#Byron and #Goethe in the Borghese gardens #Rome. They're both in our forthcoming Book Lover's Guide to Rome. They respected each other's writing and Goethe even thought The Vampyre Byron's best work to date! It was, of course, by #Polidori.

Inspired by Caspar David Friedrich, we went in search of a Sicilian landscape artist who could capture the southern light and found the 'Sun Thief'. Our piece for Times of Sicily. #FrancesoLojacono #Sicily #Palermo www.timesofsicily.com/the-sun-thie...

Visited the Ponte Gobbo in #Bobbio as part of research for updating Bradt Guide to #EmiliaRomagna. Just read about theory that the bridge features in the background of #DaVinci #MonaLisa #LaGioconda - over her right shoulder - interesting!!
