My wife and I recently went to Milan and Florence to see the newly restored Last Supper and the Uffizi Gallery. The Last Supper was better than we expected it to be because they only allow you 20 minutes, but the groups were small and the lighting was good so you could take as many pictures as you wanted without crowds blocking your view.

The unexpected treat was at the Uffizi, where we were lucky enough to be there for the opening of the exhibition of Da Vinci’s unfinished masterpiece Adoration of the Magi. Because it was one of the last exhibits at the Gallery, if you started at the back like we did you had the exhibit to yourself. A very nice vacation.

The most magical trip imaginable. If I’d ever been willing to cross an ocean by air or boat, it’s the trip I would have dreamed of taking.

Wow. I missed my opportunity. I regret it and may never get the chance again. I stayed in a beautiful little town - Bergamo. A fortress city back in the day. I was visiting Agrate and our company was headquartered there.
