Legend says the rain stops falling, the clouds clear and the sun comes out when San Crescentino’s image is carried outside the Duomo in Urbino.

My throat started feeling scratchy and my voice was slowly [...]
“Excuse me, dove…dove…St. Peter’s Basilica?” With imploring faces, the American family, fanny packs and all, was asking me for directions! This was the highlight moment of my first trip to Roma. By week two, I had on my new Italian skirt, earrings, shirt, sunglasses and Old Navy flip-flops. As I gave them directions, I was [...]
Outside the Duomo, or Cathedral, I saw one of Urbino’s dogs patiently waiting for its owner. As I passed the faithful companion and entered the church, I was struck by the pure grandeur of the building. The elegance of this massive holy place is astounding.
