Number 1 on the Grand Canal: You are There


Or at least you are at least as much there--if not more--than I am right now; as I'm currently in Siracusa. A beautiful city is Siracusa, but as this is a Venice blog I can now share the sensation of missing La Serenissima along with absent others. By the time I return in a little less than a week the wisteria (festoning the terazzo of the Wake Forest University palazzo beside the Guggenheim above) will be blown...

    1. Grazie mille, Chiara.

      Vorrei scrivere un articolo su Sardegna tanto--ma, prima, devo vistarla! Magari...

  2. Will your tenure in Venice end before the next blooming of the wisteria? Your post has a sense of loss.

    1. No, Anonymous, we don't have any plans to leave Venice, though you're right in your sensitive reading of tone. Probably the after-effects of too much reading of John Keats... And more particularly of the sense I get from the wisteria here that it's always on the verge of blooming even more completely, only to find instead that it's done and withering.
