I spent the Easter of 2007 in the north of Italy together with Kurt, John Arild and Bjørn. We flew to Bergamo with Ryan Air. After a short stop there, we rented an apartment in Verona for two days. Verona has a Colosseum which is even older and better preserved than its counterpart in Rome. It also boasts of having the balcony of Juliet from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. After Verona we went to Padova to visit Giulia, a friend of Øystein which earlier has studied in Trondheim. We also met Matteo, who was staying in Øystein's apartment for one week during ISFiT 2007. The trip continued to Florence and Siena. Both of them are beautiful medieval towns with impressive cathedrals and Reneissance architecture. Of couse, we also consumed a great amount of excellent italian food accompanied by superb Toscana wines. [See the photos here]
