When in Rome

...be sure to prepare your senses for all sorts of greatness and craziness! Some people don't like it, but I've been in love with this magnificent city since 2005. I must admit I envy all the people who have the privilege to live and work in Rome, although I know it can be quite hectic sometimes... Baci!

Artisan bread

My very first loaf of homemade bread. I think this Italian countryside is slowly taking over my *ahem* urbanity... Happy first day of summer!
Ingredients: white flour, ground brown wheat, yeast, sugar, water, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander seeds and herbes de Provence.

The horse whisperer wannabe

Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to spend the morning on a horse ranch which made me really happy because a) I looove horses (my family had a few when I was a kid) and b) doing a photo shoot with horses has been on my wish list for a while. Hope you'll enjoy the photos. Ciao!

The Invisible Cities

Last night we went to festa in Forano (Lazio, Italy) and had an evening to remember! It was the first edition of FestiValle - new event with the goal of encouraging intercultural dialogue between local communities and the foreigners who live there. The main part of the festa was Città Invisibili, an interdisciplinary and multimedia art project by Teatro Potlach based on the eponymous novel by Italo Calvino. They created this labyrinth route with different points of interest which made the whole village look surreal. It was really amazing to see people from all over the world mingling and having fun in this small Italian village. After the official part of the event we all had dinner under the open sky. It seems like summer has arrived.

Clever Danish design

While browsing through my regular online inspiration I discovered Flip Around Table - an incredibly smart multifunctional design product by Norm Architects for Menu. Flip Around Table easily transforms from side table to stool or tray when you remove the tabletop and turn it upside down.  This is definitely something I could find place in my home. The only thing I can't decide is which version I like better - black or white.
