These are a pair from last year's Venice visit...shoulda woulda coulda bought but store was closed...my first pair were red leather loafers we bought in San Remo, Italy when I was 10 years old.i remember going back to the Villa Maria, a small hotel a few blocks from the casino and walked proudly thru the front door in my new shoes.A Catholic clergyperson was registering and I remember he was admiring this kid's shoes and gave me a compliment...I believe it took days before i stopped to change shoes.
Red shoesand all...I remember the meals there that were served with a formal service at lunch and dinner.I gladly listened to my mother in making sure I was on my best behaviour and minded my manners.I believe, this is where I first experienceda pizza pie...Margherita with anchovies..still my favorite.
