When I gaze at the facades of old buildings, I’m always filled with a subtle sense of a mysterious, almost tangible history. What have they witnessed, how many families once lived there? How many secrets do these walls keep? How much happiness, drama, love, and suffering is hidden behind those stone facades?
In moments like these, you feel your own insignificance especially sharply — as if you were a grain of sand in the vast desert of time. And somewhere, decades from now, someone else will be sitting in front of these same facades, having the same thoughts and drowning in similar feelings.

Когда я всматриваюсь в фасады старых домов, меня всегда наполняет едва уловимое чувство таинственной, почти осязаемой истории. Думаешь о том, сколько всего они видели: сколько семей здесь жило, сколько секретов хранят эти стены, сколько счастья, драм, любви и страданий скрыто за их каменными лицами.
В такие моменты особенно остро ощущаешь собственную незначительность. Будто ты — песчинка в бескрайней пустыне времени. И где-то спустя десятки лет кто-то другой будет сидеть напротив этих же фасадов, думать о том же самом и погружаться в похожие чувства.
An intaglio is an engraving cut deeply into the surface of a hard material (as stone) and is very much where the idea of cameos came from. In Georgian times through until the mid Nineteenth Century, young English men of wealth and privilege who had come of age, did what was known in society as "The Grand Tour": a tour of Europe with Italy as a key destination, undertaken with a tutor or responsible adult to further educate the young man in classical art. They often returned to England with many treasures including one or more Italian intaglios, which usually featured either a classical scene or a classical male profile.
In truth, this intaglio is a Victorian cameo from the 1860s. It is a recent acquisition and in order for it to come into my possession it really was all about being in the right place at the right time. I quite enjoy fossicking through charity shops, looking for overlooked treasures. A few weeks before Christmas I happened to be in just such a pursuit when, in a cabinet full of pretty but fairly worthless costume jewellery and cheap silver pieces, I came across a real treasure! This cameo, mounted in gold, is hand carved from agate, and features the profile of a Victorian gentleman, which is far less common than the ladies you usually see. I thought it might have been Shakespeare at first, but after some research on this piece, it is mid-Victorian (circa 1860). It would have been made in Italy as a keepsake of the journey there.
A cameo is a material that is carved with a raised relief that often depicts a profile of a face or a mythical scene. Cameos are commonly made out of shell, coral, stone, lava, or glass. Cameo jewellery has varying quality factors including the intricacy of the carving to the quality of the setting. This one would have been in the top range for its fine details.
Even though its original ornate gold surrounding setting has been removed and probably sold for scrap after the cameo was damaged (you can see a crack across the agate from his nose), the most important part of the piece (for me anyway) has survived.
Le colline del Prosecco vicino a Farra di Soligo si distendono in un mare di filari,
custodi di una tradizione che affonda le radici nel tempo.
Ogni vite racconta il lavoro della terra e il respiro delle stagioni,
trasformando il paesaggio in un'armonia di sapori e bellezza.

This beautiful panorama was taken on a walk from "Forca da Presta" just beneath Monte Vettore, the highest mountain in the Sibillini mountain range. Absolutely beautiful day. There was a bit of "foschia" (mist/haze) but usually you can even see the sea from up there. The Mountain on the left is Vettore.
