... come to fruition, or if people have a miraculous escape from a life-threatening situation, they 'thank' our Lady with a small offering (see pics). It is truly inspiring.
Onward we drive on the a4 and the a13 to Bologna. Lunch was on the autostrada - a meal deal like the golden arches but with pizza. The view from the car is flat -land, not very pretty - no animals and no crops. Our only purpose in coming here is to see the Ducati factory and museum, so ...

As we turn and head back out, the bloody gates have shut us in. We **** ourselves laughing as by this time; once again we are running on adrenalin.
