Why do you look for flaws where beauty dominates?

// I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free //

// The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection //

// Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it //

// My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth's loveliness //

These two entries are where my scrapbooking picks up a little nicer. This was my first holiday and with my partner we went to Florence, Italy, and explored the gardens, the cathedrals, the galleries, and of course we locked our love for eternity onto the ponte vecchio bridge too!

Italy is such a gorgeous country I’d love to explore other parts of it and also learn to speak the language well. We stayed out of the city a little, in Scandicci and ate out there one day local to our airbnb. They spoke little English so I had to try my best to speak what I knew to order our food and i didn’t do the worse tbf but it encouraged me to speak better.

I thought the different lace bits really fit into these pages in with the green for the plant life, too. I love how I fit all the Polaroids in together and these were the first pages I was really happy to look at.

sono precisamente il suo tipo di ragazza (quella seduta in un angolino del bar leggendo un libro di 500 pagine sui giacobini e le società segrete rivoluzionarie del risorgimento italiano)

I've come to the horrible conclusion that the anxious, rambling way I speak, constant smell of cigarettes on my clothes, and deep, immeasurable sadness in my eyes are not just fun and aesthetic character quirks. I think it might actually be scaring off the ladies. And the gentlemen. And the everyone else. Horrible news.

Michelangelo's David

Whenever I thought of the David by Michelangelo, I always pictured it being a human-sized statue, for some reason. I guess pictures online and images from school books gave me this perception. The Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze is where the masterpiece by Michael Angelo ,The David ,is located. This gallery also had other works of artists such as Botticelli and a few others that are known for having worked with and taught Michelangelo himself. Once I entered the hall where the statue of David was, I was in awe to see how big the statue in reality was. I’m still very much shocked to know that this statue that was made in 1500’s and that it was done with such preciseness, amazing proportions, and just aesthetically beautiful. A little incident actually occurred while we were there, observing and admiring the statue. Someone’s toddler ran into the surrounding prohibited area around David. It was pretty humorous to watch as the baby would run in circles around the statue not letting himself be caught by his parents as the security guard grew with anger and frustration. I think one of my teachers got a video of it. I have to say the David is a must-see if visiting Florence.
