Wow, it sounds like you had a wonderful time when you were there! Thanks for
posting the pic, and I hope you'll let us know when you have some others
posted in your web gallery.

My son's with a university program over there, though it's not a university
in and of itself. He's in the studio program at the Opera Theatre and Music
Festival of Lucca, which lasts for about a month. He's majoring in vocal
performance here in the States, so yep, he's very lucky to be able to
participate in the program, as well as having the opportunity to travel. He
rented a bike and said he enjoys riding on the walls ;-))
