Milan, Italy - July 20th

In class today, we had a lecture on Italian music. Basically they make horrible covers of American music, make music similar to ours, or just listen to ours. A few artists such as The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan performed a song or two in Italian themselves.

After the lecture, we walked around and did some shopping until it was time to meet up again to go to Pinacoteca di Brera, an art gallery which Napoleon established as the Louvre of Italy. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside, but we were able to see "The Lamentation over the Dead Christ" by Andrea Mantegna, "The Kiss" by Francesco Hayez, "The Marriage of the Virgin" by Raphael, "Supper at Emmaus" by Caravaggio, and countless others. My only complaint about it was we did not have enough time to go back through and spend more time appreciating the masterpieces.

Back at the dorm we had leftovers from the night before.
