The crumbling splendour of Villa Sant’Isidoro de Cordova, Bagheria, Sicily. Superb historic house still filled with family furniture, paintings, books, ladies evening gowns, hats and boots! Magical treasure trove. For the full story https://wp.me/p5eFNn-4xU #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #Sicilia #storia #bagheria #travel #familylife

Amazing visit towards centre of the Earth. www.educated-traveller.com

Brilliant thought provoking ‘mani’ sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn ‘Building Bridges’ @lorenzoquinnartist @luigibrugnaro @salonenauticovenezia @veneziaunica @veneziaautentica https://wp.me/p5eFNn-4xk #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #exceptional #meaningful #clever and yet #simple @cnntravel @nytimestravel @amnestyitalia

The real boat culture of Venice is right here in this renovated magazzino at Arsenale, Venezia. Historic heritage at Salone Nautica Venezia - Lorenzo Quinn’s ‘mani’ are right next door! #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #salonenauticavenezia #2019 #biennalearte2019

Lorenzo Quinn's hands are somewhat overshadowed by frenzied construction for the Salone Nautica Venezia - Venice Boat Show which opens today. It's a veritable hive of activity down here. #Arsenale #Venezia #salonenautica

Ready for a gondola? Venezia 2019!
