Just beside and slightly behind the statue of Leopold II of Tuscany in “Piazza XX Settembre” you can see an artistic bee house, with a perfectly designed door with hinges and lock.Heraldic bees have always been a symbol of industriousness and, in a later period, of some Napoleonic heritage. Four larger bees are at the door, while twelve more appear on the side.

Scali delle Ancore

In the side window of a hardware store in “Borgo dei Cappuccini” it is quite common to see on display works of local painters.I recently tried to capture in a photo almost the same view of the painting, a few decades old, of the “Scali delle Ancore” .
