Entertained in the Grande Piazza


Filming a movie or TV show in the piazza today
They played one song only or parts of it over and over













Stopped at Cantina Gattavecchi, just a few meters from the apartment
to make reservations for dinner
for 8:00 p. m.  The dinner hour here starts at 8:00

The wisteria was outside the door of the restaurant



Saturday, It's Going to Rain, but Not Quite Yet


 Shall we have lunch here?




 Exploring a different neighborhood today
Different sections of the town 
fly a different colored flag.  Flags were hung
last Saturday before Liberation Day on Sunday, April 25
but maybe they are for May Day celebrations.

 Library having a History of Cinema exhibition
A very large movie camera


 The flowers match the flags


 No Photos Allowed
inside
I wanted a photo of the tea set with cups 
made of chocolate
All I had to do was buy it and I could
photograph it all I wanted








 Flowers growing in the wall; or as an Italian
might say, "in the walla"













 Looking South is Lake Trasimeno

Back up to the Grande Piazza

A Beautiful Day in Pienza

Mad Max our driver brought us from the restaurant yesterday and took us to and from
Pienza today; about a 20 minute adventure in driving.









Convent from the 15th Century

A fallen angel? Or falling angel?


A different version of Mary






















Lunch at La Terrazza (terrace)












Tiles on the bathroom floor

Day is much to lovely to be eating indoors





























Our taxi and driver (watching me take his picture) both in blue


I took these photos of Montepulciano in the distance
through the car window glass.
