Farewell Spoleto

Our last week in Spoleto has gone too quickly.  We've managed to see the last few things that we wanted to get to before we leave here tomorrow.  Yesterday we visited the Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna (the Gallery of Modern Art) with 15 rooms of 20th and 21st century art. A wide collection of sculpture, paintings, ceramics and audio-visual exhibits.

Next door is the Palazzo Collicola which has more artworks and the Noble Apartments which include furniture, renaissance, classical and modern art and sculptures, housed in rooms with ornately decorated walls and ceilings.





























After the galleries, we had a look in the nearby Chiesa dei SS. Domenico e Francesco with more frescoes and paintings as well as some lovely stained glass windows.

Then it was a pleasant, if hot, walk back to our apartment via Piazza Mercato and our favourite Porchetta Man where we bought roast pork for lunch.  The streets are narrow and they still manage to get a row of parked cars and the local Navetta bus through.  We have some lovely leafy streets near our apartment and we still marvel at the fantastic views as we walk around.


We are off to Rome tomorrow on the afternoon train and from there we'll fly to Dresden in Germany on Sunday.
