We have recently visited many different sites including the Peace Bell Memorial. It was exciting to see the largest ringing bell with a beautiful landscape in the background. The site included a pictorial history of the bell which shows the two original castings of the bell. It was interesting to see all the different countries that have come together for a good cause.
A couple days later on the bus we discussed how Lombroso's positivist theory helped contribute to the theories exercised by Hitler and others. It was interesting to discuss a theory I have recently learned about in my Punishment class to a significant piece of history, I just wish it would have been a positive piece of history.
This morning we attended mass in Milan's Duomo. It was beautiful with the paintings, candles, and amazing architecture. I personally am not Catholic but it was a beautiful service and well worth the experience. I heard from a fellow student that the Duomo in Milan took 150 years to build.
