Italy


The Swiss Guards. The former army of the Pope, they are now mostly ceremonial I believe. They still guard the Vatican though.


A Fiat 500. As you can see, it's not one of the bigger cars in the world (it would probably fit four times in one Hummer). This one was also quite severely dented, but it looks so cute!


The Trevi Fountain. Probably one of the most famous fountains in the world and it was heaving there. Quite difficult to take a nice photo and I never had the chance to throw a coin over my left shoulder so I could wish to return...


Radishes on the sorting belt. There were radishes everywhere!


One of the statues on the Piazza Signoria in Florence. If you biggify you can see the standing figure holding the head of the other one!


Ponte Vecchio in Florence. A lot of bridges used to have houses and shops on them and some remain (Venice and Bath, England for example). Most of the shops on this bridge are now jeweller's shops.
