Expat Vagabonds "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness." Mark Twain

The Renaissance may have produced Italy's best art, but not the first.  That distinction goes to those anonymous people who scratched and chipped images onto the glacially polished  rock at the Valcamonica Rock World Heritage Site in the Third Millennium BC, one of those places Connie has a special knack for ferreting out.  The style and subject matter is similar to the petroglyphs of the American Southwest; deer, sheep, human forms, geometrical shapes and perhaps deities.  And as with the America petroglyphs, the artists are long gone.   "Experts" continue to speculate and debate about their meaning, which makes these drawings even more interesting today.  We are free to express our interpretations, which may be as valid as those of the experts!
