venice
i've always had a thing for that hackneyed romance: the masquerade, carnevals, the maze of canals, the epitome of lax european life. Just the mix of those creates a sublime desire of mystery and haphazard stories.
As a kid, i read a book called The Thief Lord. A story that captured the character of venice. The and few days back i watched the lame movie rendition on youtube.
With Delobel and Schoenfelder's 2005-2006 FD that caught my attention in europeans. the baroque, the dark romance, the ....difference. It was a different kind of love. old yet new.
next, it was the travel channel entrapment at chris' house - watching samantha brown. finally seeing venice as it is: quaint, small, dreamlike. It seemed like the "original newport" at parts that intermixes with the magnificence of classic venetian architecture and art. That alone makes the city so envied. It brought to life the work of Canaletto.
My last high school essay happened to be written on venice. In reading the book City of Falling Angel by John Berendt, i was exposed to a non-fictional account of drama about the city and its actually happenings; the public figures, the familial glass artisan, the café owner...
and now reviving Lagerfeld's Chanel Cruise 2009-2010. Genius.
venezia: my new runaway city.
