Eutopia

24 07 2009

This recently opened bookstore brims with out-of-print treasures just steps from bustling Lincoln Road. Eutopia has a fiction section full of honest-to-gosh literature rather than the romance paperbacks that clog several other used bookstores around town. There’s also a Florida nook, where you can snag all kinds of hard-to-find goodies on life in Miami, including several bound volumes of congressional testimony about 1950s FBI investigations into commie subversion in South Florida. Just the kind of historical curio that makes browsing the shelves of Eutopia a joy.





The Villa dei Quintili

10 07 2009

In this season of restructuring and reopening, a particularly interesting addition to the city’s cultural scene is the Villa dei Quintili – one of the largest suburban patrician homes in the ancient city. The recent excavations have uncovered many rooms within the villa complex, as well as exquisite decorations and artefacts, many are on display in situ, including an impressive statue of Zeus seated. Just the place to pick up some interior design tips, imperial Roman style. Booking is essential.
