The tombs of Boethius and Augustine of Hippo in Pavia, Italy

Wonderful! Congratulations!

I'm in Pavia this week giving a series of lectures on Kant's moral philosophy. Super lovely town, and one of its churches has the remains of Augustine of Hippo and Boethius! (San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro)

Very cool!
