Infinite Italy: Milan > Bologna > Florence > Pisa.

From the Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Piazza Del Scala, the Duomo, the Palazzo Realle (Royal Palace), the Navigli District, Museo del Novecento, Cadorna, Parco Sempione, the canals, apertivos, and luxurious fashion of Milan... to Protello, the San Francesco Cathedral late-night stooping, gramigna at Fantoni Trattoria, Amaro Del Capo at DeMarchi's, Italian lessons with Leone, Via Rizzoli, San Petronio Basilica, the 'twin' towers, Manifattura Delle Arti, MAMBO: Contemporary Art Museum, the Cineteca, Gamesh Music Club, Tamburini, CouchSurfing parties, and university life (home of the oldest university in the world) of Bologna... to the Galleria Degli Uffizi, Pino's Salumeria Verdi, bi-daily gelato, secret bakeries, outdoor concerts, all-nighters, the Duomo, Galleria d'Arte Contemporanea, Galleria Dell'Academia, Michelangelo's 'David,' Ponte Vecchio, the River Arno, Piazza della Signoria, Santa Croce, and the Medicci Chapels of Florence... to the leaning tower of Pisa...
my fourth tour of Italy was just as incredible as the past visits!

And, as fulfilling as it is to go to Italy, I am already looking forward to my return... Perhaps I won't be totally satisfied until I have a chance to live there for a while... to endure and melt into the lifestyle!

These are (some of the) photos from my recent motherland roundabout...
