The Shrine at Bramasole
On my last four trips to Italy, I've been to visit Bramasole three times. On my first visit I was taken with the shrine at the front of her house, and I now have the same terracotta plaque in my home in Australia.

All your photos are so lovely, I cannot wait to see Italy. I've always wanted to go. I finally get to see Rome and Florence in November with my mother.
Canberra sounds hot and dry - luckily in Sydney we have had some rain this year! I love the rain, and especially the hot, humid summer days that are followed by a cool early-evening shower...this week looks like being pretty overcast, though - time to pull out the cognac!
Wow, thanks for posting this. I loved reading about their shrine in Under the Tuscan Sun but had no idea what it actually looked like. It's a nice one!
I'm hoping that the shrine book will arrive today.
it really is a special shrine. I've seen so many of them around Italy and they sort of just pop up in the middle of nowhere. Magical...
I see you're a fan of Tuscany & Frances Mayes too. I've never been there but have read all of her books more than once. Have you ever read Isabella Dusi's book Vanilla Beans & Brodo? I bet you have but in case you haven't it's about an Australian woman & her husband who go to Italy to live and settle in Montalcino. Along similar line to Frances' books although not quite as entertainingly written.
