In a Springtime I had the opportunity to meet my niece, Melissa Jill, while she was studying in Florence. Her program consisted of painting, art history, Italian and wine-tasting. In order to test her skills we went to many museums and then we did a wine-tasting tour of Tuscany.
Till this point, I had only seen Siena Cathedral in my Gombrich text book. To be in-situ was truly divine!
