Bacio

Now that I have some time to catch up……

Last Wednesday I went to Perugia. And I know that me saying “It may be one of my favorite cities in Italy” is getting kind of cliché, but it is really true. Perugia is somewhat like Siena in that it is about the same size. However, it is minus the tourists. But plus the chocolate. Perugia is home to the world-famous Perugina chocolate. Perugia also seems to be the one of the largest but most authentic italian cities that we have visited. I would highly recommend a visit there if you have the opportunity.

A view of the hillside and the sprawling city of Perugia.

The Mini Metro. Designed by Jean Nouvel. This was a really neat project. It was scaled perfectly to the city. It was really nice to see a local rail system that was not over designed or overly scaled. There was big enough to be comfortable, and small enough to not overly compensate for their population.

Aldo Rossi. Possible one of the ugliest most disgustingly bare buildings I have ever been to.

Overall, The semester is really starting to wind up, and the last few projects are starting to creep up. And as a consequence,posts may come farther between. Although for the rest of the semester I still have a trips remaining to Tivoli, Montepulciano, Villa Lante, and Cinque Terre. That is all before the semester ends.
