Buongiorno! Last week I took a day trip to the neighboring town of Aversa and was able to take only a few pictures. Aversa is a really unique, small town full of cute little stores and cafes, and it is the home to an 11th century cathedral, or "duomo". Though we weren't allowed to take pictures of the church, I just had to sneak one in. The picture posted is the section of new reconstruction, but the 11th century part was absolutely amazing to see. Inside the old section, elevated on two blocks of wood, was a marble sculpture dating back to the 11th century. As our tour guide informed us, only in Italy can you walk up to an ancient piece of art and be able to touch it. Anywhere else it would have been guarded in a museum only to look at from afar.
