In-between all the globetrotting, some things need to be done at home, as well. Such as asking the test crew to evaluate the cat-proofness and hair-repellence of a potential new bedspread fabric. I must have forgot to mention its ultimate purpose, as it is currently used as a sumo wrestling tatami.

Saint Bartholomew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, and the story goes he was skinned alive. With a sensation that something was clearly wrong, I stared at this statue for quite a few minutes before realizing that he was not wearing his skin – he was carrying it wrapped around his arms – holding his hand in the most gruesome way possible.

Especially the hidden gems of Brera art district and the lovely Il Bar on the top floor of la Rinascente, with sweeping glass-roof views of the Duomo lit by night.
