So here are a few pictures of “Under the Duomo” all of which are labeled in Italiano so I have no clue what they really are. I do however have a skewed sense of humor, so while I mean no disrespect to the wonderful history, workmanship, and preservation of such works, well, I’m just ….. me. Here we go – my descriptions will follow each picture (or you can spare yourself and just look at the picture).
This appears to be an important marker, probably Royalty of someone of the Peerage – but I just don’t know. It is just very impressive and arresting to gaze at.
Another ornate beauty.
This I am assuming is a keepsake box along side chain-mail – what’s left of it. Fascinating to view.
Here’s a handy weapon don’t you think? I probably couldn’t lift it. I definitely wouldn’t want to “run” into this on a dark night – or knight for that matter!
In the middle is an ancient rosary. I will spare you my commentary on the other two items. But please feel free to crack yourselves up! I know I did.
I thought this was interesting although again I have no idea what the significance is except for my fascination with the artistry.
This was at time a complete floor. It’s amazing that it’s lasted over so many years. I will stop here with the comments as I’m afraid I’ll get goofy(er).
Another beauty. It appears special as it has it’s own stand.
This was my favorite and I can tell you the picture absolutely doesn’t do it justice. All the textures, colors, and the workmanship. Very impressive
.
This was kind of creepy so I thought it would be perfect for Halloween when this will come out.
So I think that’s it for “Under the Duomo” There will be more to come in a day or two. Stay tuned, there is still so much we have to share – including some cool videos.
Ciao,
