I keeping with Grand European tour of providing interesting side tours along the way, we visit a small medieval town on our way to Venice. It is in Tuscany, just a few miles from "Bono's home and his 60 children", according to Ricardo. As mentioned earlier, when the Romans were nolonger safe because of the hairy "barbarian" invaders, they sought higher ground. Thus Sante' Gimignino still resting on top of a hill in what is now Tuscany. The village still has several narrow "skyscraper" apartments rising above the with narrow slits in the walls for former residents to peer through to remain vigilant against their enemies.
Joanne purchased five calendars with pictures of "David" for family, particularly August the artist, who will really be appreciative.
