Lateralus vinyl sound quality?!?

Hi everyone!

I purchased this vinyl for my present for Christmas (early I know) for my boyfriend as I found a bargain for it on Vinted, and know it’s limited edition. The sleeve wasn’t in amazing condition and the inner paper sleeves were borderline glued to the insides of the sleeve. The second LP was described as ‘unopened’ (the paper sleeve was stuck inside and I had to use a letter opener to cut the vinyl out).

I have heard previously this vinyl doesn’t sound great but this copy has SOOOOO MUCH cracking in the background during the whole album. Is this normal?? I’m likely going to keep it as it can be a collectors item for him.

But I’m wondering if this is especially bad? I don’t know if the vinyl could have water damage? This is my guess as to how the paper sleeves ended up adhered inside the cardboard sleeve 😬

Unique / homemade crockery - not tourist crap?

Hey guys, off to Italy soon and my partner and I are slowly collecting items for our kitchen when we are on holiday (e.g in france we got some little painted bowls) and looking to maybe get some cute painted plates or something along those lines.
I'll be in Milan (maybe verona too) and Lake Como. I don't know if anyone recommends anywhere to buy these things such as markets or certain stores, or know of anywhere to specially AVOID that isn't just china made tourist tat lol.
Thanks guys!!

Recommendations for Milan & Lake Como (and maybe Verona or

Hi guys, I've put on another post asking to help pick between Verona or Bologna but I'm curious what people's recommendations are to do in Milan & Lake Como.
Milan
Ideally I'd be spending one-ish day in Milan and using the other day to go to Verona or Bologna. Happy to make that day in Milan jam packed if I can !!
- What would you recommend to do? We currently have booked to see the Duomo, and will go to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuel Il and hopefully see "The Last Supper" (how do I book tickets for this - I tried on their website and I was unable to click anything ?!? Can you pay on the day?)
Lake Como
I'd like to know what is recommended to do / eat in these areas, especially for breakfast & lunch!!!
We're staying in Laglio for context.
I'm happy to have busy days, l'a love to see/do as much as possible. I'm with my partner & his family but I wouldn't mind doing things solo, is it sate??
For context I'm happy to do a bit of travelling around if it means getting trains or ferry's - I've not been to Italy before and it's been my dream to go to Lake Como so pls keep me busy!!
Thanks guys

Bologna or Verona - Day Trip?

Hellooooo!!! I am off to Italy from the 27th June - 4th July.
We're doing Milan and then off to Lake Como on the Tuesday.
Sunday morning we're off to see the Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuel II, and hopefully The Last Supper (trying for tickets!!).
(Any recommendations appreciated for what to do in this day also!!! I'd like to fit in as much as possible into this day.)
However nothing is really planned on Monday. I am considering a day trip to either Bologna or Verona? I'm unsure which is the better option.
- I understand Bologna is great for the food, and Verona for the castles and Roman architecture. Both sound up my alley.
Ultimately I would just appreciate general advice on which would be better and any recommendations of what to do / where to eat breakfast & lunch in either city would be amazing!!~
