In ancient Rome, the laurel symbolised honour, achievement and virtue.
The Good Ancestor
“Waste no more time arguing what a good person should be. Be one.”Marcus Aurelius
The Romans built roads, aqueducts, cities and institutions they would never live long enough to fully benefit from themselves.
They understood that the greatest works are often those whose rewards are enjoyed by others.
Join us for a long lunch of Italian food, conversation and reflection on what it means to live well, to act with virtue and to leave the world better than we found it.
