The french window and shutter embraces romance and mystery, the muted greys and blues are soft and delicately worn, the image of fresh rosemary, thyme and lavender spring to mind.
The last few days I have been wandering the medieval villages of Tuscan hilltop towns.
La finestra, the Italian window is quite different. It has more of a fortified look, it is strong and bold, the colours announce to the village which families live behind these closed coloured shutters.
I would love to peek behind these beautiful windows and see the lives of the Italian families that live within.
Are they young couples just starting out on the adventure of life?
Are they old worn people, who cannot get out much anymore, they sit in the one strip of sunlight that the window allows them?
Are they housing families with little bambinos that race up and down the winding stairs shrieking with delight as they chase each other around the palazzo?
I would!
Talk to you soon. Andrina x
