These images are from a trip combining holiday with a cultural itinerary of our own planning. This type of pre-planning made it possible to apply for a grant from a foundation covering part of the costs for approved educational travel.
Our main goal was to visit the three North Italian cities of Verona, Padua and Venice. Many of the wayside places were also part of our program.
