For the second day in a row I crossed the bridge onto terra firma. Yesterday is was to the supermarket Panorama & today a one hour train journey to Castelfranco Veneto. This is the birthplace of Giorgionne. I visited his house and saw the frescos he painted there and his altarpiece in the duomo of the Madonna and saints.
I walked around town, it felt good to get away from the sometimes claustrophobic atmosphere of Venice. Lunch was at a wonderful small trattoria next to the town walls. The young man who was the waiter served eleven tables promptly and efficiently, he was a joy to watch.
The clock tower in the city walls. There is also a moat around the outside .
