Elena Murzello

Tower of London

May 22, 2011

Kevin thought that the cashier where we picked up to non-helpful guide of the Tower of London was cute. I think the audio guide was like 4 pounds or something like that… biggest waste of money ever.

Wood fired pizza appreciation reel with the backst Wood fired pizza appreciation reel with the backstory of the name of the restaurant, @i12gatti Hot tip, guests of @galleriavikmilano can organize a pizza making class at the restaurant through the concierge and not have to venture too far to have a great meal. Here’s the backstory (as written on the table placemat): Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived in one of the attics of the Galleria Vitorio Emanuele II. The old woman was known, because through the dormers fed the pigeons and her pair of black cats that roamed free on the rooftops. The day when the old woman, too lonely and too old to continue to live up there, left the attic, the cats remained. Too wild and too wary to be captured. But contemptuous of danger and curious enough to venture more than once through the warehouses in the shops of the Galleria. The cats of the old woman have multiplied and today, on the roofs of the Galleria, lives a colony of twelve cats, all black. We (@i12gatti ) along with the City Council of Milan and the associations of animal protection, with great enthusiasm, have made a commitment to contribute to their care, leaving them the space and the tranquillity, because a roof without cats is anonymous. By eating here you are contributing to their care and especially their freedom. Thank you. _________ #thelovelist #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #freelancewriter #travelwriter #discoverunder25K #opentocollaborations #travelblogger #opentopartnerships #lifestylewriter #presstrip #falltravel #milan #italy #europeantravel #europe #traintravel #galleriavikmilano #milano #vikpellicootto #pizza #woodfiredpizza #i12gatti #cookingclass #galleriavittorioemanuele #aperol #aperitivo #aperolspritz
What a week, friends! Here’s some more Milan con What a week, friends! Here’s some more Milan content for the weekend. While in Milan, I did two touristy things. The first touristy thing I did, I’ve done before, but because you can only be in the space for a limited time for restoration purposes - I had to go again. It was visiting Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper fresco. I learned five new things about the famed dinner painting: 1. Leonardo’s signature knot is found in the lower right corner of the table cloth. 2. The light blue designs were not part of the original. 3. Leonardo used oil based paints, which did not wear the rest of time and began to flake off. 4. Due to this trial technique, artist Pinin Brambilla spent 21 years successfully restoring the fresco. She died at the age of 95. I think this would be a great feature film or limited series (just putting it out there in the universe). 5. During the war, the fresco was sandbagged to protect it. And after the war, the fresco wall and the painting on the wall across (The Crucifixion) remained standing. The Duomo, is the second touristy thing I visited on my Milan trip. This was my chance to walk along the terraces, above the roof and see the stunning view. And as you can see, the gothic architecture is breathtaking. _________ #thelovelist #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #freelancewriter #travelwriter #discoverunder25K #opentocollaborations #travelblogger #opentopartnerships #lifestylewriter #presstrip #falltravel #milan #italy #europeantravel #europe #traintravel #galleriavikmilano #milano #vikpellicootto #duomo #leonardodavinci #thelastsupper #DuomoMilan #Gothiccathedral #gothicarchitecture #frescopainting #artist #BasilicadiSantaMariadelleGrazie
After returning to Milan, from the @adlersparesort After returning to Milan, from the @adlersparesorts in Ortisei, I checked into the dreamy @galleriavikmilano hotel. This was my first full day, starting off @vikpellicootto restaurant for some breakfast (and much needed coffee!) There’s something about this view though. 🥰 _________ #thelovelist #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #freelancewriter #travelwriter #discoverunder25K #opentocollaborations #travelblogger #opentopartnerships #lifestylewriter #presstrip #falltravel #milan #italy #europeantravel #europe #traintravel #galleriavikmilano #milano #vikpellicootto #duomo #explorepage #europe_vacations #milanhotels #hoteldesign #smallluxuryhotelsoftheworld #smallluxuryhotels #boutiquehotel
