SIENA - August 2011
first impressions
checking out the medieval city
Piazza del Campo
le feste delle contrade
every city quarter has its own "contrada"
- groups that ride against each other in
the famous PALIO (3 of July and 16 of August)
the contrada della pantera
il duomo... impressionante!
also for Siena the wolf with Romulus and Remus are quite important...
some really good ice cream after the religious overdose....
Nightlife impressions
view from our appartment
la Vespa...everlasting
la festa del nicchio
exploring Tuscany's beauty - un giro nelle terre del Chianti
VOLTERRA - the city of the VOLTURI....
"I see a bad moon rising..." or wait, I think it's it a NEW MOON.... ;)
wine tasting - a good excuse for getting drunk at midday...
after the weekend's excursion: back to work!
our Italian class - two weeks con buona compagnia
back to beautiful Siena
getting started for the cena italiana: pane con olio e sale
getting ready for the Palio
moving on....
FIRENZE - FLORENCE
Tuscany's beautiful flower
Ponte Vecchio
nightlife impressions
new day - new perspective
omnipresent David (by Michelangelo) - and good old Fiat
next and last stof of our journey:
VENEZIA - VENICE
piazza San Marco
enjoying the view from our hostel
Ponte Rialto
that's where churches become interesting also for geologists...! ;)
we also found out that there is a beach in Venice...
last glimpse into the setting sun

Ciao Bella Italia, ARRIVEDERCI!
