Peschici - great sandy beach with perfect cocktails, big ice cream glasses, tasty food, friendly people and simply ... I hope to get back there :-)

1

Vaticano - Musei Vaticani - Cappella Sistina - my poor attempt to create Adam

0

Vaticano - Musei Vaticani - Cappella Sistina - Creation of Adam (that Adam somehow reminds me of a bored man sitting in front of TV, except for those muscles - and that was not description of myself :-)

0

Vaticano - Musei Vaticani - Cappella Sistina - The Last Judgment (can you find Michelangelo's self-portrait?)

0

Vaticano - Musei Vaticani - Cappella Sistina (that kept Michelangelo busy for a few years, though he felt he was more of a sculptor than a painter)

0

Vaticano - Musei Vaticani (veery strange 21st century mummy with coke :-)

0

Vaticano - Musei Vaticani (gardens inside in the late afternoon are the perfect getaway from the burning sun)

2

Vaticano - Basilica Papale di San Pietro (ray of divine light)

0

Vaticano - Piazza San Pietro (long queues one day and the next days just a few people, strange)

0

Roma - Colosseo (time to relax)

0

Roma - Arcus Tiberi (one out of four forum arches)

0

Roma - Forum Romanum (a short look into the past)

0

0

Siena - Piazza del Campo (we missed Il Palio just by a few days)

0

Siena - entering Piazza del Campo

0

Siena - Duomo di Siena (beautiful small town on a hill with passion for colors - like green here :-)

0

Pisa - Leaning Tower (just a few secs on the top untill the guard pull us back down for another group to come up)

0

Pisa - Leaning Tower stone steps after billions of human steps (you really feel the leaning when you go up the stairs)

0

Pisa - Leaning Tower (and I was just thinking to drop something from the top like Galileo Galilei did in the known tale)

1

Pisa - Piazza del Duomo / Piazza dei Miracoli (white marble on nice green grass - just pure relax, if only there were less people :-)

0

Firenze - view from the Dome which was built without a wooden supporting frame up to 90m in 15th century - impressive

0

Firenze - the Dome fresco (zoom-in advised - not sure why the levels from bottom are 1st hell, 2nd women and 3rd men :-)

0

Firenze - Gates of Paradise - Isaac with Esau and Jacob (detail at this bronze beauty)

0

Firenze - Battistero di San Giovanni (Gates of Paradise - real masterwork)

0

Firenze - Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (the cathedral is really standing out when you look at Firenze from any hill around)

0

Firenze - Michelangelo's David (replica standing in the original location of David, in front of the Palazzo Vecchio)

0

Firenze - Ponte Vecchio over the Arno river (from medevial butchers to current jewellers who don't pollute the river as butchers used to :-)

0

Padova - Sant'Antonio di Padova (including relics of St Anthony - strange habit to show separate human parts in glass containers)

0

Bologna - typical passage and typical Sunday afternoon - empty

0

Bologna - Fontana del Nettuno (great place for some rest and fresh water on face)

0

Venezia - Piazzeta San Marco view from Basilica di San Marco (just a few seconds we were thrown back in :-)
