...the relic shrine of the dome: beside other bodyparts the tong and the voice cords of Sant' Antonio di Padova are on display...

Next was the Orto Botanico: the deputy prefetto Mrs. Miola and the employees gave us a warm welcome.

The second-oldest tree in the garden (330 years old!) was dedicated as a Peace Tree!
