A VT meeting in Bassano del Grappa (IT).

Santi; VTer Redang came back to northern Italy, so it was a good  opportunity to meet him. We agreed to meet in Bassano del Grappa. This is a nice town not OriettaIT) for a meeting. I invited to this meeting my friend Patrizia (VT member WXWXR) If you don't know what VT is please see; www.virtualtourist.com

One of the highlight of Bassano del Grappa is this bridge which crosses the Brenta river. In the late 1500 it was designed by Andrea Palladio; a famous Italian architect. Already in the 1200 a bridge existed on that place. Later it collapsed various times and after its destruction in the WWII war it was rebuilt according the original plan of Palladio.

The weather wasn't fine. It rained almost all day.

After lunch we had coffee (or something else; herbal tea or a soft drink) at a beautiful cafe. Here's Orietta.

Here's Dave (VT member painterdave).

This is part of the town hall with a loggia and the clock.

We went inside the oldest bakery in Bassano, because one of us liked to buy some bread.

Four of us on the bridge. The fifth; Orietta was taking the pic.

I don't know why somebody wanted to take a pic on this road.

These are Orietta's shoes.
