Description
Serre di Rapolano, ItalyThis beautiful little medieval town, built in the 1200s, has only about 50 residents. I spent a lovely (but cold and brisk) morning wandering through its winding passages.

gorgeous!
i have been looking at this one for a long time and am so drawn to it, perhaps because of the colors, the subject, the texture...then this morning i thought...this is exactly how i would have shot this, if i had been there! i have googled the town and wanna go! it has been my dream to visit italy for as long as i can remember..to wander those winding passages that you did, is my idea of a perfect day! i am glad you were able to go...

I thought of you and your images of the island [link] as I looked through these images. Oh, Marianne! It was the most wonderful little town (my new favorite) and I know you would love to wander through its streets. It is one of those little known medieval villages with very few residents left. I had the most wonderful, inspiring day there.

interesting. i thought of those windows i shot as well when i saw the curve of this doorway.
this building is much more colorful than "my" building.
i will be going back to "my" building on april 21 to bring my mother back home. i will spend a few days before we start the drive back and i hope to get some more shots there...when i was there in february there was some odd construction going on so i was unable to get the shot i wanted..fingers crossed i can do it this time cuz i think it will be my last trip back there (unless tom and i go some day).

I would love to live behind one of these charming doors...

Me too and in a village of that size......

It saddens me that so few people are left that live there.

Yes but I think they wouldn't want it any other way. Imagine infecting them with all this crap in the world.

It's true...they have the luxury of living a very simple, and neighborly life.
But what will happen when they die out? (for most of the current residents are elderly), will the town die as well?

It probably will, its most likely what a real retirement home should be...

Getting old can be beautiful...
Love those colors, textures and framing

Oh, Lucia...this was the most amazing little medieval town! And almost deserted now (only about 50 people live there, mostly older folk).
I got some incredible texture photos there.

...and they're all so beautiful to me, the arched doorways and old wood, the colorful shutters covering the windows. I would love to live behind one of those doors.
