last pix of Bologna

(click to enlarge) countless arcades

 brickwork detail on a cloister wall

a rather full hardware store

Raphael's Saint Cecelia with her instruments and fellow saints - and Mary Magdelane - with angels reading music above

gorgeous Madonna with baby and sparrow by Il Guercino, 1615

medieval vistas everywhere

the Fountain of Neptune by Giambologna - end of the 16th Century - and ramparts

And now for something completely different: Morandi - landscape

an "hommage" by a British artist called Tony Cragg, 1999

Why do these paintings make my heart ache?

On the way home, passed this grocery store - selling, it seems, oranges, bananas, and wine.
