You know you live in Italy when you get art and Verdi - no ticket needed - at the railway station.
At 10am we began another "estemporanea di pittura":

I have to admit to being awol a couple of times. Despite a drop of temperature of about 5 degrees it was still well over 30° in the piazza and simply too hot for me!
My contribution to the event is top left:

This artist was a delight, and her darling little son lasted the whole day, declaring, at 11pm as he snuggled into his mum's shoulder, that he was not tired after his 12 hour day!

*****
There really were two trains during the evening...

Imagine coming off the platform and having to negotiate this crowd with your suitcase in tow!

Of course there is always a tenor for my sogni...

and this time he sang with home town favourite, the internationally acclaimed Tania di Giorgio
who can be seen here singing Ave Maria in a local church.

Always a star and absolutely charming as well, her solos and duets were outstanding and the somewhat spartan and drab surroundings took nothing away from the quality of her performance.
Today I am grateful for Ibuprofen.
