Friday August 15th, Villa Casamanza, Nr Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Last full day and my regular combination of study and art! Most of the morning was spent on an article on Galileo and Scripture, which was very interesting. This also suggested a possible MSc thesis on the alternative ideas on "proof" in astronomy for Galileo and Kepler. Galileo was much more linked with Aristotelian ideas, while Kepler was more of a free spirit.
Late morning into Perugia for the last time. Spent a couple of hours visiting the National Gallery of Umbria to cover the remaining exhibitions over the above the Pintoricchio exhibition that I saw earlier in the week.
And a nice hour spent in a cafe having some lunch and reading the English papers
Anna and David came round late afternoon to bring me four bottles of their own olive oil. They left just as a huge rain storm broke overhead. Thunder and lightning and really heavy rain for 90 minutes and the last chance of a swim gone.
Everything packed up then now into the Land Rover, ready for a 7:00am departure for the UK. Home on Tuesday night, hopefully
