I found the girls!

I found the naked ladies from the Palazzo Castiglioni at the Villa Romeo Faccanoni. They are at the health clinic where I was sent for chest x-rays yesterday!

Villa Romeo Faccanoni is “Considered the second most important of the buildings constructed by Giuseppe Sommaruga in Milan, after Palazzo Castiglioni, Villa Faccanoni was, at the time of its construction, an elegant example of residential architecture built in Art Nouveau style for a bourgeois client at the beginning of the last century”.

Caio Milano!

Arrived in Milan a on Wednesday, and met our Design in Context group for lunch at the delicious ‘salt food atelier’, Friday afternoon. On the way home I stopped in the city centre and this was my first sight of the glorious Duomo as I exit the dark subterranean metro station––it glitters even on an overcast day!

I am looking forward to seeing all your posts over the coming weeks and experiencing Milan, Como, Venice and Omegna through your eyes.

Let me know if there are any issues posting to the blog and we can troubleshoot tomorrow. Best, Kate
