Anyone interested In art Is Invited to attend. Veni-Vidi By MARGARET SCHULER . Like Medford, Rome has an "alley" art show, or it would be if they called narrow streets "alleys." But there are no alleys here; they are just narrow streets, behind other narrow streets, so that what appears to be one-so cobblestoned, in auspicious and old-often turns out to harbour some old pal ace, a famous restaurant, or an antique shop. As you walk through this street you may see wondrous things, like old escrutcheons, coat s-of-arms, murals or statues. Such a place is where the outdoor art show is held - Via Mar gutta, the street of the artists. It is the home of hundreds of artists. Behind the walls, up steps (old worn, stone steps) are fantastically charm ing gardens, studios, little gates and fences twined with roses, flower beds, old lights, fountains, and even old gnarl ed trees, growing out of -I can't imagine-what. And all this from the alley front. Other stone steps lead to poor looking, cobweb studios-per- haps more as they were in days gone by. Heterogeneous Collection For four days each year, artists, or anyone who fancies himself an artist, may display his wares on the walls and along the sides of the street. And what a display! It was a heterogeneous collection of everything that could possibly come under the heading of art. It so happens that the Via Margutta is directly behind the famous street of the an tique shops so that the backs of their buildings face the Margutta. But instead of dirty windows, rubbish and custom ary refuse of back doors, the owners have opened onto the street great picture windows displaying, thereby, their fur niture and objects of art. As for everything occurring in the evening, the Italians turned out en masse, and with two other women, one of them a French person who had her little dog with her, we wound our way in and around the crowds, trying to take in everything we oould. Occasionally we lost one an other, and at one point, some one stepped on the low little dachshund and he yipped, which caused the French woman to lose her temper and loose a volley of Francese onto the bystanders. Wonderfully Interesting I don't know anything about art. I only know what I like, and I didn't like much of what I saw. Perhaps there was too much, but nothing on the street looked as good to me as some of Eugene Bennett's or Robert Bos worth's. Some of the paint ings in the studios were won derfully interesting. For more interesting to me than the paintings, was the Via Margutta itself. Had I an artist's aptitude and urge, I would have attempted to re create the scene-a vista of the long narrow street, old lamps of wrought iron hanging from walls, the numberless heads peering at, and studying art efforts. I would have includ ed (but they couldn't have been seen, really) the poor artists themselves squatting beside their creations. Alas, I have no talent, and-no in clination. Finally at 11 o'clock we staggered to the end, and went to eat our dinner at Otello's, the outdoor restau rant of my choice. Bracciano Exhibit At any rate there are lots of people interested in being painters in Rome. And that is not all the artists here about. Sunday we drove to the ancient town of Bracciano to see another exhibit. Here the paintings were to be of the town, or surrounding countryside, and there were artists of many countries -even the United States. The paintings were dis played at the old lMh century castle which dominates the town - on an outside wall. Even without the Inducement of art-to climb to this story book castle, perched on top of the town with the quaint, crooked streets, on a sunny summer afternoon - was un adulterated pleasure -the green gardens, the numerous people strolling about, or sit ting on the grass, the trip through the castle, the view from the turrets. Orchards and Farms Down below the hill were olive orchards, little farms with curious neatly piled hay stacks, and on a bit farther, a lake, busy with water ski ers, motor and sailboats and Bridge Winners Are Announced North-south winners for the weekly session of Medford Duplicate Bridge club were headed by Mrs. Frank R.
