Commodore Black has left the US for moving to Italy where he will recruit more crew members. He landed in Northern Italy, near to the Alps and has stopped for the day in Saronno, a cute little town close to the Lake of Como, one of the most romantic venues of the world, the Alps and Milan, the financial capital of Italy.
Saronno is famous for a peculiar type of bitter-sweet biscuits and liquor that both take the name from the town: Amaretti di Saronno (the biscuits) and Amaretto di Saronno (the liquor).
Walk with me in the center town.
Here is the info about the center town taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saronno) “The pilgrimage church of the Madonna dei Miracoli, begun in 1498 by Vincenzo Dell’Orto, has a dome with very fine architecture on the outside. The bell tower dates from 1516, the rest of the church is of a later date. Internally it is decorated with fine frescoes by Gaudenzio Ferrari, representing The Concert of Angels, while those in the choir are by Bernardino Luini and are among his finest works. These include the Adoration of the Magi, The Presentation, The Marriage of the Virgin and Jesus Discussing with the Doctors in the Temple. Most likely Luini started these frescoes in the spring of 1524.”
