maleborgia: (él que todo le temía)
Cesare's canon takes place largely in Pisa, where his university is, and so I might have convinced Dad that we needed to train over to Pisa for one of our two days in Florence without explaining why I wanted to go there so badly.

...This is the last one of these I'm doing, I swear. )
maleborgia: (is this what they mean by high culture?)
After Rome, I spent a couple of days in Florence, which is the city-state that owned the Pisa Cesare lived in. It's also where a bunch of his classmates are from, where some of the scenes are set, etc etc. There's not a whole lot here that super directly relates to him, but Pisa is Medici territory and I kind of love the Medici now thanks to his canon. Without further ado! )
maleborgia: (a most gallant man to behold)
After my semester in Spain, my dad met up with me and we went briefly through Italy and then up to Germany to visit with family. Rome! )
maleborgia: (a world in which he did not belong)
In May, I realized that my time in Spain was rapidly coming to an end and that I had not seen something that I really wanted to. You thought that I was only going to do two posts like this, didn't you. )
maleborgia: (para ti)
I'll post a link to my journal entry when I get it all written up about my trip to Viana, but here is the short version. Let's just say that Cesare died in the night between March 11th and 12th in 1507, just outside of the little town of Viana.

Guess which weekend was the only one I had no pre-arranged school trip on. )
maleborgia: (very young in all his actions)
So Wednesday night I realized that I could take an overnight bus to Gandía and see a statue of Cesare.

That was about all it took.

It turns out that Gandía has so much more, you guys. )
