Apartment in a small stone courtyard in a idyllic Italian historic center.
The streets and old houses that surrounded the Roman fortress had all been built from stone.
Old women in long dresses bantered back on forth as they swept the dust in front of their doorsteps. A light breeze brushed through the laundry that made a canopy as we walked through the narrow corridors.
Vespas and bicycles were parked in front of the doors. Painted archways and alcoves featured the Christ, Mary or one of the saints.
Nicola is a perfect host, really hospitable. :-)
