Sanctuary...


Duomo, Milan, Italy

Seeking refuge inside the Duomo, it was at least quiet, and the complete antithesis of the rumpus outside. The hushed silence had a calming effect on everyone and the gentle droning of the priest conducting a service proved a very moving experience. Once outside again, we headed for the adjacent shopping centre, (Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle ll) where you look, but don't buy. It was a haven for photos, but still jam packed with people, some still with their placards. Out the other side we crossed to see La Scala Opera House. Very ordinary to look at during the day. Tonight's performance was of Tristran and Isolde...
