There’s little doubt that the Italians have been doing a lot of things right for a very long time. They know, for example, how to make splendour look stunning even when faded by seven hundred years….
They also know how to create charming balconies…
and the most picture-perfect river scenes.
They pull off all the right accessories, with a special flair for door panels...
street-corner wall fountains...
lanterns...
and whimsical knockers.
They give whole new meaning to making a grand entrance…
and to gated communities...
and pick their colours well.
Even motherhood looks particularly good on them.
