One of many paintings of the beheading of St John in Malta.
I don't know much about the hermit, and have a certain piquant or worse view of the Knights of Malta.
I posted the photo since I like the architecture, as is my way.
osso, I'm curious. What we heard in Malta about the Knights of Malta were pretty impressive stuff - like providing medical care to all the people in need. Can you explain your derision?
I'll be glad to, in the morning.
I was originially charmed by the wall of Pirenesi when I first saw it at the property in the Aventine in Rome.

Since Francis can't post, so what about Letty (since she knows now how to post pics), when she's awake?

Wow! Just got up so I'll have to see if I can still do the picture thing. Fantastic painting, C.I. Where's Salome? <smile>
You go ahead, Walter.
There it is, yawl. <smile>
clue:

Further clue:
The word means massacre.
Yes, and Francis is not telling where it is....
Well, Francis. Obviously you know. <smile> Such an interesting history behind that area, as well as the city.
