One afternoon last month, we stepped from the noisy bustle of Palermo’s Via Maqueda into the quiet hallowed space of a Baroque chapel where I sketched and we drank in the restorative architectural beauty and the deep resonance of centuries of use.

I could have worn these sneakers with that skirt to our “dinner and a (live theatre) show” last week, but you probably agree that the combo skews too casual-quirky.
