Puglia is very rural, so I thought this photo captured a glimpse of the fresh produce available all over the place.

I like the color in this photo and it really just doesn't really seem like this would be a place in Italy. It's a great photo opportunity for a selfie.

The Florentine artists of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral

Off the Beaten Path Italy

Artists casting in marble from Carrara perfect replicas to replace worthy original statues at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. So far the marble-workshop of the Opera del Duomo still keeps showing its fantastic work on progress. Here we can see every tool like the gradine the violin and all the different chisels used by Michelangelo and Donatello for their masterpieces.
