At least one definitively stands apart:


From a limited knowledge of the rest,
They likely remain works in progress.




Inside the Old Opera House

You would expect there to be a traditional exhibition,
Which is indeed what you get. At least, say, up the point
Of the carpenter’s chisel delving deep into the plywood,
Which is what you don’t see here in a translated brochure.

Some More of My Own Décollage

A treasure trove I found
On the far side of town.

Of two I am almost sure:
Yet there remain many more:

Found Art

When you are searching for art, of course,
It helps to know what you are looking for.
The family in the park could be a source
Of inspiration, say, were I a photographer.

But art, we found, can be a different sort.
Brought back to life with vibrant colors,
Branches strewn on the ground in assorted
Positions, their claims disputed by others.


Two further questions, naturally, have me stumped:
1) about this branch; and 2) about that earlier life sawed-off at ground level.

Found Art?

No Sign Yet of Ex Museo Civico

Which, according to our guide, could be up at La Rocca
Or, down below, somewhere around the Duomo.

Arriving from base camp by way of the moving stairs,
We stumble onto an exhibit that’s in the open air.


We know Piazza della Signoria well; have seen
In passing the paintings in Galleria poli D’Arte.

But we are surprised now by the outsider pieces and, when
We look back, amazed to find the frescoe we’ve never seen.

A Hearty Jaunt Up and Down

Like most things Italian, except for the trains, there is no roadmap nor timetable for the festival.
The closest they come: tiny pictures with the names of each venue, as seen on this card.
Except even the natives, stationed at the info centers, are unfamiliar with some of the sites or the designations.
So it’s been up and down, all around the town, for three days now: with some surprising discoveries along the way.

Art in the City

There have been previews before: the opening exhibit
Last week, as announced in the poster on the right,
And all the weekend festivals we’ve seen in the past.

But this one has a much more impressive billing.
Called “The First Annual International Festival,”
It promises, apparently, to be more enthralling.

La Foto Del Giorno

The photo of the day, according to the editors,
Is, per me, an invitation rather to a selfie of wit;
And, for that matter, a test drive of my Italian:

Something something September seems like the same something November. Yesterday, in fact, the webcam of Umbria Weather immortalized [recorded, I suppose] the first [snow, I’m guessing] on Mount Vettore.

About that time, a good laugh over Rebecca’s chocolate
Was shared by all. Then, the by-now familiar daughter
Kindly helped us both out with the daily Italian lesson:

Roughly, More like November than September these days. And
Yes, The first snow indeed was seen on Monte Vettore. Then
She and Rebecca went back and forth, filling in the magic

Of our stay: pensionato, ritorno a Spoleto, il cibo, and
Any other appropriate words that rhyme, say, with vino
To explain our enduring attraction to this tiny Italian town.

Moons

Though sometimes observed more in daylight or up close than at night.
