Today's travel photo is of the wide pathway leading up to Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. Capitoline Hill is one of the Seven Hills of Rome and has a long and interesting history, dating back to ancient Rome. What now stands on the hill are some beautiful Medieval and Renaissance palaces that now combine as the [...]
Today's travel photo is of a pathway in the Tuscan town of Greve in Chianti. Greve is one of the larger Chianti towns and is well worth taking a day to wonder around. Its main piazza has lots of interesting shops and cafes, and its cobblestone streets lined with centuries old houses make it a [...]
Today's travel photo is of some bruschette with fresh tomato and basil in Sorrento, Italy. The one thing that I wish I took more photos of when I was in Italy is the amazing food that I ate. I guess the food was usually so good that it was gone before I could even get [...]
Today's travel photo is an old one of Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square) in the heart of Venice, Italy. In this photo, a group of tourists is admiring the view to St Mark's Cathedral and the enormous Campanile (clock tower) that towers over the piazza. I remember first stepping foot into St Mark's Square [...]

Chianti is a hilly part of Tuscany that is famous [...]
Today's travel photo is of some art for sale in Piazza Trinita dei Monti in Rome, Italy. This piazza is located at the top of the Spanish Steps and dominated by the Trinita dei Monti Church. I just loved walking around the cobblestone streets and piazzas of Rome.
Today's travel photo is an old one of a beautiful mosaic tiled floor inside Musei Vaticani (Vatican Museums) in the Vatican City. The Vatican is an absolute must see if you travel to Rome, but don't just visit St Peter's Basilica. Take the time to visit the Vatican Museums on your way to the Sistine [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old wooden door in the courtyard of Palazzo Comunale in San Gimignano, Italy. The town of San Gimignano is a beautifully preserved medieval town in Tuscany and I absolutely loved walking along its cobblestone streets.
