The Guggenheim, Venice is getting ready for ‘The Making of a Collector’ exhibition opening 25th April. The focus is on Peggy’s gallery in Cork St, London 1938-39 ’ w/ the highly competent curator Grazina Subelyte at the helm it’ll be a goody!  Details in bio! wp.me/p5eFNn-atG Peggy Guggenheim - The Making of a Collector opens on 25th April in Venice A day in the library reading about Trieste and Italian literature - loving Micol Brusaferro and Chiara Gily on the differences between Triestini and Napoletani - adoro la scrittura di Chiara Gily - Napoletana ma abita a Trieste. Lei ha un nuovo libro adesso - non vedo l’ora di leggerlo ‘Aspettami al Caffè Napoli’ al’ ombra di Pino Daniele….. sono un po’ behind the times qui in Inghilterra! Ozymandias - A poem by Shelley - well worth a careful read Getting ready for the Venice Biennale - opening on Saturday, 9th May, 2026 The power of words fm heroic Byron, From Venice to Trieste I’m planning and preparing our tours and events for the next twelve months - a synthesis of history, geography, art and literature. Books and paintings, the history of printing and book publishing in Venice. Historic characters like Lord Byron, poet and playboy and his time on San Lazzaro, with the Armenian monks. Dramatic lives, ordinary lives and the traces they leave behind. Agatha Christie in Istanbul, Orhan Pamuk and his novels……. A little corner of Greece in Venice centred on the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci
