Mom at the Gallery of Francis IRosso Fiorentino

This gallery (1530s), created for King Francis I, is a masterpiece of early French Renaissance art. Fiorentino’s frescoes, stuccoes, and salamander emblems exalt the king’s authority and taste. My mother, Irina, stands within the hall, her quiet presence grounding this place of royal grandeur in a personal moment of connection across centuries.
