Church beside Parc Dante Montreal

After buying groceries at Jean Talon Market, Lohbado went to Parc Dante for a picnic of bread and cheese. Overlooking the park is the fabulous Church of the Madonna della Difesa inaugurated in 1919. Inside at the front is a fresco of Benito Mussolini, painted before World War Two. Years ago, Lohbado lived within a three minute walk of the church and the park. He spent hours relaxing and contemplating the brick work and the attractive structure of the building.
