Portici

This is a part of the "portici" that run along the liston, the large marble paved part of  Piazza Bra. I don't know a translation for the word portici (if anyone can help...). I think it was the cold and wet northern climate that generated the architechtural feature of the portici: a simple way keep dry in case of rain. Verona has really a few portici, compared to other northern towns, in fact I can think of only a couple more, certainly shorter than this.

Cloisters

San Zeno Cathedral. The cloisters are a stunning structure on the side of the Cathedral. Walking along you can see old tombstones, bits of mural painting, marble plates engraved with latin words. It's so silent here: a perfect place for walking and reflecting...

Details

Another little corner of the city centre with many little details to notice. First of all, another Telephone round sign (see the other one here) above the entrance of this little Bar- Pizzeria.

Then there is this old fashioned red sign "Pizza al Taglio" which signals that pizza here is sold in slices or pieces, rather than on a plate. On the right side you can see a bit of a marble frame nicely carved into rosso veronese, a fine local marble. 

Silhouettes

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.

Stripes and the sky

Back at Tubino's

Just wanted to show you another interesting bit of the Caffé Tubino...
