Picasso spent large parts of his life in different regions of Spain, however, a significant amount of his classical training occurred in Barcelona.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow…in Rome?
Hahaha wait a second! When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think that I was going to end up participating in the best snow ball fight this winter…in Rome! Coming from Milwaukee, WI, I am not a newb to the snow and its awesome packing qualities, but snow in Rome? I also didn’t expect …
