Italians take their time... everybody know that. And it is very common to hear: the more you go down South, the more they take their time. Well, Perugia is almost right in the centre of Italy so it may show a good average.Let's have an exemple! San Agostino Church in Corso Garibaldi was first built in 1256-1260 with a gothic basement but was completly restaured in the XVIIIth century. Here we can see the lower part of the front probably built during the second half of the XIIIth century, while the upper part was defenitely built in the XVIth century.
Well, of course, that does not mean the church was under construction for three centuries, but it does show some typical careless to give the front an harmonious impression.
However, does is really shock?
Your Foto shocks! Great!!
