Gaddi for sure.
Gaddi, despite Longhi's fine rhino.
Susan votes for Longhi -- "Venetian Rhinos Forever!"
And for me: Gaddi, despite the fine rhino.
Gaddi
As often happens to me, as I was scrolling through Gaddi, I kept thinking, "Nobody could possibly take it from Gaddi!" And then I hit Longhi and started thinking that I had spoken too soon. The rhino, sure, but the masks!
Still, there was a spark of life missing for me in Longhi, so I'm sticking with Gaddi.
And, it's Gaddi in a landslide! He takes the contest, 10 votes to 2. Say good-bye to the nice rhino, everybody....
