Palermo, palaces, magic and mystery! #Palermo #Sicily in November! Festa di San Martino #venice #venezia #educatedtraveller If you love sweet things today’s the day in Venice. It’s the Festa di San Martino, St Martin’s Day, the day when children trot around the streets and alleys of Venice requesting sweets and treats from the shop owners. It’s delightful. The bakeries all make huge shortbread biscuits covered in chocolate, sweets and icing sugar. Totally delicious! The biscuits are in the shape of a man on a horse - to celebrate San Martino who gave half of his cloak to a poor beggar on a cold winters night. This is my favourite Venetian Festival. #Venice #Venezia #SanMartino #Martinstag #stmartin - full story in bio! Germany on a sunny November day! Flavours of Germany, the historic centre of Nurtingen, River Neckar, scenic doorways. Tomorrow it’s Martinstag, St Martin’s Day or San Martino depending which country you are in….. What do you call a clutch of Jet 2 vans ? Raphael paints the meeting of Pope Leo and Atilla the Hun. Stanze di Raffaello, Vatican, Rome
