Last time we were here, "scotch" (said with an Italian accent) became a household word. That is the magical transparent tape that La Cleaning Lady used to hold everything together.
Well, today, Tricia and I visited San Filipo da Benizi at the bottom of the hill. As I wandered through the church, my attention was caught by a beautiful life-sized painted (presumably) hand-carved wooden Pieta. That's a statue of Mary holding Jesus' corpse and grieving.
Very touching. Really.
But then, I saw it: Jesus had clearly received damage at some point and been broken. His fingers are now attached with... scotch.
Love,
Alexandra
