of shadows and light played off the ochre of walls, the indigo of an awning,
the vermillion of window box geraniums.

restaurant specializing in frutti di mare.
In
Italian, il mecenate means “the patron,” and indeed, it is all about you, the
one sitting at the table.

country house in the rolling hills of Toscano.
IL MECENATE REVIEW CONTINUES
