Bellissime queste meridiane piene di colori Pietro, sicuramente dietro ad ogni disegno si cela una leggenda o una simbologia.

Un saluto e buon proseguimento di settimana!

Ciao Pietro, mi piace molto la meridiana che rappresenta l'Africa, forse perchè adoro i leoni:-) C'è sempre molto da scoprire come ad una piccola Versailles:-) Un cordiale saluto, e..complimenti. Sei stato alla reggia di Caserta? Pensare che abbiamo dei tesori inestimabili e spesso lo stato non se ne cura.
