View of Venice from the Calatrava, a bridge that makes you march to a different drum

I’m talking about the little Church of San Cristoforo, not San Michele in Isola, which was closed. As we get closer to All Saints & the bridge, it will be easier to get answers

You know, JJ, I’d never gone in there for years, so I don’t know. It seems like it is open every day, but no one seemed to be in charge. Maybe they were out on the grounds? There is very little info about it, so if you find any, please let me know.

Oh, I don’t think it’s sad. It’s just a blip on Venice’s radar. Besides, weddings are positive occasions, unlike, say, wars. We should wait & see what happens next.

The history of coffee culture in Italy ☕️ #InternationalCoffeeDay

The history of coffee culture in Italy

If there is one thing Italian coffee history proves, it is that coffee culture is Italian culture, it's a testament to the people coming together and enjoying life.

Addio, Renato Casaro, Treviso hometown boy, who died just shy of age 90. I was honored to meet him in 2021. You may not know his name, but you know his work: ‘Movies are my hobby. My hobby is my job. My job is my life & my life is a technicolor… film”-> www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop.
Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

Why they call Venice “La Serenissima.” The lovely view of San Vio from Palazzo Cini.

I’ve always thought there’s a bit of Casanova in all Venetian men…
“Casanova & Venice” at Palazzo Cini focuses on the 18th-century of Casanova with almost 100 works. From Sept 27 to March 2, 2026
“Il ridotto” by Pietro Longhi (1757-60) on loan from Fondazione Querini Stampalia

Feeling out of sync with time?
The moon offers a steadier rhythm — 13 cycles a year.

I wrote about living by the moon, why it matters, and even how it changes photography.
