Handmade Glass Mosaic Artworks | Anna Roman


Walking around Venice, we saw these cool glass artworks by an artist named Anna Roman showcased in the middle of the plaza.
Handmade by the artist herself, the glass mosaic artworks are very unique [each design is only one of its kind]

Finding Pinocchio


Someone once wrote that Pinocchio was the most popular Italian in the world. This must be true because you can hardly find a language where Carlo Lorenzini’s [aka Collodi] “Le Avventure di Pinocchio”  have not been adapted.
As a toy lover, I searched for the perfect Pinocchio to bring home as souvenir from Italy.
Here's what I bought - Pinocchio di Bambolandia created by the world-renowned artist Beatrice Perini







Bambolandia
