Ciao Italophile friends! Today I will share with you a typical lazy Sunday in my Italian home. If you’d like to live like an Italian for a day, perhaps you can get some inspiration!
how to spend a lazy Sunday at home, Italian style!
Still in bed, while your husband goes to the neighborhood “bar”, coffee shop, to buy Cornetti for breakfast, you plan lunch.
You forgot to buy the oranges for the “spremuta” (freshly squeezed orange juice), so you make some tea. You serve it in your cute porcelain cups.
You arrange the flowers your husband brought home. Dragon flowers in Italy are called Bocche Di Leone, lion’s mouths. He added a few red, velvety sprigs, sure they’d look perfect on the chimney mantle.
With the pinkish sprigs, you try your first Ikebana arrangement with the base your sister gifted you for Christmas. But first, you take a cute picture of Simposio. The light is great.
This is only a fragment. The full piece lives inside Accademia Sub Rosa.
A quieter space.
A deeper Italy.
A slower way of seeing
Not for everyone.
