Much of my time at my two museum internships has been spent cataloging. At the Ranieri house we've been cataloging books that belonged to a women called Romeyne Ranieri Bourbon di Sorbello. She was the grandmother of the founder for the museum and is from America, but while traveling in Italy with her family met an Italian aristocrat and got married.
We have to update the museums website by Thursday or at least have drafts done we are going to meet up sometime this week and do so. I have to put together a Biography for Romeyne with another girl, and the two others in the internship are doing her son.
For the Fondazione Marini Clarelli Santi House we've been inventorying clothes, bed linens, and towels. We found a bunch of costumes last week for a 1700's style party, and a karate uniform from the time when Bruce Lee and karate films were huge!
I get to make up a program proposal for the Santi House, it's going to be a Victorian Era Tea Party for young girls, so that they can have fun while learning table manners of the day.
