Picture: Italy: Grand Canal of Venice

This was taken right before sunset in February of 2009. Luckily, because it was winter, the city was not at all crowded.

Picture: Italy: Moon Over Montefalcione

Taken in Montefalcione, AV, in March 2009. The moon is very small, but it can be seen clearly in the top-center of the picture.

Picture: Italy: Ferrara: Girolamo Savonarola

He is demonstrating some Renaissance-era hand gestures

Picture: Parma Cathedral: Lit-up picture

This is more of a modern take on these portraits, as it is lit both around the head and from below the feet.

Picture: Parma Cathedral: Chapel with Circular Picture of Christ

This chapel features a large picture centrally.

Picture: Parma Cathedral: Chapel with Statues

This chapel is heavy on the statues and also has a red-black color scheme.

Picture: Parma Cathedral: Black - Gold Chapel

This chapel had a fairly detail-rich picture in it. I also liked the black columns on either side of the painting.

Picture: Parma Cathedral: Blue - Gold Chapel

This chapel has a blue and gold theme going. 

Graffiti: Bologna: Lo Gnomo

The gnome is just hanging out on top of another tag. On closer inspection it seems that he has no hands, or they may be stuck in his pockets. I came across this picture in September of 2008 while walking out to San Luca under the porticos.

Graffiti: Bologna: Pompadour Kid

This guy is everywhere in my section of town. I have taken to calling him 'the pompadour kid' for lack of a better name. 'angry Calvin' is another one that I use to describe the picture. This is a smaller version than some of the other ones aroundbut I liked the background when I took this picture in October of 2008.
