The Villa Il Silviatino, in Fiesole, where we stayed the last two nights. Very homelike, lovely and low key. #ilsalviatino #fiesole

Have discovered the amazing #pleinair work of English Italian painter Lewelyn Lloyd. Just stumbled on exhibit in #barbinigardens in #florence. Oh my a new favorite I never heard of! #lewelynllyod novecento #barbinigardens #villabardini

A trick with a truffle. The hunter places the truffle on “Ufo’s” nose and he flips and catches it – is the idea anyway. I think this one hit the ground and then he caught it. ☺️ #whateverworks #trufflehunting #tuscany

Finding a truffle!

Setting off on the truffle hunt, in the hills outside Florence.

Truffle hunting this morning. A nice walk and a few black truffles. The draught has not been good for truffles black or white, although black truffles like dry. White truffles like moisture. I did not know that growing up in Tarboro. #tuscany #tuscancountryside

Happy Anniversary, Handsome. And thank you for making me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

The (relatively) spare and clean lines of the church of San Lorenzo are a respite from all the goopy baroque. This sachristy houses the tomb of Giovanni di Medici and the astronomical motif frescoes in the blue dome represents his birth date. Cool huh? #florence #sanlorenzo #ilmagnifico

Buongiorno Firenze! The lovely gardens of #ilsalviatino in Fiesole, just up the hill from Florence.

Ciao Prague!
