SPAGHETTI WESTERN
QUALSIASI LUOGO MA CASA
We all crave anything
out of the ordinary.
Hence the lure of the wild west
has long entranced
natives and foreigners alike.
TESORA DELLE MUCCHE
In 1910 Giacomo Puccini
premiered his tour de force
La Fanciulla del West
(The Girl of The Golden West).
CINEMA OCCIDENTALE
Often it takes an outsider
to make us see our world anew.
In the mid-sixties,
Sergio Leone reinvented the western.
And made Clint Eastwood a star.
CUCINA ESOTICA
Which may explain
why today there are fourteen
OLD WILD WEST STEAK HOUSES
serving "western fixins"
up and down the boot of Italy.
RAGAZZO DI MUCCA NATURALE
As a boy growing up in Missouri,
At age sixteen Charles Marion Russell
dropped out of school and ran away to Montana.
For the rest of his life
he roamed the ranges of central Montana.
Immortalizing the way out west
in over 2,000 paintings.
COMBINAZIONE RARA
Recently C+V HOME acquired
this pair of rare Italian faience wall plaques
each featuring a classic "Charlie" Russell painting
from the Gilcrease Museum Collection.
A Doubtful Visitor
The Wagon Boss
Exceptionally large at 17" diameter,
they were handcrafted at the
Capodimonte factory in Naples.
Both feature intricate rope borders.
$175 each
