Little streets that lead to more beauty by syllybabe
Walking the streets around the main square was an incredible experience. I was just soaking in all the history and beauty behind every wall and stone step...slowly breathing in the cool air. There are signs everywhere telling you the way to get to this church...or that museum but I wasn't paying attention. I took my time and I remember I didn't even get to these steps until the second or third day...and they led to one of the most beautiful churches in Italy.
