Beautiful shots of a beautiful and fascinating looking place. Sundials probably work better in Italy than in the UK! Mind you, coincidentally, there's an interesting one on the side of St Lawrence's, Eyam - thanks very much for visiting my blog!

Tra metropoli e montagna, edifici antichi e recenti, questo reportage molto bello rende l'idea di questa cittadina che guarda verso le grandi montagne.
