160828_016523 In The Shadow Of The Flag (Sun 28 Aug 16)

Via Dante Alighieri, Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna

The Italian flag is not as common as I might have expected in Italia, as I have observed elsewhere. It usually only hangs over government buildings. In this case I wasn't sure what this building was; I either didn't have time to read the plate alongside the door or did so and forgot about it, possibly assuming that it would be legible from the shot.

It wasn't.

However I do know that we were on Via Dante Alberghi especially as the tomb of Dante was at the end of the street, and I do know (or at least reasonably believe) that we were in Ravenna (things were becoming a bit of a blur by this time), and I know that this was number 3... so with a bit of reverse Googling I found out that the address belongs to FABI, the Federazione Autonoma Bancari Italiani. Put another way... the bank union.

It's good to see them flying the flag. I had two frames of this building, one second apart; in the first one the flag was down, in the second, here, it was extended. We must have had at least a breeze blowing that day though I don't really recall it all that well. I preferred this one out of the two.
