Emme and and I went to the caffe recommended by Señora Janet. I finally had a caffe fredo for only €1! It's practically iced coffee. Ice cubes were mixed with the local coffee in what looks like a Margherita shaker. I added some milk and sugar. It was perfecto! We then went around the local marketplace and park. The park was near Pam, the grocery store, where Emme and I frequently buy our groceries. The park was called Commune di Vicenza... It was given to the community by a couple. Going in, one can outrightly see statue replicas of some Renaissance artists. Some of which are: Trissino, an Italian Renaissance poet, humanist, dramatist, diplomat, the mentor of the painter, Palladio. Another was Ercole Ferrarese, a Renaissance painter and wine- lover, who also had works at the Griffoni Chapel. Unlike the parks in the U.S., this particular park has bigger green spaces, great aesthetic appeal (fountain nearby), more bike racks, elderly people gathering and socializing after lunch, free wifi (for those that have Italian cellular phones), greater connection with nature, open for all community members, even moms with their strollers, promote greater physical activity, closing times, and promotes relaxation.
