Here's a few more odds and ends (mostly the former) from our short vacation...
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan...the mother of all shopping malls, if by shopping you mean Prada, Gucci, Hermés and so on...
The great hall of the National Film Museum of Italy in Torino...
Dream house on Lake Como...
In Milano, even the Central Station is monumental...and crowded...
Me on a bridge over the Po river (always good for a laugh, "Po" meaning "butt" in German)
Vertiginous view from atop Torino's Mole Antonelliana...
"Milk loves Plazma cookies" ... Serbian banner ad.
Stylish (water?) tower in Milano.
You gotta love a cathedral with a Samsung ad on it...
