# Tuscany 2006

*Italian girls on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza\_del\_Campo">Piazza del Campo</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siena">Siena</a>'s main square. Built in the 13th century and famous for its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palio\_di\_Siena">Palio horse races</a> in July and August.*

*Italians don't use cloth dryers. They just hang their clothes to dry in public. Combined with the 'terra cotta'-colored facades and the green shutters, it makes for a very characteristic view. I like this shot because every time I look at it, I discover interesting new details ...*

*The triangular piazza of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greve\_in\_chianti">Greve in Chianti</a> and its 11th century church. For centuries this piazza has been used to run markets, serving nearby castle communities. Nowadays it still hosts a weekly market, and the morning after I took this picture, we attended such market ourselves. Only now they are selling <a href="/album/tuscany-2006/dinosaurs">dinosaurs</a> and <a href="/album/tuscany-2006/polli-allo-spiedo">polli allo spiedo</a> ...*
