'You may have the universe if I may have Italy.' Giuseppe Verdi
Italy has captured my soul. Each time I visit I fall in love just a little more. Each turn in the many narrow streets, becomes a painting of light and shadow, punctuated only by the exuberance of flowers. As the sun finds the buildings, shapes appear from the shadows creating a natural abstracts. It is almost impossible for the eyes to take in the depth and vastness of the many viewpoints and so they rest on small fragments always lingering to explore them in more detail.
'Italy was where the soul went to find calm and love, and I wanted to hold the best of it in the palm of my hand.' Lisa Brennan-Jobs
