My favorite language school has resumed classes this week and I’m very happy to be back.

You may have seen my earlier post about the palazzo in which my school is housed, in the Renaissance Palazzo Galli Tassi. On June 27 I first posted about it.

I learned 2 new verbs today,

and they are new additions to the Italian language as well. One is postare, which means “to post” and the other is zoomare, which I’m guessing you can deduce the meaning of! How funny they are.

Below, the marble statue group in the gorgeous old courtyard always catches my eye and my camera.

Back down in the courtyard, the 14th century capitals on the grand columns also caught my eye. The pins over them are pigeon deterrents.
