Bari: In the Basilica of San Nicola our author feels like a pilgrim

In a crypt in Bari, southern Italy, Matthias Schmidt feels as animated as a pilgrim – and gets very close to Santa Claus.

So that there are no misunderstandings: I value my companion very much. With no one else can one explore the stranger with such sensuality and curiosity. Her only weakness, which can also be seen as a challenge: She would like to visit all the churches, chapels and monasteries in a travel destination. Even if that means that at some point you can hardly distinguish between the altars and putti and apostles merge together like in an orgy by Hieronymus Bosch.
