Finding Morandi in Bologna

There are any number of reasons to make a trip to the beautiful city of Bologna. It might be for business, since Bologna is a center of commerce, or for great shopping, or to eat the meat-rich regional food. Pasta bolognese, anyone? None of these treats drew me and my family to Bologna the first time, although we were delighted to discover them once we’d arrived. It was, instead, the paintings, drawings and watercolors of Giorgio Morandi housed in the Museo Morandi.

Explaining Family Crest Terminology
Posted on November 18, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
For many years I have had an interest in “Coats of Arms?, which are
often referred to as Family Crests. Family Crests are located directly
on top of the wreat on the Coat of Arms, which is above the helmet,
mantle and shield. Habitation origin, occupational origin and
occupative origin is typical of terminology that may be used in
Heraldry. If you have studied Heraldry or are involved, you already
know that it is very easy to understand.
