The entire town was decked out in its best as well not to be upstaged by the vendors!
I just love potted plants and old walls.
This was a nice old doorway.
This is just the front of someone's house!
Che bella!
Pienza was a delight to visit and made all the more beautiful by a fiera di piante. I wished we had had more time to enjoy the sights and definitely plan to return there for another visit. The fiera took place last year on the second weekend of May. (Why, just about a year ago!) Later in the trip,when we returned to Florence, I bought a tube of Bottega Verde Crema Viso Effetto Lifting face cream from a 1 euro bin in an underpass shop at the Santa Maria Novella train station. When I read the ingredients on the back of the tube, I saw that the cream was made in Pienza. So on the days when I put it on, it smells wonderfully organic (and not at all like the very tasty peccorino cheese pannini I ate there) and I remember the beautiful town of Pienza!I just love potted plants and old walls.

The old walls and the potted plants look wonderfully lived in, and alive.
I like such texture, a sense that the alleys have seen footfalls span centuries adds that feel of the mysterious.
Well said anil! I feel the same way about them as well. There is something about the combination that is so pleasing that it brings not only beauty to the eye but peace and tranquility to my mind.
