Unfort not my skills dont run to that, the row was built by a talented chap called Mike Connington, I did however supply the research photos, which were taken from a range of Northern Italian buildings

Congratulations for your buildings, keep up the good job!
The church especially, is very nicely done!
I have a very poor knowledge of the period.
I'm eager to see the continuation
