You know you live in Italy when you get art and Verdi - no ticket needed - at the railway station.

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!

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!

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

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.
