For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Florence:
Michelangelo’s David is, perhaps, one of the most famous images of Florence. And yet the one that’s outside the Palazzo Vecchio - the one everyone poses in front of for photos, and the one pictured above - is only one of three Davids in the city [...]

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Asolo:
Food shop windows are some of my favorites in Italy, because even the uncooked displays are mouth-watering. This is a tray of ready-made pumpkin-filled tortelloni, dusted with powder to keep from sticking to one another, and just waiting to be scooped up by someone on his [...]

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Milan:
This is one of the food stalls from the weekly market which took place on the street right in front of the apartment I lived in for six weeks this past Spring. And while it is, in fact, in Milan, this photograph could be from any [...]

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Venice:
In my opinion, Venice is endlessly photogenic. And not every picture has to have dozens of tourists in it, either. My most recent visit was at the end of February, and although it was still crowded there were moments of peaceful bliss in little side streets [...]

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Rome:
We’re in the Trastevere neighborhood in Rome, actually - and in the piazza in front of Santa Maria in Trastevere church to be exact. I was strolling through the Trastevere (which I loved, as it was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the [...]
Italy Photo of the Week: Ravenna Mosaics

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Ravenna:
Ravenna is one of those places you may not need to spend more than a couple of hours - but if you like the Byzantine mosaics of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, you should do yourself the favor of a two-hour tour of Ravenna. You can [...]
Italy Photo of the Week: Florence Sunbathers

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Florence:
Ordinarily, the Piazza della Signoria (pictured here) is one of those places that Italian decorum dictates should not be thought of as a place to sit around or sunbathe. This grand piazza is always great for people watching, but the few uniformed police officers who regularly [...]

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Milan:

For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Bologna:
This is easily one of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken in Italy. In the background you see the Piazza Maggiore, Bologna’s main square, and these ladies were sitting at that table just on the [...]
Italy Photo of the Week: Turin Door Knocker
By Jessica | March 15th, 2008 | 1 Comment »
For this Italy photo of the week, we’re in Turin:
Yes, you’re looking at the door-knocker on some random building entrance in the city of Turin. Yes, there are arguably plenty of things in Turin that are more worthy of being singled out for a photo, and it’s extremely unlikely that someone’s going to organize a [...]
