Marty and I spent a lovely hour at Santa Maria Novella in Florence thanks to Michele's suggestion we visit there! (This was before the Sistine Chapel of course!) Lisa, our guide from back in Venice, pointed out that dalmations (black/white dogs) are a symbol of the Dominican order, "dogs/workers for God." It was fun to see them in occasional paintings and here in this fresco. Marty stayed and took this picture while I went to the farmacia to check out the oldest perfumerie around. It was heavenly!
