while I have nothing better to do...

While I have nothing better to do with my arm in a sling (Susan's gone off on her bike to water the land), a quick note in response to a comment from Ralph in California. This the Campanile in Ponzano Superiore, about 50 yards from our house.

At the bottom you can see a bas relief of St. George killing a dragon. The wall is the oldest part of the village, and formed part of a castle wall once. St. George was the patron saint of the Genoese, who built this castle.
