But perhaps I should begin with the people I meet here in this city I love so well.
Yesterday Hanna and I spent the day with Francesca. We were putting together a project I have in mind and Francesca had kindly agreed to come along and translate. She just fitted right in as we wandered and worked our way through the day. Mille grazie, Francesca. We had the most excellent time.
And in-between meeting the people we needed to meet, she introduced us to parts of the city we wouldn’t have known about and wouldn’t have dared enter.
Thanks to Francesca, we were able to wander the halls of this grand old house and voila, there was this room, puppet-show in place ... but of course.
There are always these unexpected magical moments here in the ancient city, also called La Superba ... It is also called la Superba - the Superb one - due to its glorious past.
