How did it happen ? How did I spell my favorite Irish beer incorrectly!? Of course Its Guinness My excuse is the heat and the long time since I've had a pint -which I hear has gone up in price significantly since I had my last pint in the family pub ( The Old Ground) in Claremorris, Co. Mayo

Amazing stories-- I love the connection with artists like Twombley and Pasolini. More incredible things to see in fascinating Tuscia!

Loved seeing this about Palazzo Altemps/ Twombly. We visited there this spring, but found it closed. So fascinating how many 20th/ 21st C artists settled in the Tuscia and neighboring Maremma, finding inspiration in the landscape. Balthus, De Saint-Phalle. Also, I believe, for a time, Francesca Woodman, and our own Justin Bradshaw!
