Worthy of a Roman coin.

Italy's Giorgio Chiellini

Chiellini was bitten by Uruguay's Luis Suarez during their World Cup clash.

Italy lost to Uruguay by 1 bite.

Ensconsed in a Bulgari necklace!
What ?? Biting??

We were just in New York City! All the cabbies were so wonderful and so excited about the World Cup! Could we just get that spirit and get all the countries who are friends during the World cup to stay that way?

these wars are just tragic for everyone.......EVERYONE!!!

It is monstrous. And history will say so.

I just heard on NPR: "What? Biting?? If we Americans had known there was 'biting" we would have been paying attention long ago to soccer!!!

Funny!!!

ps my client is an ER nurse.....they couldn't figure out why there were NO patients one day!

World Cup! No one came into the ER!!

Amazing!!!

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
