Jenny Coulson, Salisbury “I would like to submit these three pictures from my visit to Rome in April this year. The sun does not always shine in Rome but I liked how the bridge was reflected in the river.”
Bridge Reflections – Rome
Author: Italia Travel & Life
Montalcino Landscape, Tuscany
Merrill Levine, Coral Springs, Florida “This view of Montalcino, Tuscany, takes in the landscape that stretches away beyond the town.”
Vespa – Radda, Chianti
Laurie Traficante, by email “This photo was taken while driving around the Chianti region, in the city of Radda. I fell in love with the Vespa on this trip. I love all the colours! What’s more Italian than a Vespa?”
Piazza del Mercato – Lucca, Tuscany
Reginald S Murray, Dundee “On a recent visit to Lucca, which is the most charming of Tuscan towns. In the Piazza del Mercato a shop had an interesting advert.”
Mimosa Tree – Reggio, Calabria
Mike Ariganello, Ontario, Canada “On a trip to Italy at the end of February 2013 we drove right by this Mimosa tree on the coast road to Reggio Calabria, on our way to see the famous Riace Bronzes.”
St Mark’s Square – Venice
Diane Bradbury, Cleckheaton “We’ve always loved St Mark’s Square in Venice at night but April this year was the first time we’d seen it flooded. I think the reflections in the water make it look even more magical!”
Santa Maria Castellabate – Cilento Coast
Denise McDonagh, Portadown “We love Santa Maria Castellabate on the Cilento coast. This picture is one of my favourites which I took in May this year. We were sitting having a prosecco in a café bar as the sun was setting and I reached for my camera and caught this lovely scene.”
Italian Puppeteer – Milano
Barbara Barker, Nantwich “I attach a photo that I took in March this year. The street entertainment was in Milano on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon. I thought that it was very entertaining and it was lovely to see the Italian puppeteer at work.”
Taormina Mare – Sicily
Ruth Downing, Stoke on Trent “The photo I’d like to share is the lovely view we had of the bay in Taormina Mare from our hotel balcony. It is typically Sicilian and thanks to the beautiful weather the sea and sun beds look extremely inviting.”
Camogli Coast, Genoa
Sue Perry,Victoria, Australia “On our trip to Genoa we took the train to the charming little village of Camogli. A storm was brewing as the locals were packing up after the morning market. The sea crashed against the village walls and the sky grew darker and darker.”
