Medieval Curiosity
... be staying this evening though, and will get to see some of the town when the visitors have left. The degree to which San Gimignano has retained its medieval character is astounding. As I wonder the narrow streets that crisscross the town I always seem to end up back at the centre. Is that my poor sense of direction, or is it just very contained. Judging by the length of the shadows, the sun is beginning to fall, and I decide to find a vantage ...

Art, Churches, Art, Shopping, Art, and more Art!
... Croce would have been a spectacle if it hadnt been filled with scaffolding for restoration, but we still got to see the highlights, Galileo and Michelangelo's tombs. The attached leather school was fascinating, and its products stunning, though unfortunately mostly out of my price range.
