My favourite tv of the year so far, it’s sublime. And I loved its slowness. Still thinking about it.

I’ve been meaning to watch, but after reading a review like this, I have to move it to the top of the queue! I’m also planning my first trip to Italy in December, so it’ll be fun to select itinerary items based on locations in the series.

(Also, you may not remember, but we briefly worked together back in 2013, when I edited and produced a blog post you wrote for the Met on the history of Washington Heights when the Cloisters was constructed. It was one of my favorite articles to work on in my five years there. I came across your piece on the Unicorn Tapestries here on Substack a few months ago, made the connection, and quickly subscribed! Glad to be reading your lovely writing again, Danielle.)

Such a beautiful ode to the Rome and Italy that once was. I arrived on the scene too late, but I heard about it from Roman friends. I did see the film and felt so much as you did. Just love your posts, Danielle!
