“The usual struggle squeezing my bloated CitroÃ«n, absurdly named â€œPicasso,â€ in or out of any old Italian town. I should be taking a year over this and doing it on a donkey. Eventually found the road to the church of the Madonna of San Biagio, a foursquare temple sitting all alone in the plain. Sangallo's fantasy of the Doric order in honey-colored sandstone, with shell-niches, rosettes, oculi under heavy entablatures.

I don't know why she did it. I've never seen her do it again.”
