We started working on the fresco painting in class. It looks like it will take a long time because of the detailed and complicated patterns, but I am looking forward to its completion.
授業でフレスコ画に取りかかりました。細かくて複雑な模様で時間がかかりそうですが、完成が楽しみです。

A famous panini store. There was a huge line of people waiting to get in. I was hungry after class, so I finished the panini with a big portion.

My first oil painting in my life. All the tools were provided, and if I needed more, I would buy them. I chose the Arno River as my subject matter.
人生初の油絵。道具などは全て揃っていて、もし足りないものがあれば買い足します。自分で撮ったアルノ川を題材に選びました。

Pizza dough was on sale at the supermarket, so I bought it without a second thought. I put some ingredients on it, baked it in the oven, and ate it. It was very delicious.
スーパーでピザ生地が売っていたので、思わず購入。ありあわせの具材をのせて、オーブンで焼いて食べました。とても美味しかったです。

When I stopped by a bookstore near the school, I found a lot of Japanese manga in the manga corner. I was happy to see that they seem to be popular in Italy as well.

ArtVisit took us to a Renaissance aristocrat’s mansion. The rooms were beautifully decorated and furnished as they were in those days.

Fiesole, recommended by our interpreter, is the end of the bus route and has many old ruins.
通訳さんのオススメで訪れたFiesole。バスの終点にあるところで、古い遺跡が沢山残っています。



Inside the ruins of Fiesole. A Roman temple. The ruins are located on a hill, so the scenery and air were very beautiful.
Fiesoleの遺跡内。ローマ時代の神殿。高台にある遺跡なので景色も空気もとてもきれいでした。
