After reading The Rebel, the June 18 installment of A world of inspiration on Velvet Escape, I was smitten enough by the writing of Gloria Casinadirosa to visit her home on the web, At Home in Tuscany.
Gloria is not a tourist or a transplant, she is a born and bred Tuscan.
As she reminds us in one of her pieces, The place you call a destination, for some people is home (April 30).
She also rents Casina di Rosa, a vacation home (pictured above) in the village of Civitella Marittima.
Would not mind trading my gray, rainy day in New Jersey for her sunny terrace.
As for the transplants:
A Sting Operation..Or rather Trudy's…Yoga…Rest and Relax…Il Palagio (Tuscany)
