Notes On The Louvre
At places in the museum, there are a series of notes, giving details of the museum itself.
Notes On The Louvre
It is a good idea, that some museums in the UK could copy.
A Good Way To Show Small Paintings
I’ve never seen this done before, but it showed the small painting well.
A Good Way To Show Small Paintings
I’m sure many art galleries have lots of small paintings that are never shown and could benefit from a version of this technique.
The Milan Science Museum
This science museum, made ours in South Kensington seem particularly narrow in scope, very small and boring.
They also had no objections to the taking of pictures, providing you switched the flash off.
It was very busy with families and lots of kids.
One of the great things about a lot of Italian museums, is they seem to open early, unlike in some countries like Denmark.
A Rather Sorry Park
Outside of the main Turin Porta Nuova station, I found this small park.
It would have been a nice place to wait in the sun. But it was fully locked.
The Iconic FIAT Factory At Lingotto
The FIAT factory at Lingotto is best remembered in the UK for its appearance in the Italian Job. I just had to visit.
I couldn’t find out how to get on the roof to see where the Minis had outrun the Italian police, so I explored the rather boring shopping centre and then returned to the centre of Turin to catch my train to Milan.
Would I Go Back To Genoa?
Genoa was a total surprise and the icing on the cake, was the old city, with its Aladdin’s Cave for coeliacs.
I will definitely go back. It would be a very good starting point for a trip round Italy.
One of the great advantages is the lack of tourists. But sadly, they will discover it!
An Aladdin’s Cave For Coeliacs
I couldn’t believe it, when I saw this shop in the Piazza de Ferrari in Genoa.
Not for Genoa a small Free From section, but a whole shop.
As I’d forgotten my EatNakd biscuits, I stocked up for the journey.
Piazza De Ferrari
The Piazza De Ferrari is the magnificent main square of Genoa.
On one side is the Palazzo Ducale and there is a bronze fountain in the middle. The restaurant I visited is perhaps a hundred metres away and it has its own Metro station.
Aladdin’s Cave was at one side of this square.
The Palazzo Ducale, Genoa
I found the Palazzo Ducalle one of the most impressive buildings in Genoa.
I actually had my breakfast there, which included juice made from fresh oranges
Genoa Cathedral
Like most Italian cities, Genoa has an impressive cathedral.
It is in the heart of the old part of the city and is well worth a visit.
