Nice shots. That first one out of the hotel window looks like there was a lot if smog. Is that correct?

Really cool photos and place there Carlo.

One thing that impressed me was there are wide open spaces in nature, and smallish towns and cities with buildings 1000 years old that people are living in. There were enormous and densely populated cities with hot and cold running water, septic systems, paved roads, sidewalks, and municipal trash pick up 2000 years ago. These same cities are still there, still lived in, and there has not been the sort of population catastrophe that Malthus would predict. Somehow everything worked out fine, it's not a concrete jungle like Blade Runner at all.

Over here, people inspired by Malthus continue to predict doom and propose radical programs to deal with the impending disaster they expect, yet driving across country there is nearly zero population density across most of the interior. One has to wonder if in the future this will all be filled in, but looking at other countries the answer seems to be no.

this area of Italy is very rainy (but we had almost 15 straight sunny days). during the summer is gorgeous but I think the winter is tough. the village where we stayed has a population of maybe 50 people. it's on top of a hill and there is nothing nearby, only chestnut and walnut trees Wink

they start getting snow in November and it stays all winter....but the food is beyond belief even for an Italian like me who leaves in a medium sized city like Florence.
They grow their own vegetables, they have animals, they even make their own grappa Shocked

, wines, outstanding marmalades, chesees, cookies, pies.... Fortunately I am back home because otherwise I would get fat (not that my wife is a bad cook but we try to stay on the low calories side of things).

Here is where we stayed!

So, if you enjoy these pictures I'll had a few more Wink
