you remind me to so many years ago...my first trip to italy. i was walking, then stopped outside the entrance, to a little local, nondescript chapel. i stepped inside, only to discover the most incredibly beautiful and delicate fresco, there, on a wall, no guards, no fee, no museum, no person. i could have wept for all the beauty. for months afterwards, i wished only to have been born in italy. one never gets over birthright. so many injustices.

ps it is the color of royalty, after all. for further reference, see: palazzo pitti, near the boboli gardens
make sure you see the Fra Angelico Fresco's at saint marco convent-incredible.
