the descriptions here indicate that this was Gaudi crowning achievement. This house was created for a wealthy family. You will notice his tendencies to reject straight lines, and his multiple references to different forms in nature.

When Augustus Caesar finally took control of Egypt, Rome decided to use the Egyptian alligator and palm trees to represent the Roman empire. In the 1500s the mayor of Nimes requested from Rome permission to use the alligator and the palm trees as the symbol of the city.
This is a nice small town. Where are you can stay if lake Garda is too expensive for your taste. It’s a short train ride from the lake and also not too far from Verona.

Torino is known for the rename of a Ford model “Grand Torino” (Clint Eastwood movie as well), but also for the Shroud of Turin. It is a city of big, long buildings laid out in a very orderly fashion according to some grand plan, not like a city built around a medieval castle or town. What it does have is a nice collection of Egyptian artifacts you will see in another phlog and cheap, tasty pizza, at Mister Pizza, 6 Euro or slightly more. The name sounds like a franchise but this is a nice, family run parlor with surprisingly nice/spicy flavors.
