Adventures in northern Italy: Lodi

Today's adventure report is a little different because Kevin was by himself. Friday he went out to Lodi -- it's just outside Milan -- to give a presentation on various aspects of U.S. history to students at a high school. There was a story about it in the community newspaper, too, although I'll have to find it online before I can add a link.
He came home with a book on the history of a sister school, which is interesting. I'd probably find it even more interesting if I read Italian well enough to understand more of it.
It was an extremely foggy day, so some of his photos aren't as exemplary as they'd be otherwise. But this is the Basilica Cattedrale della Vergine Assunta. If you do a Google image search, you'll see that the bell tower behind that barrier is pretty cool-looking.
