Typical Tuscany, I'd Say.

And here are some buildings painted in those famous Tuscan colors.
I have to wonder, are they painted this way because it's expected?
Or are our expectations shaped because they are painted this way?

StreetSign-042505-924a
Do you recognize this?

I though the lantern next to the street sign
attractive enough to use in the Tuscany Logo for these pages.
and the wall attractive enough to use a patch for the background.

InSquare-042505-937a
Preparing for St. Zita's Day, April 27th.

Before we get too far from the church, we need to read the sign posted near the door.
Here's the translation: Guided visits are not admitted. During the functions no visit.
We passed a small square with a lovely garden near the center. Shutters on these windows are fully functional to keep out the rain or the sun and still allow fresh air into the room.
