| Through historical anecdotes as fascinating to an Italophile or history lover as to an opera buff, she recreates Rome in 1800, where Tosca is set: the free and flamboyant lives of the prima donnas, the struggles of impoverished painters, and the brief flowering and brutal suppression of independent pro-Napoleonic republics. Just as the Asiatic style was feminine from the Hellenic view, Venetian and Flemish painting lacked the "normality" of domestic usage, being the "other" or "oltramontano" from Michelangelo's peninsular view or from Hollanda's Italophile view. Signature gift boxes filled with wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar or Il Fornaio's award-winning Baking Book make ideal gifts for the italophile everyone knows. |
