Milano

A group of my friends and I went north this weekend to visit one of Italy's most "industrial" cities, Milano. We went to celebrate Amelia's 21st birthday, but happened to stumble upon Fashion Week without even realizing we had booked our trip for the same weekend all the fabulousness was taking place…I was drooling over the accessories & shoes all weekend while trying to capture as much as I could on my camera (post to come!). We absolutely loved Milan – how can you not? It's home to Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Tods, and da Vinci's Last Supper. It's also Italy's second most populous city, after Rome. Enjoy my photo diary!

The Papa

Wednesday morning we had the pleasure of crowding into St. Peter's Square in order to catch a glimpse at Pope Francesco and hear the papal address. We caught more of a glimpse at the "Big Guy" and were all in awe, along with the hundreds of other locals and travelers. It was beyond humbling to hear his blessing in so many different languages, surrounded by people from all over the world, especially Argentina, in the middle of Bernini's masterpiece that is St. Peter's piazza. 

 

After seeing these cheerful angelic brides, we were starving so headed off to find lunch!

realizing how strong Limoncello actually is…

After plates of clementines, cookies, and finishing off our vino, we said ciao & grazie to Mario and continued to explore Roma.
