Pisa

The day before yesterday, we went to Pisa to visit the Palazzo Blu art gallery where there was an exhibition of art by the Futurists.  The weather was much better than forecast, and we were able to have our coffee and lunch outside.

The exhibition was fascinating, giving us an insight into this small band of Italian artists who had a big influence on the Fascist art of the '20s and '30s.

The Piazza dei Miracoli was glowing in the unexpected sun

Always time for a Cappuccino!

A well-deserved lunch ...
