Phespirit goes to Italy
Florence     March 1999


PIAZZA DELLA SIGNORIA

Ex-venue for that quaint mediæval pastime of publicly burning to death society's undesirables.

No such goings-on these days, though a return would doubtlessly boost the tourist industry.

Florence, Italy: Piazza della Signoria.

PONTE VECCHIO

The famous 'old bridge' with its twin rows of goldsmiths' shops.

Observe otter in the foreground, gamely fighting against the flow of a muddy, rain-swollen Arno.

Florence, Italy: Ponte Vecchio.

SIENA

Children stand captivated by Siena's Fonte Gaia fountain, unperturbed by the sinister, monolithic, lurking presence of Phespirit.

The pleasant ambience of timeless Siena should fill all visitors with a sense of mellow serenity.

Siena, Italy: Siena.
