As this was the first full day here, we spent the day in Spoleto. In the morning we had a private visit at city hall and learned about the city. Sounds boring but it wasn’t. A council member in charge of education here told us about the schools, for example.
Next was my favorite part: the theatre in Spoleto! We went to the old theatre ( smaller) & the new theatre. Stages were raked. There were really fun pictures of productions over the years. In the new theater a terrace was named for Jerome Robbins. Woody Allen had directed an opera in Italy so they had his picture on the wall. And John Malkovich participated in one of the Spoleto festivals. It would have been special to see a performance here, but it would have been in Italian so I’m not sure we could have enjoyed it. I have many more pictures than the ones I have posted here.
The group had a walking tour in the afternoon, but given that we walked the entire morning. I decided to skip that. I understand I did not miss too much.
Our dinner tonight was over-the-top spectacular. The food on this trip has been excellent. But of course way too much food. And too late at night for my taste.But it’s Italy after all.
