Pietrasanta is one of my favourite towns in Italy. I try to fit in a few visits whenever I am here. I am never disappointed.
We were in town for the last day of the butterflies. They were being taken down as we walked along the main street .
In the main piazza wonderful art pieces are on display.
There are other things dotted around the town.
I love this doorway.
The bell tower in the piazza is spectacular.
For the first time we found it open and could see the amazing interior. The tower is 36 metres tall and was begun in 1519. There are 100 steps inside and there are 3 full turns in the spiral steps. It is believed that Michelangelo was involved in the design of the tower.
We had lunch at 41, where we have eaten several times before. The food is always good.
The piazza looked quite different after lunch when the sculptures were shining in the sun.
I’m sure there will be time for at least one more visit to Pietrasanta before I go home.
