Behind the building was a pilgrim in a hammock under some manicured trees completely passed out. Thinking back, it was probably Gioele; who really knows. I took some photos and walked down to the river which had a park running alongside it. I found the ancient Roman bridge being refurbished and closed to foot traffic.
