I love that you provided the interview in Italian as well. I’m trying to work on my fluency now that Italy is becoming home rather than just somewhere I love going on holiday.

And I’m in the process of furnishing our new house, so I loved her idea that a home contains elements of who you’ve been and where you’ve gone in the past.

Thanks Brenna for the bilingual interview!

The article touched many visual and language points!

Many parts stood out to me, and these are the ones that did the most:

Busts on the piano brought me back to my childhood playing my parents piano looking at a bust of Mahler and also looking at a Pieta of Michelangelo. Artifacts help make spaces.

Chairs, tables, floors, pictures, all brilliant, eliciting feelings, and connecting me to her.

I also collect items that have decorated my homes and reflected who I am. Often I don’t need to explain myself, people look at the artifacts and understand me.

I’m a chip, computer, and systems architect for a living. Each one is its own space that I visualize first and then create.

The need for quiet, to be with ourselves, fearlessly.

Yes Raul! I am so attached to the objects in my home. I don’t bring anything into it that I don’t LOVE! ❤️ glad this resonated with you.
