There is a lot to talk about how the world saw on the deceased Pope. But through which eyes did the world actually look at the world? If you really want to answer this question – and not metaphorically -, only two people can help: Alessandro and Luca Spiezia. At least a little. Because they missed the glasses to the Holy Father.
Apart from their famous customer, the glasses business of the two is completely inconspicuous. A small counter, wall shelves full of glasses frames, a large mirror – all in all just a few square meters of shop. In an even smaller chamber on the right side, the two opticians measure the eyes of their customers.
