Tuscany - San Gimignano

In july we went to visit our dear friends in Italy. They live in Lucca - Tuscany. They decided to spoil us with a delicious Italian specialities and excursions.

Among other things we saw one beautiful small walled medieval hill town known as The Town of Fine Towers - San Gimignano.

View from the wall was gorgeous.

After some shots we decited to walk around a little bit.
Look who we met 😍
This guy who knows where to find a nice spot in town to rest and enjoy.

After a while he decided that he had enough of photoshooting 😂

Town is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses.

One of the tower houses.

Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture.

You can also find a lot of small shops with Italian specialties ...

One of many shops of Pinocchio who is a fictional character of the children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) by Italian writer Carlo Collodi. Carved by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a village near Lucca, he was created as a wooden puppet and dreamed of becoming a real boy. Pinocchio is known for having a short nose that becomes longer when he is lying 🤥

And here is the last one for today - a little shop with some paintings of local motives 🎨

Ciao tutti 👋🏻
