| This silver altar was in the Duomo museum and it is something that is better to see in person because of the details, which remind me of the miniatures I loved as a kid. |
Probably an art history course could spend one class on each panel.

| Maybe that is where Mr. Rogers go the idea for the Land of Make Believe. |
I ate pasta and pizza and had some wine, but I think the best food was the fried zucchini blossoms. And Italian plums. Sorry I forgot to take any gelato pictures.

ReplyDeleteThe details on the altar are amazing! I wonder if I ever had that level of patience.
Wait maybe that's not endive that I'm thinking of. But I've definitely had it in salads... maybe. I've seen it listed as an ingredient on menus!
