The last 2 pics are in Piazza del Duomo first the student assistents at the festival looking like they're sitting on a bus! Last, I treated myself to an iced coffee at the Bar dei Portici while listening to a soprano on the main stage. (I am such a culture vulture!   ) |
That arched walkway has a very ornate ceiling, and I bet people walk through without looking up at it.
