I can’t decide which I like better, Paula. I keep going backwards and forwards between them. I think maybe this one, but what a stunning piece. Is this in Vicenza? 🙂

Thank you very much, Jo 🙂 I have a nasty habit of putting all the relevant information in tags which also includes data on music ;). This is a fresco from the church Santa Maria degli Angioli in Lugano :). I wasn’t as mesmirised with the town itself mostly cause of horrible humid heat, but this church was well worth a visit. Dating to 15 century it hides the best frescoes in the whole of Switzerland. The painter was Bernardino Luini that learned from da Vinci.

P.S: these particular frescoes are the work of some less known artists from Baroque 🙂

I did think Lugano was a clue but I never read tags, Paula, and in this instance I was so busy going backwards and forwards I didn’t even get to the music. I shall do that now. I think you win this challenge hands down. 🙂

Sometimes I don’t understand WordPress, Paual, I missed this one in the reader and I wasn’t notified by mail. I’ll have to check my settings once more. Did you have good time in Switzerland, in beautiful Ticino? You have brought us a wonderful souvenir from Luagno; I love the way you have interpreted the challenge. I think I prefer to have to have the outsight on the landscape, but they are both magnifique.
Big hug ♥ to you my dear, I was travelling a lot lately, I have missed you.

Yes, well noted… landscape with a view into the other part of the church would have been even better, but it was not technically possible – it was a very confined space. We spent two days in Vicenza, then a week in a nice place closer to Switzerland border than the Lake Como from where we made trips to every part of Como Lake and to Lugano. I like Como so much more … Lugano in summer has a fowl smell :D. This church is the only place in the town I visited. Sometimes the heat makes me run away. I will have to save some money to visit Scandinavia in summer. After that we went to Verona (I booked a room in a nice estate above the city which gave us a bit of breeze but the town itself is insanly hot and humid.. still we managed to see some things). I hope you’ll show us the pics from all your recent travels. Big hugs to you, P. 🙂
