Walk/don’t walk.

The streets were rather quiet due to an unfortunate natural disaster. The residents left only their shapes.

Imagine a party where half the people are driving around on scooters while drunk. That’s Naples.



Italian trains.

Poggioferro.
Seen along a country road: Italian ostriches?

Parco Naturale della Maremma.
Go hiking here.

Saturnia.
The hot springs: natural, warm, free and a bit stinky. What could be better?
