This ducal castle forms the peak of what is now a University town.
The eagle is on the Duke's standard.
This could be an early representation of the dual nature of light as wave and particle ... Not quite sure.
The Duke liked to be portrayed as a Roman Emperor -- as we all do.
Under the castle, this room is where they dyed the fabrics. The high windows were opened to let in snow and gather water for the castle.
Lunch: we had a new version of bread called crescia made with water, salt, flour and pork fat. A bit like filo?
The steps in the old city were very steep.
Mario had found a surprise connection with Australia in Urbino.
Following Urbino, it was back to Pesaro. This church found two layers of mosaics under the floor. One dates from Roman times and the other from the sixth century or so.
We had a degustation session, tasting wine and produce from this area.
Our final evening meal at Pesaro was down on the beach.
Julie discovered her favorite desert -- supercharged lemon sorbet (lemon sorbet, vodka, cream, and a small amount of prosecco). Yum.
