Pizza in the window

How to attract the Americans walking by? French fry pizza! It didn't work for me, it looked terrible. I had a salad, instead.

Bell of Santa Croce

Pardon my shaky camera. This is in back of the basilica, with no other people around.

I can't believe it's been nine years. This is the back of the basilica, where I happened to find myself after touring the basilica and the famous Leather School of Santa Croce. italyexplained.com/florence-artisans-the-santa-croce-leather-school It was charming to be all alone in an area free of tourists when the bell began to ring.

Diane Putnam has posted:

A beautiful latch on the parishioners' door*, Basilica of San Lorenzo. The others are "ghost" doors and windows on another building in Florence.

*Local people who come in to say prayers use this side door, rather than the main (tourists') entrance.

Alice Atelier, masks

Diane Putnam has posted:

I like the black leather masks best and, although I'm not a shoe nut, the tiny footwear was adorable. There is even a reflection of a masked figure with legs...a-hem.

Our friend, Peggy C, found this: alicemasks.weebly.com Grazie mille, Peggy!

Alice Atelier

Diane Putnam has posted:

The brochures were concerning a mask-making course by Prof. Agostino. Their website, found by Peggy C, includes a great video about the course: alicemasks.weebly.com/courses.html
(See PiP for a detail.)

Diane Putnam has posted:

Notables buried under the floor of Santa Croce cathedral. I suppose there is a record of who these people are. There were many more than I photographed. (See PiP for another scene.)

I'm amused to see this (very mediocre) photo was stolen for this website, www.mapio.cz/o/3037774 , discovered while trying to find the name of the gate.

Siena. I don't know what these small bridges between houses are really called! I also don't know whether they are for communal use, or do they connect two sides of the same family dwelling?
