    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Two things happened this weekend which became entwined in my head. On Friday, I had a delightful gift, courtesy of my friend and top fixer, Corinna Turati, who organised a private viewing of the just-restored Bardi Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Croce, here in Florence.

    Good evening from Singapore, where it’s 30 degrees and 85 percent humidity at 9 pm, and I’m happy as a clam because 1) that’s still seven degrees cooler than Florence, with no mozzies; 2) my skin loo… Read more
