So In two weeks time we are off to Rome via Veronica and Orvieto. I am excited to see the seat of roman power and the seat of papal power. yesterday was good, we went to La Lance for supper and had real pepperoni pizza. Today we were going to the Medici Palace but it was closed alas! So we went to the Chapel of the Princes and the New Sacristy in San Lorenzo. You can see the difference between the Duke's tombs which are monuments to the power of the Medici and then the simplicity of the old generation under Lorenzo the Magnificent. Then we went to see how they made stone constructed tables where they interlocked small pieces of semi precious and other stones to form seamless pictures. it was amazing!!
