  • This photo essay covers the second half of our 2009 adventure in Italy.The images are organized in these categories:

    • Architecture
    • Edibles
    • Hardware
    • Art
    • A few of my personal favorites

    A special note about viewing the images in this article:

    Because there are so many images, I have only posted thumbnails in the article, but you can view an enlargement of any of these images by clicking on the image. This will open an enlargement in a separate browser window. If you open an enlargement window, be sure to close that window before click on another thumbnail. Also, you can click on the image in the enlargement window to view it at maximum scale, then a second click will restore it to fit within the enlargement window. So let me repeat this...

    Click on any image below to see an enlargement.

     

    Architecture


    The central tower in Siena - Siena is the nicest big town we saw in Italy. Milan has its Duomo, Last Supper,and Teatro alla Scalla. Florence has the David and more Renaissance and pre-Renaissance art than you can shake a stick at.Rome... well I still haven't been to Rome, and I am sure there are many wonderful things to see there. But these are all "cities" of the modern era, filled with art and antiquities, but swamped with modern infrastructure and crazed by the frenetic pace afflicting all centers of business and commerce. Siena has retained its Renaissance era architecture and the small town charm. With minimal motorized traffic Siena is fun and easy to explore on foot. We did go to Florence... If you love art, you will probably like this city, but itIS a city... and don't even think about driving in Florence, we did, and it was an absolute miracle that we made it in and out without getting hopelessly lost or wrecking our car.
