Back to the past, or as the Italians equip their homes
Recently, I often have to visit in Italy. And, you know, more than pizza, and pesto panini, Italian fascinate me home.
Here you will not see the huge glass skyscrapers - all revel in the old days, every shabby stone will gently lay in his place. Some towns even have to ban construction of new homes.
If, for example, you want to build a hotel or a restaurant open - it will approve the project only "antique" - with bricks and red tiles, which, certainly, years longer than you.
But you know, this careless attrition Italy to face. Taking a walk through the narrow streets, passing by the windows with cracked paint and broken clay pots, I feel like the heroine of a black and white movie.
And let you zaydom in one of the houses? I warn you once: it is not necessary to remove shoes - Italians go shod. Siniora old school love antiques and old things. The fact that the Russian soul throws, and remember - the Italian will cherish forever, once a month, a speck of dust blowing. In such houses, time has stood still - I think that is about to sound the music, summoning all to the ball.
In large sideboards kept the silver and porcelain. This is - holy family heirloom and the pride of many generations. Ancient stone and solid wood tables, books that even the smell of history, strong drink a 100-year-old, pictures and frames of past centuries, brass candlesticks and figurines.
In il salone - in the living room - the carpets were still great-grandfather, a fireplace and marble cold mirror, which displays a crystal chandelier meter. When the sun's rays are reflected from a completely white walls - the house glows like. With all my love to the "Ikea", she quietly standing aside, wiping away tears of scented wipes.
Why in Italy are so fond of the old days? Says one Italian, antiques - they are the soul and from the heart. They will tell their story and keep the family secrets. And even I, an ardent admirer of modernity, it is very hard to argue with that...
