Sunday Stroll

Flea Market in Urbino: Military symbol from Venice

I was surprised to find Urbino's squares full of people on Sunday afternoon. I went down to write and observe in a quiet spot but found myself distracted by the flea market set up on tables in the street and day tourists that graced the shop doors. The specialized shops were closed as I had imagined, but the tourist shops were open for the surge of buses that brought visitors into town. The Raphael exhibit, which closes 12th of July after three months of display in the Duke's Palace or "Palazzo Ducale", remains a popular draw to outsiders in Urbino, the very birthplace of this honored artist.

History speaks to be heard


Parking your dog in Urbino is easy, here this cane happily waits for his master.
