Monday

A still life of blood oranges to start your Hallowe'en Monday on both a beautiful and slightly sinister note. Have a good one.

Teatro Franco Parenti

Something a little different for you today, to get you in a suitably Gothic mood for Hallowe'en — a behind the scenes look at the Teatro Franco Parenti in Milan, an old 1930s cinema that specializes in new and experimental theatre. In 1989 it was renamed in honour of its founder, and it continues to be a vibrant cultural centre, adding conferences, meetings, seminars and workshops to its busy roster of activities. Read more (in Italian) here, too. Via Marie Claire Italia.

And ...

... happy Hallowe'en! Hope it's atmospheric and fun.
