Vote! For Bernini, Italy, and Me

I’m going to get straight to the point, we need your help, Bernini and me. Let me explain…

I’m very pleased to announce that once again an article that I have written about Italy has made the shortlist in the Italy Magazine Blogger Awards 2014.

Italy is an ongoing source of inspiration for me, and the inspiration behind this blog, therefore  being nominated  and recognized on a website  that’s all about Italy, a website that I admire and read, makes me feel like a winner already.

I’m especially pleased because I really enjoyed writing the nominated article as it’s about one of my favorite Italian artists, Bernini.  I think a vote for Adventures of a Carry-on is like a vote for Bernini. Assuming you love Bernini too, it’s a win all around. So you see, Bernini and me, we need you.

So please, it will take less than 60 seconds to click on the arrow in the photo above and find Adventures of a Carry-on on the page. Then click on the black box. It’s that simple. I’m competing against nine other blogs. They are all good. So I really do need your help.

Voting closes the 27th of February 2015 and winners will be announced on March 3, 2015.

A fun side note…I actually did go back to Rome and I did see the Bernini angels on the Ponte Sant’ Angelo and also the original sculptures in the church, Sant’ Andrea Della Fratte. And yes, it was worth it.

Here they are.

These are the original angels sculpted by Bernini himself
