Spello, provincia di Perugia, Umbria, Italia.

"Sprezzatura" is a beautiful Italian word, yet is much less renowned in Italy than abroad. It's the attitude of people who are glamorous without being aware of it - or at least without showing to be aware.
You can find much "sprezzatura" along the catwalks, that's why this word is so fashionable. But if you look carefully to Italian people you'll realize they move with "sprezzatura" in everyday life, as if the simply walking in the street were actually a defilé.

Adding "sprezzatura" to life means constantly looking for beauty, always caring about details. And whoever knows Italians is well aware their attitude spreads "sprezzatura" all day long. Someone says it's impossible to have it unless you were born in Italy, nevertheless we think everyone may add a pinch of "sprezzatura" to their life.
Many thanks to our dear friend Allison Eikerenkoetter for her precious suggestion!

What a lovely setting for an art history talk, right?

Had a great time speaking about the Art Club’s connections to Italy - including the sculptor Adolfo Apolloni, an early member of the Club who returned to Italy and became Mayor of Rome, and and Italian Senator. Apolloni even sculpted a facsimile of a lost Bernini fountain!

Then emceed a panel with three contemporary Art Club artists who travel to Italy and include Italian themes in their work regularly. Lots of great conversation and questions.

Thanks to our members Deborah Del Sesto, Vice Consul of Italy, and Deborah Salvatore who proposed this event!
