Photos of Fiesole

La Piazza Mino da Fiesole

Etruscan ruins



More Etruscan ruins and the surrounding hillside

Una via

Some delicious-looking meringue birds in a bakery's window

The same via from another angle

A hillside house's garden



A wall that leads up to the highest point in Fiesole

A different wall, I think

The house I intend to own someday

A gathering of old Italian women

A park and a playground

A bell tower that was playing music when this was taken

Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

I used to always love the way they prune the trees so short at the tops, as depicted in your top photo. The tree gets bigger and bigger each year, but only in the trunk and the few branches allowed to grow thick. It never gets the chance to become tall and present a danger to passersby or to buildings.
