Forza Italia - Picture Part I

After the onslaught of words, now the onslaught of pictures. This post Turin, Sienna, Monteregio.

Torino - Turin

This is the ceiling of the restaurant of the hotel we stayed at in Turin

A Church we Happened to Pass

We saw an open air market. You may be able to see if you blow this up that the butcher is splitting a side of meat with his cleaver.

It was the season for porcini mushrooms
Scenes from Torino's Grand Piazza

2 and 2B (the bio component of the Tim Tom GPS system)

Entrance to the Piazza

Entrance seen from inside the Piazza

Look across the river Po

Elegant Looking #2 Feet - a necessity for La Dolce Vita

Only draw back to the bio-electronic system is the bio component must be kept fed.
Sienna

The Duomo - Cathderal





This i s not a great shot but just look at all those people in there!

This picture doesn't do this justice
The entire floor is covered with etched artwork. Incredibly detailed.

Going from the Duomo Piazza to the Main Piazza

The Main Piazza del Campo
Imagine this in the 13th, and 14th century when this city was a powerhouse based on money-lending.

The ruins of Montereggio

Loved the pictures. What do 2 and 2B think of all of this?

lovely! From the looks of it though the bio component requires more booze than food to sustain it

Wow those pictures are gorgeous. I like the first one- the ceiling picture. They are all really pretty though. Expect lots of comments soon with Mike and I catching up on blogs!
