Stars


In Vernazza, a stylized star decorated the landing of the stairs to our rooms. Marianne and I noticed because it reminded us of a Moravian star, very familiar to folks from Winston-Salem.
Then we arrived in Roma and noticed the same motif in the hotel lobby lighting. Very interesting.
Next we spied the star in our Siena bed and breakfast. Do we detect a pattern?
Another star in Vinci at the museum. Wrong pattern?
Then again in Venezia.
We asked several times about the meaning and did not receive a good answer. We did a little online research and found that the star was a symbol for several guilds, including hoteliers, so maybe our pattern was right, just not the only one.
Anyone have an idea?
