Underfoot in Italy

 I could not resist taking pictures of the tile floors in Rome, Florence, and Venice.  My quilter's brain went to work right away figuring out how they were put together.  





Don't turn me in!  Photography is strictly forbidden in the Sistine Chapel, but I covertly snapped photos of the floors.

St. Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiori), Rome


Sampietrini. Roman paving stones made from black basalt. 6 x 5 x 3 cm.  Name comes from St. Peter's Square.
