23rd and 24th Out, Italy and Poland

Our 23rd card is going out today, and it is to Cingoli, Italy.  Cingoli is the birthplace of Pope Pius VIII.  The city is located at the site of the ancient Cigulum, founded and fortified buy Julius Caesar's lieutenant Titus Labienus in 63 BC, and probably the site of an even older village!  WOW!

The 24th card is going to Koscion, Poland.  Koscion is on the Obra river canal in west central Poland.  I couldn't find very much information about Koscion, but I did find a picture of a miniature statue of the leaning tower of Pisa.
