Postcard from Bergamo, Italy: Post-or-pre-dated reflections on the arrival of spring?

Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy, is gorgeous, but it is getting short shrift. It fell at the tail end of our travels this past summer, and, apparently, its postcards were left stampless, arriving via an extremely slow boat.

So I’m just pretending these summer photos are suitable to herald spring arriving in Lombardia.
