Giovanni, to me, this morning in Brescia:

Man, I’m taking you to the café where I always go for breakfast.

Saturday markets in Piazza della Loggia.

Porticoes.

Duomo of Brescia. Note the original, medieval duomo (the duomo vecchio to the right).

Café/winebar Vineria Dolcevite (get it? dolce vite means sweet vine).

Fresh-squeezed blood orange juice.

Piazza della Vittoria. Note the marble podium, left, where Mussolini delivered his speeches here.

Wonderful examples of fascist-era architecture (which I happen to like).

Thanks again for everything, dude! Ti aspettiamo nel Texas.
