When the Duomo Became a Concert Hall
Every summer, Piazza del Duomo in Spoleto quietly transforms into one of Italy’s most remarkable open-air concert venues. During the closing evening of Festival dei Due Mondi, I discovered that the most memorable performance wasn’t only the orchestra - it was also the changing light, the ancient cathedral and the art of noticing.
Looking Again
Returning home to Umbria after a few days in London, I found myself slowing down among the sunflowers. Looking closely at what first appeared familiar became a quiet reminder that paying attention can be one of the simplest ways to feel grounded again.
The Space Between
Some cities are remembered through their landmarks. Others reveal themselves in quieter ways. During a few days in London, I found myself lingering in neighbourhoods, watching markets wake up, and discovering that the moments between destinations often become the ones we remember most.
My Third Summer in Umbria
Three years after moving to Italy, June feels less like a season and more like a way of life. Long days, ripening fruits, lingering lunches and familiar routines reveal an Umbria that guidebooks rarely describe.
The Luxury of Silence
Living in Umbria has made me question what silence, slowness and rest truly means in modern life. On overstimulation, performative travel, il dolce far niente, and learning to sit quietly with oneself in a world shaped by constant movement.
