Bob Koreis commented on a photo in To Ferrara

My wife and I spent the night in Este a couple of years ago. Very nice municipal archaeological museum with pre-history items from the area. But we weren't there on a market day. That looks wonderful.

Such great pictures! I’m so glad you had a good visit. I think walking around soaking in the atmosphere was the right choice for a short visit. I’m torn between nostalgia and jealousy looking at the city again. Lucky you!

I’m so glad you made it there, and at such a quiet time. Wonderful that you got such beautiful weather for it.

Wow! I am so looking forward to Venice, even though it will be the end of our long-awaited tour of northern Italy. I hope the cruise ship ban lasts until then!

Karystuds- maybe human pillars? You’ll have to join me on my next tour in Italy!

Glad to have a classicist following along to help explain Roman architecture. - not that I know what a Telekom is! What’s with the dog face??

I'm looking forward to reading about your whirlwind tour of Venice. I've booked two nights there.

It seems to me that you should test the tiramisu at as many restaurants as possible...just to be sure that Guido was correct.

You're right Suzanne - Villa Angarano. But, according to Wikipedia, the villa was "Originally conceived by Andrea Palladio around 1548 , only the side wings were built to a design by the famous architect. The central body is the work of Baldassare Longhena in the seventeenth century ." Still, it is listed with other Palladio villas as a world heritage site.
I'll have to go back to my other photos of the villa to check out the side wings!

That's what I was thinking Rich - that the GPS couldn't find the road and was just reading off the elevation of the hill/mountain side. Interestingly,. the RWGPS route gave me a huge peak going through the Taueran Tunnel when I went from Bad Gastein to Mallnitz but the ride elevation had leveled the peak thru the tunnel. Here, the peak was the same on the route and the ride.

I’ve had RWGPS show me those vertical climbs before. They’ve always turned out to be tunnels. Maybe that section under the rock overhang got interpreted as a tunnel?
