We sort of followed the markets on their weekly schedule around Umbrian and Tuscan towns. There was always fresh fruit and veg, cured meats and cheeses, fish, and live poultry you could have personally neck-wrung in case you wanted a really fresh dinner! These guys were dealing in textiles.
Dinner starts late in Italy and we were there in the winter, so we often had to hang around in a dark vicolo (alley) waiting for the restaurant to open.
I spent an afternoon on a solo recon of this lovely walled town, camera and umbrella in hand.
San Gimignano can be summed up in two words: towers and alleyways.

So many excellent shots. I love them all, but particularly those steps in the first one.
Awesome pics!
These are beautiful. At times I thougt I was looking at a painting or a movie set.
From one "Flaneur with a Canon" to another I like these shots very much!
