Description
Outside the church of Santa Felicita on the Via de’ Bardi, Tito pauses in the street beneath the surrounding buildings and archway. When the space clears, he walks on alone along the Via de’ Bardi.
"When Fra Luca had ceased to speak, Tito still stood by him in irresolution, and it was not till, the pressure of the passengers being removed, the friar rose and walked slowly into the church of Santa Felicita, that Tito also went on his way along the Via de' Bardi” ("Tito's Dilemma," Chapter 11).
