Day's Mileage: 4.25
So we went to Cortona, the city that Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed. There were posters of the movie everywhere in town. The movie really helped the economy and encouraged many people to move to Cortona. I was excited and loved the city, except being under the Tuscan Clouds.
A look at the hillside
A stairway alley. There are a lot of these in Italy. They are oh so fun to climb up......
A look over the valley. Mid-way down there is a walled in cemetery.
The cemetery resting on the hillside
A cat. This cat followed us almost the full length of the corso, kept its distance but wanted to see what was up with these new faces in town.
The theater in Cortona. So beautiful and it had 5 rows of balcony seating. I sure would love to watch a show, any show, in there!
The ceiling of the theater.
Tony waiting for the Etruscan Museum to open
A look at the clock tower
Here are more pictures of old men, so cute just chatting the morning away. Always in groups of 3-4.
Lunch at a bruschetteria on the corso. I had Pizze Salsicia e Spinaci and it was quite possibly the best pizza I have ever had!
