mike welton of architects+artisans describing the author of this month's april in venice series:
Though some may consider JoAnn Locktov a contemporary diva dedicated to the realm of fine ceramic tiles and mosaics, in fact she is a publicist, a Venetophile and a writer who’s editing a new book on Venice, with photographs by Charles Christopher.
where does the lady find the time? and it is here at- https://www.facebook.com/DreamOfVenice that you can find a charming miscellany of venetian news such as:
- a venetian risotto recipe featuring bruscandoli, the tips of hops, that are only available in april.
- recent photos of the newly restored gritti palace.
- an american's personal journey as a gondolier, as shared in the new yorker.
