Along the alley

A relaxing walk along the quiet vicoli (alleys) near the Duomo.

Vicolo Salici

Filippini district

A quiet vicolo in the lovely Filippini district. Below is a little window whose green canvas curtain you can see here above on the left.

Messy "vicolo"

This is one of the few little alleys in the town centre that still look quite messy. Look at the moss and the old bricks of the building: sooner or later it will be completely restored so I thought it would have been nice to show you how it looked with a good hundred years of neglect.

Sorry, blogger failed to load the photo, I will try again in a few hours.

Secret corner

Another sunny morning gave me the chance to photograph this secluded corner in the heart of town. I had just sipped my coffee in a new café and bought some lovely bread. Next to the panificio a little marble staircase leads to a tiny square from which two little roads depart. 

This is one of them: it is narrow and bends twice among the ancient houses built on roman remains (some of them visible in a few public places), and leads, in a few steps, to the Corso Portoni Borsari.

I love the monochromatic paintings, the rounded shutters, the white flowers: I find enchanting every detail of this close up and every step of this vicolo...
