Italy
A mosaic of old and new
My mom and I went to Italy and rented a little Fiat at the Rome Airport. We headed North to spend a week in a cottage next to a medieval castle near Siena. We later drove south to the Amalfi Coast where we found a hotel with a sweeping view of the Sorrento harbor and surrounding hills. When I see these photographs I have the impression that Italy is a time warp; a montage of old and new. It's both ancient and hyper-modern; a poetic paradox where there are puzzles to solve by the minute, and ways of doing things that seem incongruous with common sense. But having experienced Italian art, antiquity, wine and food, I have to admit, Italy has earned immunity from common sense.
