Week 3 – Image 1

Groups chug up the hill emerging from the archway built when the Romans ruled Spoleto.  Young men with large, hand-crafted crosses around their necks followed monks wearing traditional robes held together at the waist by long cords entwined with rosaries.  St. Francis’ legacy in the flesh.  In the Piazza del Duomo the umbrellas at the café along the steps look like a Franciscan monk with his hood covering his head and face reminding me of the villainous characters in a Radcliffe novel.
