I hate touching it, not because it is a skull, but because it gives me an immediate olfactory memory that is so …hospital.

I had kicked myself for not buying this back in the Fall, but —woohoo— it was still at Di Tutto Di Piu’.

Half-off!

The real version, designed by Andrea Palladio.

We stopped for coffee at ‘Pane e Aqua,’ just outside the gate from Rossana Orlandi.

San Michele, with a stunning painting of four saints by Filippino Lippi (who won my heart in Rome with his works in Santa Maria sopra Minerva).




The Duomo.

The Duomo houses a fantastic Ghirlandaio (not a great repro).

‘Pisan Style’ facade.

Carved into the wall at the entrance.


The torre of the Palazzo Guinigi.

L’anfiteatro, backfilled.
We did not do justice to Lucca with our photos.





















We did not take these photos (we lifted them from Josh).
