A Side Trip to Rosazza

Leave a comment

Just up the road (the windy windy road) about 12 or 15 km from the Villa Emma is Rosazza, a beautiful little Italian town in the mountains, exuding a simple rustic life.

The Fiat 500 (nero of course)

We went for fun.  Here is what we saw.

Dead people by a river in small dead people compartments.

 

Then one of the very old Austrian towers (with eagles even).

The town is magical and midieval.  Photographic evidence is sparse.

You have to walk the narrow maze of streets without a plan or a map.

Roofs are slate (or maybe that is granite).

Chimney engineering is, um, interesting.

 

As you can see from the clock, it is time for a Negroni.  So cross the foot bridge.

And here you are Auto Bahn.

Cin cin!

 

 

Greetings From the Bronze Age and Beyond

The Museo Archeologico on Cagliari (Sardegna, Italy) is well worth a quick visit.

The Museo Archeologico is situated on the castle hill

In the Paleolithic, fat was “in.”

In the Bronze Age, everyone had a bronze axe. We would imagine that bronze axe heads were the moral equivalent of the smart phone.

A stack of axe heads

A stone cast

Everyone also had little bronze guys to play with.

Your army awaits

One of many attractive displays

The rich kids had really big bronze guys.

Then came the Romans and their heads

In these pictures, a statue wonders about its sexuality.

Non-binary?

Hmmm

About the only thing the Museo could improve is to open up their wifi to all. Really, in 2017 if you want the ragazzi to come, you need wifi.
