Linen in Lucca

On the third Sunday of each month, the squares of Lucca fill slowly with market stalls and old things waiting for a second life. Italian linen tablecloths folded in tall stacks. Fine cotton nightgowns with delicate embroidery. The kind of pieces that feel carried through generations, and somehow still belong in everyday life.

NOTES FROM VINCI

Vinci sits quietly in the Tuscan hills, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and roads that curve slowly through the landscape.

Best known as the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, the town still feels untouched in many ways. Small cafés, old stone buildings, and long afternoons where not much seems to happen at all.
