    In Pisa they do things a little different? Great photos...and with a little social commentary thrown in!

    Pasta out of a machine is as sinful as stealing a poorbox.

    I love your Pisan walks especially. The rivalry with Livorno must be really something! You give me such a laugh with the comments. :)

    What a funny set of shots, VP! The brick wall is great, it has more or less the same design builders made in wood inside the walls of the new buildings after the 1755 earthquake.
