Probably no more than a dozen or so significant cultural gems, but
an otherwise rather lovely medieval hill town with stunning views
over the surrounding landscape. Sadly this is also what many
writers, artists, thinkers and artistically minded layabouts over
the centuries have also concluded. As a result there are any
number of cafes, bars, hotels and so on named after Robert Browning
and other very important literary figures whose names are eminently
forgettable yet grace the backs of chairs at the main bar on the
piazza...including Hemmingway who seems to have acquired the status
of Kilroy almost entirely on the basis that he is American.
A rather bizarre, even by Italian standards,
parking scheme where you can only park (legally) in the town after
you have parked (illegally) and acquired a parking ticket from the
bar in the piazza. On attempting to purchase mine I was
advised not to bother as it was only an hour or so until the free
parking period; obviously traffic wardens rarely visit. I
bought a cold beer instead...maybe that is the point of the system! |
