Thin layer of sense

Yesterday we went to San Gimignano to its modern art museum; they were showing a video by Shirin Neshat, an Iranian lady artist living in new York. The music is Philip Glass'; it's hard to tell what the video it's about, but in me it evoked how complex is the world of sense in which we live, unconsciously..

I've been to Siena Sunday to see the exposition on Pratt (an old time passion of mine),

and surprisingly the town was really pleasant to visit. The exposition is in the context of a wonderful restoration, too. Italy seems an almost civilized place from Siena.
