Exposure to Italian Mornings


The beauty of a morning in a small Italian hill town - they start with a lovely slow and measured pace. The first morning in Arezzo was just that. Piazza Grande was almost empty, cafe owners were even enjoying a cafe' under the arches of the Palazzo delle Logge. Studying a city map over breakfast and determining the general direction of the day was the first order of business.


Piazza Grande (shown in heading of the blog as well as below), a sloping trapeziod-shaped square. Quiet this morning. A stark contrast to the previous afternoon when we arrived. At that time the Piazza was full of hundreds of antiques, dealers and shoppers.

  1. Thank you so much for linking me and for sharing the story and your photos from Arezzo-my adopted town! It was so wonderful to see the shots of town where I walked over and over again.
