Finally!

These decidedly lacklustre pictures are not as boring as they seem...on the contrary! The first is the notice put up on the front door at 11 Casato di Sopra, announcing to all and sundry that renovation work has started, and that the Architect Firm Ingeniu is in charge.

I arrived to have a look at the first day's work , and found that two chaps had already dismantled all the interior doors and built-in wardrobes etc. So as not to get in the way, I decided to decamp into the kitchen and try my hand at the view for the first time... The Torre del Mangia seems to be in competition with the leaning tower of Pisa... oh, well, there will be plenty of time to try again...
