Sleeping al fresco
There is a fresco in our hotel room. It is in the corner of the front room and under glass while the rest of the room is finished. It has deteriorated quite a bit since the 15th century, but you can make out a cherub and what I think is the Papal crest.
Hotel room fresco
Pienza was put on the map in that century when one of its own became Pope. As would be his want, he threw church money behind building construction in his native town. A Duomo with beautiful art from that time period is the centerpiece of this walled city. For these first two days, the hotel we are staying at is a former cloister built in that time period.
As far as I can tell, the WiFi was added later.
