Piazza Maggiore





From the Asinelli Tower and grounded, sitting under Neptune.
The church itself is under total scaffolding, but unlike a much earlier trip with Annmarie and Cathy (where we were certain scaffolds were tagged to our destinations and grew to take it personally), these are now scanned full scale photographs forming the exterior surface.
Interesting but not quite the same.

While I was sketching from the tower a large group of children descended.
I was reminded of being in Egypt where I used to draw crowds of them, mostly they just wanted to touch me. These kids wanted to see the image come to life.
Bella, they repeated.
I'm pretty sure they meant the drawing.
