At the Hotel Serenissima, the framed signature of Robert Rauschenberg.Though many assume he was Jewish, Rauschenberg, who died not very long ago, grew up in Texas, and was raised in the Church of Christ. As a teenager, he considered becoming a preacher, but was dismayed by the church's stance against dancing. He went on to become one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, and judging by this signature, once stayed at the Hotel Serenissima.

We loved that the hotel was filled with what was apparently the family's collection of modern art. Grizz went to every floor and got shots of many of the works. The mod art made for a nice contrast to the otherwise 19th century surroundings. Great pix, Grizz!
Makes a person want to travel to Italy & read books while enjoying all there is to see and do...
