Crest – Bologna, September 2012
This is a detail shot of one of the hundreds of ornate gilded crests lining the walls at the old Bologna University building. I visited the university, the oldest in Italy, recently and you can read more about my trip here or view more photos here.

Now I want to know who or where Flandria was! Flanders? Lovely pic with all the gilded scrolling fading out of focus behind
Nice detail and great picture!

I love this shot, Jeanne. 🙂 Bologna is one of my favorite Italian cities, if not THE favorite. 🙂
Superb. A lot of people never take a detailed picture like this or even notice the detail themselves.
