Florence is filled with beauty and the newly opened “Broken” at Palazzo Strozzi offers another example of artistic contributions to humanity spanning thousands of years and throughout the globe.

Once again the Strozzi hosts another worthwhile window into the world of art under the directorship of and Impeccably curated by C. D. Dickerson III. Last Ripple salutes this remarkable endeavour!

What a way to welcome Autumn at our annual Lady Ripple Equinox event. We vibrated strong! So grateful for our collaboration with who not only hosted our community, but houses our beehives on its roof.

During our rooftop event, we saw the bees up close, we moved our energy , we raised our glasses to the new season and emptied our intentions into the fire. This is what Lady Ripple loves to do best — create a community ripple.

A huge shout out of thanks to all who showed up in support of our initiatives and for the funds raised for our charitable urban bee project, Bee the Ripple.

One of the best artisan shows is on this weekend in Florence .

Since 1995, Neri Torrigiani and the Corsini family have given their extraordinary vision to create and curate this annual event within the gardens and stables of the Corsini Palazzo.

Lady Ripple was so inspired this year by all the younger talent of Italian artisans who are using their hands and applying apprenticeship of generations past to the creativity of today.

Homo Faber 2026 did not disappoint.

It was a phenomenal display of some of the best artisan work in the world. It truly represents what the mind and the imagination dreams and what the hand creates.

Plan your trip to Venice now before the end of September to be truly inspired.

Florence is alive with music and last night’s spectacular performance brought sentiments of hope. The great talent coming out of the young musicians of .moz was impressive, passionate and inspiring.

Sponsored by , the concert not only celebrated the recent restorations of San Miniato al Monte but was a testimony to the passion of young performing artists and their connection to sacred beauty.

Lady Ripple applauds their great talent and performance of such beautiful compositions by Mozart. May their music ripple out to bring inspiration and joy to many.

Florence you look marvelous. Everyday is a postcard to put a smile on the face and a sigh in the heart.

Rising early before the intense heat and summer tourists, the city is herself again.

Find your beauty when and where you can. It elevates the spirit, changes the neurological pathways in the brain and brings a great state of calm to our nervous systems. Above all, it puts a smile on our hearts.

The platform of the great churches of Florence still provides the best sound system for ancient music to be heard and to be deeply inspired.

Cherubic sounds of the human choir are being revived by the .generation.foundation accompanied by Renaissance styled instrumentalists of Vox Medicea. At Basilica Santo Spirito , the choral tradition is being revived which is the greatest of gifts to the city of Florence and to the youth who want to share their vocal creativity.

Lady Ripple applauds this wonderful initiative of the Florence Choral Course that brings together dozens of young voices from all over the world to train at the premises and the New Generation Festivals Sacred Music Programme.

In a world of artificial creation, nothing can replace the soulful intelligence of the performing arts. To be able to find artistic expression within the next generations makes virtues like hope, beauty and curiosity expand within us. It is this sector of humanity that fires the imagination and is endlessly alive.

Thanks to the sponsorship and efforts of such organisations such as , and , collaborative ripples are occurring that support authentic creativity.

Lady Ripples applauds all of the efforts of ‘The Garden Project’ and Alii Horti — an all female student-led dance performance, with original bio-resonant original music accompanying the performance by .

Summertime Florence is alive with live music and last night , Lady Ripple had the pleasure of dancing to the music of Paul Simonon from The Clash. Loved hearing the wonderful lineup of music brought to us by the collective from London .

May the dance ripples continue!
