That Ravello photo is stunning.

So beautiful.

226. Cremona (Lombardy), the Cathedral of Cremona and the annexed Baptistery constitutes one of the most notable sites for Romanesque-Gothic art in northern Italy. Cremona is also famous for its world class lutherie.

I know Cremona because it is Mina's birthplace, one of the best singers in the world (60-70'). Fantastic pics!

Congrats to all of you guys, with special mentions for Federicoft and Pincio. This thread is really fuoriclasse!!

I save almost all the pics on my computer, got a pretty big file now! My grand parents were italian, and this thread makes me really proud of my origins.
If you're curious you can check the France - One picture a day thread, we're a few people who are posting pics here. Maybe someday I will try to post a pic about Italy.

Il buon Federico lo faceva...ma ora è desaparecido...

BTW, AMAZING SHOT of CREMONA!

After Cremona it has to be Piacenza (in Emilia Romagna, founded by the Romans the same year as Cremona, 30 km afar).

227. Piacenza's first settlers hardly left a trace; later Etruscans left behind a vital organ. The Fegato Etrusco - a sheep's liver in bronze - just about sums up what's known about early life in Piacenza. Discovered near the city in 1877, the sculpture is carved up into bits belonging to various gods. As entrails go, the livers of sacrificed sheep were the top choice of future-seekers - this bronze one may have helped inexperienced diviners.

In 218 BC Romans laid the city grid when they founded Placentia, a military colony. Established during Hannibal's daring campaign into Italy - giving rise to local legend that peasants adopted a wounded elephant - the colony resisted invasion and flourished as a commercial port on Italy's longest river, the Po. Also on the arterial Via Aemilia, Placentia was able to make the most of trade in its ample produce - grain and wool.

Location helped the city grow fat and happy in peacetime; on the other hand, Piacenza's assets made it a plump target for invasion. After the fall of Rome, the city was conquered by Goths, Byzantines and Lombards.
