ReplyDeleteYour new header makes a beautiful intriguing picture. Happy New Year to you, Gattina, and thanks for sharing such key moments in your part of the world. The flea markets amid artistic old buildings make quite a contrast, as does the World Exhibition art that looks modern considering the year it was created.
