660. The Mamertine Prison is an ancient roman pricon located in the Forum Romanum. The Prison was constructed around 640-616 BC, by Ancus Marcius. It was originally created as a cistern for a spring in the floor of the second lower level (there were two, the lower of which was where prisoners were kept by lowering them through the floor of the upper room), but eventually a passage between the cistern drain and the Cloaca Maxima was constructed, reputedly for flushing out dead bodies. In 1600 the prison was incorporated in the baroque Church of San Giuseppe dei Falegnami.

664. Bocca d' Arno (estuary of the Arno river) in Marina di Pisa.
On the background the Alpi Apuane, a mountain range in the north-west of Tuscany (despite its name it's not part of the Alps actually). The stilt houses are called "retoni", that means "big nets", which are used by fishermen to catch fish in the river. ![]() ---

667. Piazza Santorre di Santarosa in Savigliano, Province of Cuneo, Piedmont. The square is named after the town's most illustrious son, a nobleman, insurgent and leader of the Risorgimento. He died in Greece while fighting for the independence of that country.
