Hurrying through the rain in Pienza

Th weather forecast promised a really bad day today, but it wasn't until mid-afternoon that we got any real rain.

Two of us had ordered a belt from Valerio Truffelli, the leather man in Pienza - so we drove back there to pick them up - and to see him finishing them off with such care and attention, was amazing.

We also spent some time watching people hurrying through the rain with their umbrellas - I particularly liked this mother and son pairing.
