One of the gates into the central, walled part of the town. Living in a walled town was great, it really gives you a sense of "inside/outside" community - and freedom too, like having a huge family back yard. Or maybe it's like a play pen - all the parents seemed to just let the kids go free all over town, all ages, just playing and running amuck in the narrow streets and piazzas. Hmm. I am now starting to see the yearning that makes people choose those new gated communities, but come on, those iron gated things filled with cookie-cutter houses are mere shadows to this naturally harmonious and centralized town in central Italy.

It's still funny to see a Stop sign in English in a small Italian town.
