a piece of NoHo in rome????

jesus cristo.

in the morning it was over cast, i revisited a few of my favorite things and then went to a PICASSO exhibit right be the roman forums and piazza venizia!

one of the first paintings in the exhibit was a painting on loan from Smith College in Northampton, MA!!!! I wrote a in-depth paper on this painting ... so i knew it right away. crazy... it blew my mind to walk into a museum in rome and see something from NoHo.

the whole exhibit was fantastic. there were so many paintings from private collections- and things i had never seen before. there werte a LOT of his etchings... and a copy of one of his invitations to a showing of his work from way back... posters and old news articles...

going to this show was one of the coolest things i have done.

i can't believe one day i can be at the sistine chapel, and then a couple days later at a picasso exhibit.

tomorrow i head to perugia where i stay for a night and then meet marcello at a market on sunday.

marcello is a farmer rom terni- in umbria. i will be with him until almost christmas? i am looking forward to meeting him. he grows spelt and makes bread. i will be making bread... i am really excited. and i will be going to market with him! and probably collecting firewood?


so... WOW.
