 On the second weekend off during the residency I took a trip to Italy. Well, Bolzano is in the Alps right over the summit from Austria, and although they speak Italian in town the people in the countryside speak German. I guess the area has traded hands over the millenia, but it's been part of Italy since after WW I. |

|
|
Therefore, the town is a hybrid of Austrian and Italian culture and architectural styles. |
|
|
|
|
 |
 Narrow streets in the old part of town offer specialty shops such as this fruit stand. |
|
|
|
|
Wood is used for special purposes, such as decks, windows and shutters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fountains and Trumpetvines are everywhere. |
|
|
|
 This castle is next to a park and has a large vinyard surrounding it.
|
|
|
Contrast between new and old design. |
|
|
|
|
 Arches join the buildings together stretching across cobblestone streets. |
|
|
|
|
Bolzano is simply amazing. |

 Back at school later that week I gave my artist talk presentation.
