As we continued to explore, we came upon two elementary schools.  The building pictured above is the Scuola Monviso I.C. Via Linneo, and is at Via Monviso, #4A.  The one pictured below is around the corner from the first one, and is the Scuola dell’Infanzia Comunale Mantegna, at Via Andrea Mantegna, #8.

The Piazza delle Culture, also known as Piazza Antonio Gramsci, captured our attention with its large colorful murals.

The piazza is dedicated to the memory of Teresa Sarti Strada, a local teacher who, together with her husband, Gino Strada, founded Emergency NGO, an organization that developed humanitarian and healthcare facilities in struggling nations, such as Sudan.

Next up: We wrap up Day 1, and begin Day 2 with a visit to a local street market!
