DAY 8
Sinalunga is a wonderfully quaint little town not far from where we stayed in Tuscany, another 5 minutes down the road from Torrita di Siena. What I enjoyed so much about Sinalunga was the apparent lack of anything seeming to cater to tourists.
For a few moments, it was possible to feel like maybe we were the only non-Italians around, which is pretty special in a place like Tuscany, which often feels overrun with English, Americans, & so many others. We stopped in Sinalunga for breakfast (coffee & cornetto) a few times over the course of our week.
Lucignano, much like Sinalunga, seems to get away with a much smaller profile on the tourist radar. I found myself here a couple of times during our stay, because the Mooring ladies are faithful patrons of a pizzeria in town. It's a picturesque place.
We were in Lucignano just after dusk, so many of the pictures didn't work out as I'd hoped. One or two were all right, though.
Yet another church.
A few more shots from around town.
Your friendly, neighborhood communist party bulletin.
The ubiquitous Medici coat of arms.
