Memories of Tuscany: Marina di Cecina

nobody@ipernity.com (Herb Riddle) — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 07:03:38 +0000

Our first full chance to relax before seeing our accommodation. Here we are at our local beach of Cecina with a sight that we would never ever see back home in Britain. Matched sun-umbrellas and chairs all lined up in an orderly fashion. Of course, demonstrating that certain Italian flair of matching harmony with nature.

The original building dates from the 14th century, but it was restored and things were added in the 19th and 20th century. It is the headquarter of the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.

Memories of Tuscany: Volterra Street detail

nobody@ipernity.com (Herb Riddle) — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 06:17:38 +0000

Herb Riddle has posted:

Volterra is another town of tight narrow streets and alleyways as can be seen here. I believe it was common practice to build arches joining high buildings that were close together to counter earthquake damage in such areas. Of course the streets are narrow so that the buildings can give cool shade, and the heights were driven by the needs of a high population in a very restrictive footprint on this hilltop plateau.

Our next hilltop town is Volterra known as the gem of Tuscany. Here we are just outside one of the walled gateways. Another medieval town of character and some high towers too. The domed building seen here is The Baptistery San Giovanni.

Memories of Tuscany: Piazza Duomo Archways

nobody@ipernity.com (Herb Riddle) — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 07:06:46 +0000

Herb Riddle has posted:

You have to be in San Gimignano to really appreciate the medieval beauty and history of this place. Here we are in perhaps the very heart of this walled town, at the 11th c Piazza Duomo. The steps belong to the Bassilica S.Maria Assunta and the building on the left is the Town Hall (Comune San Gimignano) and I am under the archway of a big towered building called Torre Rognosa.
It is warm and bright here; hence many of the visitors seek these squares for a quiet place to relax in the shade. The town has many stoned archways; here we can see four alone.

Memories of Tuscany: San Gimignano and its towers

Our first full day trip out here in Tuscany was to San Gimignano and Volterra. San Gimignano is famed for its high narrow towers, some show here. This is a beautiful hilltop town but unfortunately I never got the chance to capture it from low down nor far away, showing the classic view.

"San Gimignano, a small walled village about halfway between Florence and Siena, is famous for its fascinating medieval architecture and towers that rise above of all the other buildings offering an impressive view of the city from the surrounding valley.
At the height of its glory, San Gimignano's patrician families had built around 72 tower-houses as symbols of their wealth and power. Although only 14 have survived, San Gimignano still retains its feudal atmosphere and appearance. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, San Gimignano offers visitors the chance to step back in time" - www.discovertuscany.com/san-gimignano
