Basel! Now you tell me:)) I'm glad I didn't know the location because this gave me freedom to imagine a place. I kind of had Sicily (Catania specifically) in mind, but Venice fit better with the material I had. I like to think there is a suggestion of Sicily in my Venice collage.
I learned a lot also. Though I wasn't surprised to hear people seem to be fatter now :))
Thanks for the visit, and for the kind words.
