Have a wonderful holiday season... Be sure to check out Harrods Dept. Store's Holiday season window displays ...

The Staten Island home of the infamous Corleone (Godfather) family is currently up for sale for a mere $2.9 million.  I took my (Italian) mom to the movie the first weekend it premiered in Hollywood as a young student.  We must have seen it 20 times since that date.  Who ever gets tired of the movie?  The fashions and the actors were superb.  As for the house, its' had some remodeling in the kitchen for a contemporary theme.  The Corleone compound address is 110 Longfellow Ave. See the kitchen...

  I came across a colorful article in Italy Mag featuring the top ten colours of Italy from Naples Yellow  to Schiaparelli pink , the famous fashion designer I studied in art school.   Naples yellow includes various shades of yellow that artists used in painting.                                                               See more of earth-rich Sienna , the most widely used pigment of the Master artists;  Venetian Red , Celeste Blue and more popular, inspiring colors of Italy here...
