I sat in the church - it was cool and very peaceful. Another time there was a service on and with media folks..don't know what. But it was great to observe a local ritual.
It is so serene and quiet. And then I had lunch at the cafe not far from the church. It was incredible. It was a simple zucchini ravioli with zucchini sauce and zucchini french fries sprinkled on top. I was amazed at the simplicity and yet quality.
If you get a chance and want to slow down and step back in time - go to Torcello!
Sometimes - when it gets really busy for me - I think of that day and invariably I smile and feel peaceful.
