Whacky frescoes [20/09/10]

The old castle at Lurano is majesty and ancient beauty with some very whacky frescoes! Deep soft bed and antiquities, collections, books and books and books.
 Extraordinary age I cannot describe. But I'll try. The cellar looks like it was built on another castle. "The earth rises" says Lanfranco. How many centuries have filed marching and dancing with the turning circles of antiquity with the sun rising each day and leaving it's notch on the layers of history?
Alta bergamo the city on the hill, narrow streets, esoteric church of mystery and bibliotecia with coffee.
Sitting in the garden at Lurano watching the little dogs walking in and out of the castle doorways, recalling Lanfranco's wonderful account of Alta Bergamo history. Stand up walking pizza lunch and Federica not feeling the best we wandered up and in and out of narrow cobbled streets of history's wonder.
