Really appreciate your comments about this wine-window, panino plague. We had a college-age relative visit Florence last summer and she explained to us that she really didn't check out any of the museums as that wasn't her thing-- but recounted with great enthusiasm her visits to said wine-windows and sandwich shop. It really broke our hearts-- because of the lost opportunity for her and the damage done to the city by visits like that. You're ability to communicate the magic and relevance of these works of art is so valuable and so needed.

I try to think of those Instagram moments like pilgrims' badges, and I understand the allure and the satisfaction of finding something on a sort of treasure map. But the complete disinterest in what's beyond that is disturbing.
