Nice set!
Think about the poor members of the band... it's a real nightmare to play a flute with gloves... and the fact that the flutist did not have fingerless ones is also leading me to think that 1. her flute must have been of the "closed holes" variety and 2. that it was damn cold!

it was cold but not damn cold (by Canadian standards - though someone from Italy may find it so ) hovered around freezing (0c/32f) and snowed on and off. smae today but the snow has been more on than off , my gloves sat in my pocket (I can operate the camera with them, but it's faster and easier without) . for the walk home today I will be shooting with my 55 tak so no gloves on bare metal. may be a short walk before the lure of transit calls me)
a few years ago we were in Rome in early October. at night I was in short sleeves and quite comfortable the Romans were wearing Gloves and scarves and coats
