It is never windy in Torino

 

But today it is

and it's almost June

and wet and cold

a winter renaissance

amongst the baroque beauty

of the buildings

the pantomimes

the jugglers

and costumed people

who are firing a cannon

every few minutes

for the amusement

of the crowd

 

Which they would never do

if they lived along the border

of a hostile country

as we do
