Piazza Grande ~ Arezzo, Tuscany • click to embiggenWhile the wives were back at the ranch taking an Italian cooking class from our il Bacio hostess, my brother and I hung out at Piazza Grande in Arezzo. We were enjoying a light late morning breakfast - for me, a flat torta peach thing with a Compari soda - and watching a thunderstorm roll in.

Roll in it did and within nano-seconds of the first falling raindrop, a bevy of vendors, theretofore invisible, appeared toting baskets full of umbrellas for sale. It seemed that they had just dropped out of the sky along with the rain.
