What they mean is it's too difficult to access without intellectual application and training.<br /><br />Not giving instant gratification why should they care if it falls off the walls and even the walls collapse. And they certainly couldn't care less about the music, the books, the insieme of the physical urban landscapes. <br /><br />Centuries - millennia - of cultural homogeneity being displayed? Best to ignore its destruction.<br /><br />Florence is carefully picking up anything that has fallen off and hoping for the best.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-8738946187515321192012-05-30T09:26:50.783+01:002012-05-30T09:26:50.783+01:00Didn't realise it was so bad.

Nothing has actually collapsed around here yet, but the devastation of some towns and villages north of Florence is complete in some places. The really bad stuff starts at Bologna but the schools and official buildings were emptied in Florence this morning.<br /><br />It puts worries about yields and spread into perspective.<br /><br />And I've spotted acres of cobwebs staring at the ceilings for signs of movement.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-82616193561151661712012-05-29T15:06:26.387+01:002012-05-29T15:06:26.387+01:00HG,

What is happening now is why. <br /><br />There are a lot of questions to be answered about the collapse of modern industrial units. The magistrates have already opened various inquiries.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-27806684356135059682012-05-29T14:48:45.801+01:002012-05-29T14:48:45.801+01:00Must be a very worrying time for you all.
