What amazing news. I remember bursting into tears when I heard of the quake. That evening I had a grad class, with Simon as I recall, and was still 9/10 wreck. I had long sicne left the art dept. at that point, but those first reports, when the fate of Giotto’s cycle was still unknown, grabbed me by the throat.
(and it’s this point when the same people who can’t figure out why I didn’t go into all things Anglo-Saxon, since I dearly love Anglo-Saxon lit., will now chime in with ‘and why the heck didn’t you focus on art history instead of magical texts and inquisition, you dope!!??!?’ le sigh.)
