Only In Italy? A Complete Orchestra - Of Women Playing Harps
Posted by Our Main Posters
Complexity squared….
The venues are not given, but one looks like the La Scala Opera House in Milan, completely sold out. Actually, there are a few such orchestras elsewhere in Europe and in the US; in Italy they are thick on the ground.

Meredith’s Perugia #12: A Colorful Event Right Now That Meredith Might Have Loved

The flowering of the sunflowers. Il girasoli.
They are flowering right now all around Perugia, and especially to the west in Tuscany.
If you are not pre-warned and happen suddenly on one of these fields, you can drive right off the road, the visual impact is so great!

“We were not exactly given special treatment. I can’t see there was this anti-American thing.”...

Two typical summer scenes in Perugia. First posted last November, and still moving for the street theater that Meredith so looked forward to and saw so little of after she arrived in Perugia in the fall.
