"Gondolas and their gondoliers have navigated the narrow canals of Venice since the 11th Century. Our chair looks on as history becomes today. At this moment, there are no crowds or cameras except for ours. There is simply an elegant craft skimming across the water as its forebears intended."

"Florence's Duomo, its ornate green and white marble facade, its Renaissance stained glass, as well as its exalted place in history, are all but forgotten as Brunelleschi's masterpiece becomes a backdrop for a romantic moment. A couple embraces, oblivious to the history but intimately aware of its effect."

"In the tranquil seaside town of Aspra, even the sun lingers a little longer as if to relax with the locals. The simplicity of yet another beautiful day creates an ebb and flow that has our chair under its spell."
