Italian Curves

I missed the Friday Challenge boat this weekend. Let’s try and make up for it tonight. Jen’s theme was “Twisted“. As we have just come back from Tuscany, I chose pictures from that area. First and foremost, the San Luchese hotel in Poggibonsi above and its delightful curvy gardens made of box plants. Box blight is a disease (fungus) affecting box bushes all over the planet but apparently, it hadn’t found its way to Tuscany yet, thank God.

In Fiesole, above Florence, the curves of a Roman theatre. What I loved best were the little white flowers.

More of the same. Like most ancient monuments in Europe, it has been extensively rebuilt. Check here for a 1910 photo of that site. Many stones were found in houses, all over town.

More curves and poppies, making up for nice complementary colours. Not quite faithful to the twisted theme, but my interpretation of it.
