Up



Town
Simple arcade of shops, backed up onto the side of the cathedral.

Town
The cathedral bell tower. That's all of the cathedral you'll see because they closed it down for serious repair work in February. Closed for five, maybe six months. Still closed after seven, and no word about reopening.

Town
Another arcade

Town
More of it

Town
More arcades down this street

Arcades and shuttered windows are typical Italian street sights. The shutters are louvered to let in air even when closed.

Town
Not quite balanced arcade

Town
Another street full of arcades

Town
Common in Germany and France, projecting upper floors are seen less often in Italy

Town
Street of the vaults, an alley with rich merchants' houses on one side, their warehouses on the other, and a walkway between them on a vault over the alley.

Town
Like this one

Town
And this one

Town
And this

Town
They just keep on going

Town
Still more

Town
I finally ran out of them.

Town
Two young women (see the foot on the right and the hand on the left) with bicycles needed a little help with a flat tire. The shopkeeper told them "Wait here, I'll take care of it." And he came out with his air hose. Service with a smile.
