A trip to the public library pays off when a coffee-table book details off-radar Milan-area castles. Cusago’s busy flower market means spring flora for Italy’s copious balconies and terraces.
Cusago was a lot farther from Milan than I thought but well worth it, putting on a show through the flower market. The castle was a nice backdrop. It is only open one day a week—Tuesday at 3:30pm—for a few hours.
The flower market was fortune as Italians there were happily walking around with family. Too bad my botany skills are so bad. As teens, Roman and I once pulled weeds for a neighbor woman and rooted out some tiny herb. “You boys don’t know much about flowers, do you?” Mrs. Baker was from Georgia, magnolia land.
You found a gem & made it fun

I bet it was very fragrant and warm and inviting to be there. Looks like a great way to spend the day.
