While enjoying our morning coffee at Pianegiani, Michael and I were fortunate enough to see an Enel "truck" drive up and park. Enel is the local electric utility. Before I knew that something cute was going on, the workers had already put on their cute hardhats (that resemble caving hats) and safety harnesses, and had tilted the hydraulic lift that holds the ladder onto the van. Sorry I was slow!

| Selecting the desired ladder |

| Putting the unwanted ladder back |
 |
| Up it goes! |
After they had the ladder, they trundled up the street carrying it and not much else. I followed them eagerly to the alleyway just up Pianegiani, and found them again just in time to see them levelling their ladder on the steps...it obviously has feet that can be extended separately.
 |
| Level! |
 |
| Extending... |
 |
| A little more... |
 |
| There we go! |
 |
| Climbing up |
 |
| And...harnessed safely to the unsecured ladder, ready to work! |
At that point, I sat back down to my coffee, now cooled down.
Love,
Alexandra
