Campo di Fiori market

More rain. Actually it poured while we were at Campo di Fiori market. We tried to stay under tents but we finally pulled out our tacky plastic rain coats we bought on street. Then ducked into museum only to find that one of our favorite Artemesia's paintings was on loan and it Argentina until October. Could someone please alert the Italian that it is October. But wonderful visit the to Villa Farnese. CLOSED. But open Saturday morning. Millions of tourist and limited openings. But so much to see. Visited couple churches, forum and so much more.....All Hills Lead to Rome.

Photo: Tega in Italy...again. It's so great having a mom who is a butterfly with jet wings. Love her!! Mama, repost!

He displayed his skill in a plethora of stage productions on Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway. He did 14 major films including “Raging Bull”. At his agent’s suggestion, Scott left New York for Los Angeles in 1986 and took up residence in Silverlake, the most ethnically diverse area of the city.

After his move to Los Angeles, Scott continued to pursue his acting career and became the recipient of five prestigious Dramalogue awards. He also turned his eye to community service. He joined the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Governing Board for Region 1 and became an advisor to Make Music Los Angeles, the Silver Lake Jubilee and the Sunset Free Clinic. As a member and a writer of the bi-laws of the governing board for the Greater Griffith Park Neighborhood Council, Scott founded "Theater Partners in Residence” with the City of LA Recreation and Parks Department. The program allowed 99-seat theatres to use park space for rehearsals and performances in exchange for teaching classes For his work in mentoring students who participated in the Cleveland Media Academy at Grover Cleveland High School in Los Angeles, the academy named their media award, "The Scottie'' in his honor. For seventeen years was Artistic Director of Dillon Street Players and 2 of their original works have been published..

Scott’s love of architecture made him seek the presidency of the Friends of Hollyhock House from 2000 to 2006. During that period, Scott helped raise $17 million for Phase One of the restoration project. He was instrumental in having the historic home declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and America's Landmark.
