Anne Rice

Anne Rice Instagram – This is @christopher.rice.writer. We’ve unearthed some wonderful family photographs in storage that have never been shared publicly, and I’m excited to start bringing them to you on the page. This is a collection of personal shots that were taken of Anne in the summer of 1996 in at the Hotel Danieli in Venice, Italy. We were on a lavish family tour of Italy to celebrate my graduation from high school. Anne was between the publications of MEMNOCH THE DEVIL and SERVANT OF THE BONES. I can’t remember another time when so many of us traveled together. The trip was full of magical moments. My grandmother, never a big classical music fan, was moved to tears by a Vivaldi violin concert we attended just steps from this hotel. And it was during this trip that the creative seeds were planted for VITTORIO THE VAMPIRE, a book for which we’d make a return trip to Italy in February of 1998, when the weather was far colder and the Arno River in Florence was threaded with ice. For those of who you read my first novel, A DENSITY OF SOULS, the Rome sequences were inspired by this trip as well. Anne was a fiercely generous person throughout her life who believed in spending the rewards of her success on those she loved. This grand tour was but one example. More photos and memories to come in the weeks ahead.
