I have the incredible opportunity to visit Milan and Rome with my husband who will is going on a business trip.
I will be leaving in about a week and would like suggestions from my medievalist friends for places I must see that might not be listed in the guidebooks as Things To See.
I have booked a walking tour of St. Peter's Basilica so that I can see where Charlemagne was coronated. I also hope to visit a hotel and two bed and breakfasts that are named after either Ludovico Ariosto or Matteo Maria Boiardo's masterpieces.
Any other suggestions?
Essays and travelogues about Medieval France and Italy, focusing on the legends of Charlemagne as well as an occasional post on anything else that strikes my fancy.

Diva Dare Tour in the Wine Country
This post is a test case using my iPad and trying to upload pictures with this portable device. Hopefully the formatting will look similar to posts created on my home computer.
Last week my friend Patricia V. Davis appeared at Copperfield's Book Store in Santa Rosa to promote her new book The Diva Doctrine
Here we see Patricia with her husband Pete at a table filled with luscious treats for the attendees.

Her book came about due to a blog post she wrote that went viral. Her "From an Older Woman to a Younger Woman" post was reposted onto hundreds of websites and translated to foreign languages as well. The Diva Doctrine expands upon those principles that struck such a nerve with wit and wisdom.
Patricia introduces Linda Loveland Reid and Kate Farrell who gave a humorous reading of advice from Older Women to Other Older Women.

The audience loved it. Thankfully it was captured by a videocamera and will hopefully be uploaded to Youtube in the future.
