Viaggio

Between Rome, Amalfi Coast, Pompei and Orvieto. What an amazing trip, as a dream...

Napoli e dintorni

A long journey in Italy visiting my large family. My parents, before moving to Rome in 1962, were originally from Naples and during this trip, I felt I'm very much from here too! Napoli is truly an amazing city, all to discover. If you happen to go there, don't forget the best sfogliatelle pastry, are from Scaturchio and the area around Piazza San Domenico Maggiore is beautiful! More photos of the trip on Instagram.

Summer days

Slow summer days, between Cape Cod and Marblehead. Love New England!

Early summer night

Moments of last night at Susy's Pilgrim Waters home. A delight to be there, breathe summer air and colors in such a good company. Thank you Susy!

The Printing Art Fair

I can't believe this blog started exactly six years ago, after attending my very first Printing Art Fair at the Museum of Printing. This time I only went as a visitor with my family and truly enjoyed father's day between printing and demonstrations and strawberry picking at the local farm. Funny to revisit old photos of all the past years attending the fair. Summer is almost here!

Moments at Squam

Beautiful Squam so happy we went back! Refreshing, inspiring, peaceful! thank you Squam to have another great event this year!

Trip to Terrain

For the whole week I remained speechless and observed a week of silence from social media. I was without words and shocked for what happened just a few blocks away from our studio. Only today I revisited the photos of our recent family trip to Baltimore and Washington DC. We ended our journey to Terrain on the way back to Boston, and this thankfully kept us away from the city and the terrible events until that Monday night. Here are some photos of Terrain that left me full of inspiration and that makes me start this new week with hope for a more peaceful and creative time. The giveaway winner from the previous post has been announced and thank you for everyone that support and encourage our work and continue to inspire us everyday!

Moments of NYC

The days spent in NYC feel already long ago and I miss those moments lost around the city and enjoying walking, even in the icy rain. The show is always a treat, I meet and talk to tons of people and see so much in just a few days, that they feel as the most intensive days of the entire year! Thank you to everyone that took the time to visit us and commented on our new products. We are truly grateful! Before these shots of NYC and the show seems too old to share, here they are! A few highlights of the trip: visited ABC Carpet and Home (a revelation), meeting with Tinsel Trading, Austin Press, Kstudio, Lovell Designs, Fog Linen and Pi'lo, having brunch with a dear, old friend at Community Restaurant in the Upper West Side, Muji and all the great people I met at the show! More photos on Instagram and Nole did a beautiful coverage of the show. Thank you.

Roma 2013

I'm somehow recovered from jet lag, but still feeling up in the air, after a few weeks spent in Rome with my family. I had the time to rest, take a break from life and work and set goals and resolutions for the new year. Slowly I will announce new projects and products, 2013 seems already full of news and I will get back to my usual routine at the studio. Sorry if the shop was closed for so long and I apologize for any inconvenience. I like to share some photos taken during the trip, I was particularly interested in colors and textures this time and a visit on the very top of the Cupola di San Pietro, after at least twenty years, it left a deep, strong impression that will last, I'm sure, the rest of the year! More images of the trip on my Instagram. Happy 2013 everyone!

Holidays 2012

Studio Carta and Shop will be closed from December 24th, until January 10th, 2013. Augurissimi a tutti, thank you so much for being with us all through the year and see you soon in 2013!
