Dogma

I arrived in Italy in the evening yesterday so I didn't get a chance to see anything around town. But today, Monica gave me a tour of Bergamo. We went to Upper Town and saw a gorgeous church, the Colleoni Chapel. This chapel is a shrine where the famous military leader, Bartolomeo Colleoni, and his horse, are buried. Monica told me that there is a legend that Bartolomeo had three testicles. She said that the paint has been rubbed off of this part of the fence because if you rub this area, you will have many children.

Then we had really great coffee, called a Marocchino. This is chocolate powder, a shot of espresso, topped with foamed milk.

Next we ate lunch at the grocery store and did some shopping.
