Tried a Zucca during appertivo. Was AT Zucca so felt obligated. Rhubarb liquor and soda is not my thing.

Kind of feel like Quasimoto (sp?) - sitting on the roof of the Duomo watching the tourists go by. More angels than gargoyles though.

Finally found a worthy souvineer for me and the folks back home - tomato paste in a tube is .95 euros vs. 5 dollars I pay at Whole Foods. On a spending spree at the supermarket. Better there than at Armani!

Passed a street sidewalk fair on Corso Garabaldi. Funny how they are the same everywhere. Same goes for Princi. Tried to get into two and they were packed!
