I just returned from Switzerland yesterday afternoon, and I slept a long time last night. It was a 31-hour day for me! I hope to start arranging and writing up accounts, from my notes, maybe tonight.

A most interesting account of your journey.
The fresco in the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli is by the Italian artist Bernardino Luini (1483-1532) and was painted in 1529
The companion fresco is also by him and shows Saint Rocco.
