2ヶ月かかってようやく出来上がりました!!グッドイヤー製法の靴の完成です。細かなキズはまだまだ気になりますが、やはり仕上がりを見ると感動です。

After 2 months of working on them, my Goodyear shoes are finally done! I don’t like little scratches here and there, but I’m really impressed to see the finished shoes!

仕上げの最後として、靴の周りを縫います。その時に縫い目が見えなくなる様に、このように本底に切れ目を入れて縫います。

To complete my work, I had to sew around the shoes. We cut a break on the back of shoe soles so these stiches become invisible.

アンジェロ先生にお手本で縫ってもらいます。ここは見える縫い目になるため、見た目にもよく注意が必要です。

Prof. Angelo showing us his stitching. Stitches here will remain visible, so they need to look beautiful.

アシスタントのイタリア人男性が誕生日ということで、みんな持ち寄ったお土産やケーキでお祝いしました。やはり靴コースのパテシエ、Joさんのケーキは絶品です。

We celebrated the Shoe class assistant’s birthday with a potluck party. Our patissier, Jo, made the best cake again!

1月から新しい生徒の皆さんも加わり、一層にぎやかになりました!!みんな聞きたい事だらけなので、アンジェロ先生は大忙しです。

The class now has new students just started this month, so it is very hectic and lively. Everyone has loads of questions, so Prof. Angelo is super busy!

冬休みの思い出から一部ご紹介します。友人とローマに行きました.今回はクリスマス前ということもあり、とても混雑していましたが、ヴァチカン市国になんとか行けました。

I went to Rome with my friend during winter vacation. It was really crowded because it was just before the Christmas, but we somehow managed to visit the Vatican City.

一つ一つの建物だけでなく、床や天井に至る全てが凝っています。いくらでも時間が過ぎてしまいそうです。

Other than buildings themselves, floor and ceiling also had precise artworks.

古代ローマ帝国ということで、無数の歴史的彫刻がありました。こちらはエジプトにゆかりがあったのか???理解するのも大変ですが、とにかく圧巻です。

There were so many sculptures from the ancient Roman Empire time exhibited. This one on the picture had something to do with Egypt, maybe? It’s hard to understand what’s exhibited, but I found them overwhelming.

こちらは絵なのですが、キャンバスに描かれたものではなく、巨大な布(織り物)です。

This is a drawing on a huge piece of textile, not on a canvas.

地図の間と呼ばれる長い回廊です。100メートルほどの廊下いっぱいに、当時描かれた地図が飾られています。個人的にはここが一番気に入りました。

This is around one hundred meters long hallway called the Hall of Geographical Maps. This place is full of old maps from a long ago. I personally like this place the best.

夕方のヴァチカン広場です。クリスマス前という事で、教会の前には長蛇の列が見られました。広場中央にはクリスマスの飾りがあります。キリスト教の方からすればメッカなんだと改めて感じました。

This is the Vatican Plaza in the early evening. Because it was just before Christmas, there were many people queuing up in front of the church. There is a Christmas tree in the middle of the Plaza. I could understand that this place indeed is Mecca for Christian people.

翌日はコロッセオに行きました。正面から見たコロッセオはとてつもない迫力でした。

We visited the Colosseum the next day. The front view was really stunning.

Masami ISHIZUKA_20170120_13
反対側から見たコロッセオです。一部は崩れてしまっていますが、そこが逆に趣があります。
ローマは、ルネッサンスのフィレンツェとはまた全然違う街でした。

And this is the back view of the Colosseum. It’s partially ruined, but that adds a nice flavor to this structure. Rome was totally different from Florence, the city of Renaissance.
