It's one of Europe's most important and best preserved historic house museums, authentically presenting the Neo-Renaissance house as it was at the end of the 19th century, full of Italian Renaissance art and furniture. Of the few textile arts present, you might enjoy the embroidered "Pietà" in Giuseppe's bedroom, the embroidered hat in the arms gallery, and the embroidered glove in Carolyn's bedroom. If you come, let me know!Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350579051520505525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-88848052238081156172010-08-16T19:01:27.057-07:002010-08-16T19:01:27.057-07:00Thanks Star!

I would be interested to see the Aquarium and other things left from the World's Fair in 1906.Jeanine in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846336931938366326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-4976039515806871012010-08-16T04:58:33.763-07:002010-08-16T04:58:33.763-07:00I love it when our interests synchronize across th...I love it when our interests synchronize across the miles. The park behind the Sforza castle in Milan has a bridge with four little sirens. I took the photo fairly recently, and posted it on "My Milan (Italy)" blog, today, in honor of your post! I'll also link to your post in my needlepoint blog, so my readers can see your siren patterns, thanks!<br />Star<br />http://mymilanitaly.blogspot.com/2010/08/siren-call-in-sempione-park.html<br />http://arsacupicturaestellae.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-of-siren.htmlStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350579051520505525noreply@blogger.com
