Still to come: Cinca Terra Coast, Italy
People travel to Italy for no other reason then to visit the Tuscany (Tuscana) region, of which Florence is the capital. It’s a region known for its gorgeous landscapes, its rich artistic legacy and its influence on high culture. Movies have been made about it and you often hear how beautiful and relaxing the life-style it is.
My photographing windows and doors didn’t stop at Venice. I continued to be fascinated and to photograph them. What interested me most were those of an age perhaps equal to that of the building they were mounted upon.
“Florence (Italian: Firenze), Italy, is famous for its history…It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with approximately 370,000 inhabitants, expanding to over 1.5 million in the metropolitan area…
The drive from Venice, Italy, to Florence, Italy was our first real introduction to the rural Italian. When we had drove from Milan to Venice it was late evening via toll highways which offered few views of the areas were were passing through. For our drive to Florence we selected secondary roads to enjoy some of the flavors of smaller Italian towns and countryside.
With all the alleyways and passages in Venice, Italy, there are thousands of interesting windows and doors. We often wondered what one would find if they could venture behind those doors for a glimpse of the life those who live in Venice. I’ve selected these photo for their shapes, colors, textures and the interesting play of light and shadows.
