Murder and Misery among the Medici
Apr. 11th, 2009 12:50 pmI have been completely distracted from sewing!
Presentation's from last year's Janet Arnold costume colloquium in Florence, Italy are online here. Registration is required--but it's well worth it! The presentations are sensational, although be warned--the Italian ones do not have translation (although if you do know some Italian, do try it--most speakers made extra efforts to speak slowly and clearly). I've got a long entry after the jump--but if you like the Renassance or murder mysteries, it's totally fascinating stuff. ( Follow jump for a bit of eyecandy and a juicy murder mystery! )
For me, this was an engaging bit of research that kept me up late last night and reading through this morning! I'm surprised none of this has ever made press in the US, since it's kind of a fun bit of historic mystery--and well as a stunning costume discoveries. Thank you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
