Ogni Santi
... houses from the outside very colorful. It just gives such a nice feeling to the city. Of course there was a dome, and it was pretty, but only from the one side. Because in history once they didn't belong to Italy. So they built their dome in a way, that when the italians come from the south they would see some beautiful, marvelous building. Later when the town got more important for the catholic church, meaning the ...
A day of cold and hot
... then come out above and looking back it’s like a sea in the sky. To the East I can see the road over the pass to which I was just riding.
After 15 minutes I step out the car and onto the mountain of ice. The whole place is a mass of white snow and ice.

No marmite, just rain

Otzi the Iceman
... a recently missing climber. Each person brought on board revised the date of death back a few centuries, until it was confirmed that Otzi died around 5300 yrs ago. There was a tussle between countries, until Italy claimed Otzi by proving that he was found 96m inside their border, a precise figure. The museum is very interesting, somehow they have filled 5 floors with information and background, including the loopy letters ...
