La Torretta from the air

I have enjoyed seeing how the various aerial mapping from Google and Yahoo is capturing our house Here's Google - I reckon this is an Autumn morning... And a bit further out: And here's Yahoo - clearly before we built the pool, so this has to be 2012 - you can tell by the shadow that this is an evening shot! And you can see that we need to be careful about placing the pool when we build it..

Some photos of Papiano..

A beautiful view from the hills surrounding Papiano. La Torretta is just off the picture to the right hand side Piazza Vittoria Emmanuale - with the bar, supermarket, post office, butcher, tobacconist, hairdresser (oh, and a dentist of course...) The main Piazza The view up to the borgo The Bar (most important..) La Torretta from the Top Ridge - with the village to the right hand side, and the Colli Martani and Deruta in the distance. The Junior School - and the amusingly named 'Filarmonica di Papiano' The Church Here are some views of the medieval borgo The gateway Corner of the old Borgo An old advertising sign..

Sunday bells in Papiano - March 2013

Who could tire of sitting here and hearing the bells, which play every Sunday at 9.30am to call the faithful to church. The sound is just glorious!
