100 years ago today, my great grand aunt, Elizabeth Laura ‘Lizzie’ Folsom Carman, stood in the #BorgheseGallery on her Grand Tour. A family historian, she was drawn to the past, tracing stories across Europe. #Genealogy #GrandTour #Rome 1/3

Outdoor breakfast table set with a white tablecloth, pastries, fresh fruit, poached eggs, sausages, jams, and coffee on a sunny terrace with green chairs and white flowers in the background. View of Alberobello’s iconic whitewashed trulli houses with conical stone roofs, crowded with tourists under a partly cloudy sky, cactus leaves in the foreground. Framed Caravaggio painting of a young boy holding grapes, displayed on a marble wall next to a bust sculpture in a richly decorated gallery. Marble sculpture by Bernini depicting a dramatic mythological scene of a bearded man grappling with a struggling figure, displayed in a grand ornate gallery with marble walls and gilded ceiling.

Today, I walk where she walked, seeing what she saw. Time moved swiftly for her, but her story lingers with my family. In her footsteps, I remember. A century apart, we are still connected—through history, through memory. #BorgheseGallery #FamilyHistory 3/3 #Genealogy
David – By Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1623–1624) Bernini’s version depicts the biblical hero mid-action, in the act of slinging the stone at Goliath. Apollo and Daphne – By Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1622–1625). This sculpture captures the dramatic moment from Ovid’s Metamorphoses when Apollo, in pursuit, reaches for Daphne as she transforms into a laurel tree. Apollo and Daphne (Alternate View) – By Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Another angle of the same sculpture, showing Daphne’s transformation more clearly. Council of the Gods – By Giovanni Battista Ricci (attributed). A ceiling fresco in the Borghese Gallery depicting a mythological scene of Jupiter and the gods.
