"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous." - Leonardo di Vinci
I've just returned from a quick driving tour of central Italy. I went back to places I'd seen as a 17-year old but had no lasting memory of, and several decades later my appreciation went much deeper. I'm not a student of ancient culture, but the quality of architecture and artwork I saw was humbling nonetheless.

The time and effort taken to build structures like these never happens in our modern world. The attention to detail is astounding; the longevity of construction and elegance transcend style, past or current.
