The Renaissance Scrittoio

March 12, 2013

Whether used for business or the display of collections, the study or scrittoio was not a room that was accessible to many visitors.

Another painting at #MuseoCorrer that had no attribution. I love the details on jewelry and cosmetics! #labelladonnahistory #16thcentury #historicalfashion #venetianrenaissance
#Carpaccio dame Veneziani! It was great to be able to see the actual painting by #VittoreCarpaccio and zoom in on the details of the dresses and hairstyles. One is wearing spangles! #labelladonnahistory #15thcentury #historicalfashion
Do you make your own laces or do you buy them? Here, I was using the #14thcentury #fingerloop braiding technique for #lacetti. #labelladonnahistory #ad1387 #glisparvieri #rievocazione #mysca #scalaurels #livinghistory #fingerloopbraiding #sartorfabrics

#PiazzaSanMarco is a must see while in Venezia. Stop into @grancaffequadri for a #SpritzSelect and enjoy the view as well as their band. Kudos to Gareth and his mom for an amazing passagiata on my last evening in Venice. My only regret is that I didn’t get a photo of the amazing shrimp risotto he made for dinner that night. Grazie! #labelladonnahistory #palazzoducale #grancaffequadri
