| Yes, it DOES take up the entire street |
Today and tomorrow, our only road into town will be blocked in order to permit the installation of a rather large "gru" ("crane", which will be used for working on a beautiful palazzo in town). We deliberately chose the bar for our mid-morning coffee to give us front-row seats to the event.
First, the large mounting crane came all the way up to Piazza Jacopone to turn around. It was accompanied by another huge truck carrying the tubular vertical components of the to-be-installed crane. We missed much of this event, but we did get to see the final part put in.

Jeremy reported that they were installing the counterweights later today, so we're not sure what they have to finish in the morning. I think I know where we'll be having our coffee!
Love,
Alexandra
