wanderlust: italy

i've always been fascinated by the renaissance. to me, it represents one of the peaks of art in history, and the works of michelangelo, da vinci, titian, alberti, raphael and the rest are just magnificent. so naturally, i always wanted to see where they lived and how they worked. the cities of florece, lucca, peruggia have an unstoppable charm for me. i've never actually been there (yet!), but i just hearing their names i can clearly imagine young leonardo walking the barely paved street on his way to the workshop, or michelangelo buying an orange in the humid heat of mediterranean noon.
