diffrent times. The first works initially affected the area that was closer to the palace, after the buildung had been purchased by Cosimo I de´ Medici and by his wife Eleonora di Toledo, who had chosen this place for new grand ducal palace. The initial plan was drawn by Niccolò Tribolo, although the works were completed, after his death in 1550 by other architects including also Giorgio Vasari (from 1598 to 1561) along with Bartolomeo Ammannati and Bernardo Buontalenti under the reign of Francis I, who succeeded to his father Cosimo. The Medici and the Lorraine families continued to enrich and enlarge the garden also in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Besides adding lovely meadows, avenues, small groves and beautiful panoramic views, they made the garden more precious by including extraordinary decorative complexes, thus forming an outdoor museum that exhibited both Roman and 16th and 17th century statues. I enjoy wandering around the garden and getting lost in its beauty.
