Tonight we went out to a local restaurant for food, wine, spirts and Italian ice cream gelato. No pictures as did not bring camera, not sure if that was good or bad. We all had a great time and the waiters drove us back to Hotel. Next morning we were due up early to meet Fabio and Cristoforo at Bull bar opposite the Lamborghini Factory. Only just made it in time for start of factory tour as running late.

The entire floor of Siena’s Cathedral is in fact one of the most incredible works of art of all time: a spectacular inlaid marble mosaic floor, something described by Giorgio Vasari as "the most beautiful, largest and most magnificent floor that ever was made".
