Although most vintage train enthusiasts are familiar with the Orient Express for its renowned Paris-to-Venice route, they may not know that the brand has another branch dedicated to exploring Italy by rail. As a Rome-based journalist, I was lucky enough to be one of the first passengers aboard La Dolce Vita Orient Express to experience its "Taste of Tuscan Vineyards" journey from Rome to Montalcino.
I enjoy mixing materials, citing textured plaster walls, hand-painted tiles, and other surfaces of lacquered wood or polished stone. That's where the richness of the project comes from.
