[Leica] Nathan's PAD 30/11/2016: two houses of worship

[Douglas Barry]

You've some great images of the VE galleria, Nathan. It's still very 
impressive after a hundred and fifty years, and of course I like the kiss in 
the next batch, as kisses never go out of fashion. I was last in Milan in 
2003 when I also took my youngest to see the San Siro as he was a rabid 
Inter Milan fan at that stage.
