Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas

[Paullus Scipio]

You know, I've yet to visit an Italian museum where all the rooms or exhibits were open. It is very frustrating to travel from afar to find various rooms blocked off with the ubiquitous sign saying "chiuso per restoratio" - though of course that is usually not the real reason, as you say, it is far more often shortage of staff.....

Very much loking forward to more photos of your Italian sojourn....
