Because the calcetto tournament and road race weren't enough, this was also the weekend of the musical festival AND Corpus Domini.
Different musical groups perambulated to 17 different locations and played mini-concerts all Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. We will also have a battle of the bands in the Piazza Tuesday evening; I can't wait!
We had a combination of singers, dancers, and other performers throughout the day. The spaces were as varied as the ballroom of the Palazzo Pensi, the cisterns, and little courtyards in town.
