Under the Tuscan Sun

This was taken from the town walls of Cortona and is of the church Santa Maria Nuova. Cortona is a town in the Province of Arezzo, Tuscany. It is one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League. Located at the altitude of 600 metres, it has magnificent panoramas to every point of the compass. It has become increasingly popular recently thanks to the book "Under the Tuscan Sun" by Frances Mayes and the film with the same title based loosely on the book. The author lived about 2km from the town and walked in for her shopping. It was glorious and the views were incredible. Great place to sit and we had a lovely meal at the local theatre - Teatro Signorelli overlooking the square. Wish we could have stayed longer!
