Can't argue with Leonardo da Vinci! "There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see. ” If only we learned this early in life. Recently I saw a two-year-old pianist playing the piano. My sister saw a baby watching the keys go up and down. So I thought how different her world must be from mine. She would probably “see” if I “showed” her. (He is a little Russian boy named Gavriil Scherbenko.)

The bridge over the river Arno River.

I recognized it immediately,

and have walked there with my dad who is Italian.

I miss Florence .

They also sell nice yellow 18carat Italian gold jewelry on that Ponte Vecchio bridge.😊 At least they did last time I was there.

Thanks for sharing the story on your training there - it was something I was wondering about.

Leonardo is my favorite artist. I visited Florence in 2014. What an amazing city and experience. So wonderful that you got to study there. Loving this stack. ❤️

Luckily I had a father, pianist and graphic designer, who taught me to look always at least twice. It was also that which made me see Covid was a hoax. In the mean time I've learned that "better is the enemy of good". To name something...
