The sights and sounds of Italy No 1


As we  about to embark on our next trip to Italy we thought we would publish some of our favourite pics from last year.

 Hope you enjoy.


Lovely hanging vines in Monti, Rome




From Vittorio Emmanuele monument looking along Via Del Corso in Central Rome.




At the opera in Rome




Feet and the crystal clear waters of southern Sardegnia




Piazza delle Pace in Rome. Great place for people watching. Near Piazza Novona.




One of the many vespar riders in Rome




The fabulous Spanish Steps. A focal point for all.




The Roman Forum. Just love meandering around it and dwelling on centuries long gone.




Ahh...The Big C



The worlds first shopping mall, Trajans markets...near the Roman Forum




The magic of Tivoli gardens




Our favourite Italian town, Montalcino




Wine in Italy's finest wine region Tuscany...Sangiovese of course




The most photographed little church in Italy just outside Montalcino




The road with i cipressi near Montalcino.




Of course every Italian deserves a red fiat cinquecento




Dusk in Montalcino




From Ravello on the amazing Amalfi coast




Amore from Ravello




The eagles nest in Ravello...from the rooftop of the former villa of noted American author Gore Vidal




Dusk from our room in Positano. The Buca di Bacco hotel is a must.




I can just hear Ottis Redding singing "sitting on the dock of the bay..."
In the Aeolian Island of Lipari off the Sicilian coast


Number two to follow soon....just reminiscing

Baci a tutti

Carolyna e Alan
