About to see Vivaldi (a Venetian) performed in Venice in period costume. We just walked past this and violà bought tickets. What an amazing place.

Saturday night at The Doge’s House.

Michaelangelo I hung this print for years before leaving home. I knew it was Michaelangelo; and then later studied Heraclitus (whom the figure portrays); but only today I learned he was a last minute addition. Raphael was so moved by what was next door he added his colleague as a necessity.

Just another day in Milan; looking gorgeous while out on a pandemic bike ride. Wish I could be there.

Sure was hot in Manhattan today.

While slow to get going, and largely copping from “The Little Mermaid” in the first act, “Luca” finds its footing about twenty minutes in and becomes a wholly-independent story about the friendship of boys, the beauty of Northern Italy, and the warmth of family.
