I’ve only been in the same room at press conferences, but never had a conversation. He comes here a lot & lived in Venice for a time (at Palazzina Grassi) when shooting The Tourist but I didn’t try to stalk him. I did fly from NYC to LA next to his manager & had one of the best flights

Many years ago, when I was a still acting, I auditioned to be his sister in Gilbert Grape. I really wanted that part, even though it was small. I think he’s brilliant.

I love Johnny Depp, too. I’ve never even heard of this one. My access to English-language films is limited to the film festival & whatever the local theater occasionally shows. And I don’t have Netflix…

We’re so fortunate to have been on the planet at the same time as Diane Keaton, who gave us so much joy🙏

Unfortunately, I haven’t. I should mention the owner told me she’s got lots of good stories & the hotel has at least one ghost

A hotel I’ve wanted to promote is family-owned Hotel Giorgione because the owner is so charming. It even has a small pool! In the center of Venice! www.hotelgiorgione.com?utm_source=g...

Buongiorno! On a sunshiny day from the terrace of the Guggenheim, one of the most beautiful venues in Venice for a press conference (& decadently healthy breakfast). Lucio Fontana in ceramic like you’ve never seen him. “Manu-Facture” to March 2, 2026-> www.guggenheim-venice.it/en/whats-on/...

Happy Birthday John Lennon! Who would have been 85 #OTD if he hadn’t been assassinated. He inspired Harley, Like a Person. Now’s a good time to stream One to One: John & Yoko, which premiered last year at the Venice Film Festival. I loved it-> venetiancat.blogspot.com/2024/10/imag...

View of Venice from the Calatrava, a bridge that makes you march to a different drum

I’m talking about the little Church of San Cristoforo, not San Michele in Isola, which was closed. As we get closer to All Saints & the bridge, it will be easier to get answers

You know, JJ, I’d never gone in there for years, so I don’t know. It seems like it is open every day, but no one seemed to be in charge. Maybe they were out on the grounds? There is very little info about it, so if you find any, please let me know.

Oh, I don’t think it’s sad. It’s just a blip on Venice’s radar. Besides, weddings are positive occasions, unlike, say, wars. We should wait & see what happens next.

The history of coffee culture in Italy ☕️ #InternationalCoffeeDay

The history of coffee culture in Italy

If there is one thing Italian coffee history proves, it is that coffee culture is Italian culture, it's a testament to the people coming together and enjoying life.
