Beautiful! We are booked for second trip to Italy, including Rome, this October. Oh well....hopefully in a year or two when this virus is tamed, we will be able to travel. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for these lovely pictures, from one who will never have the opportunity to see them in person. The fascination with Italian marble is still as alive today as it apparently was in early history.

When traveling around Spain and Portugal, i did a similar thing. Took pictures of the tile work with ideas of making a quilt out of them some day. If travel gets lifted, i have tickets for Greece in June and will be doing a pilgrimage to the many Orthodox Christian churchs and will look for more tiles. The churches will have icons but also may have tile designs as well.

And as people of a modern civilization we think we are so innovative in design...thanks for sharing these lovelies, especially for us not able to travel like you have been able to.

What a trip that must have been! The tile work certainly would look amazing on a quilt. I see quilt designs in floors and walls, too. Even on movies that DH and I have watched. 😊
