Pics of the Piazza Navona, the statues used to be places where artists and authors would post messages about political outrage which would not normally be allowed to be spoken by Roman citizens. #rome#italy#travel
I was warned that the stairs of the Torre del Mangia in Siena get incredibly cramped at the top, but I almost had to crawl at one point - and going down was even worse! #siena#italy#travel
Inside the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with it's magnificent dome and exhibition of ancient crypts pre-dating the Renaissance. #florence#italy#travel
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and it's cool gothic design are actually different colours of green and pink marble! It took 140 years to complete the giant dome because the engineering knowledge required to build it had been lost to time in 1296. #florence#italy#travel
The “open-air museum” of sculptures in Florence was a strange experience. Seeing all these incredible works just out in the middle of the square kinda blew my mind. #florence#italy#travel
We passed briefly into Switzerland for a quick stop at Lake Lugano. For some reason I decided it would be a fun idea to see how fast I could climb the 365 stairs. #lugano#italy#travel
The beautifully painted houses and the leaning clock tower of Burano, Italy! There was a challenge where you had to find a house that matched the color of your shirt and I think I nailed it. #burano#italy#travel
The glass-blowing demonstration in Murano, where they make the best Venetian glass. I loved that to finish off a piece they put a piece of paper on it, and this beautiful piece of artwork is still so hot that the paper will burst into flames. #murano#italy#travel
