Taken in May 2007 at a small shop on the Oltrarno side of the Arno River in Florence (Firenze, Italie), Italy, near the Ponte Vecchio, probably on Borgo San Jacobo, but can't be certain. Taken by Shadowfax11. The detail of the patterns in the ties and the colours and, of course, the novel display are the attraction h...

A tower has stood on this spot in Venice since the 10th century. The present campanile is a reproduction of a brick structure by renaissance master builder Bertola Bon which collapsed suddenly in 1912.

(Note: This hand-held panorama was taken in May 2007, when there was scaffolding on one side of the Basilica during renovation work there.) Called by Napoleon "the drawing room of Europe", the Piazza San Marco is a must-see destination for every visitor to Venice. The Square is anchored on one end by the heavily orn...
