...every seat Take a Hike Destinations to restore your sense of wonder When you've had enough of Rome's ancient ruins, Caravaggio paintings and Bernini buildings, drop into the De Chirico House-Museum for a bracing look at the life and work of a 20th century master. Giorgio de Chirico fused a classical eye with a disquieting imagination to create Metaphysical art - like the eerie Melancholy and Mystery of a Street (1914), which depicts the shadowy figure of a girl rolling a hoop into a piazza - and later breathed new life into the Baroque. De Chirico's pristinely preserved...
...from the agreed upon golden age before 1940, when Dali's great topic was sex and how much it frightened him.

When Pierre Cardin licensed his name to a line of ready-to-wear clothes, he diluted his brand and his value plummeted. And few know that Isaac Mizrahi only launched his Target line after he had to close his own couture line after a few bad seasons, as reported by The Advocate’s Sept. 2003 issue...
...week in Milan went beyond manufacturing clothes abroad; they outsourced their inspiration. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who had recently traveled to Botswana, brought back a sexy show filled with zebra-striped chiffon dresses, ivory bangles and chic safari jackets. After a 10-day romp through Asia last April, Giorgio Armani returned with a vision of a fictional Asian woman in soft satin pajama pants, boxy Chinese jackets and coolie hats. Gianfranco Ferre looked over the horizon to exotic locales like San Salvador de Bahia and the Amazon rain forest for his orchid-covered creations, and included python sandals...
