  • The old Byzantine Church of San Andrea stands in one of the main squares of Orvieto in Italy. The church has an unusual dodecagon bell tower next to it with twelve sections.
  • The front facade of the Orvieto Cathedral is ornate and detailed with colorful mosaics, intricate carvings, bronze statues, bell towers and more. It is a magnificent example of 14th century Italian architecture that evolved from Romanesque to Gothic.
  • A view looking upwards to the top of one of the twin belltowers of the main cathedral, the Duomo, in Orvieto. The extreme perspective foreshortens the tower.
  • An architectural detail view of the alternating pattern of black and white stone layers used as the exterior facade of the main cathedral, or Duomo, in Orvieto, Italy.
  • A scenic viewpoint of an old monastery estate surrounded by olive orchards and vineyards in the hilly countryisde of Umbria near Orvieto in Italy.
  • A view from the Campanile towards the Piazza San Marco. The tiled piazza is filled with people and pigeons.
  • This ornamental bronze oarlock on a Venetian gondola is a traditional detail. This image has been isolated to a white background.
  • An artisan's furnace in a small Venetian studio where they are blowing a glass vase. The bright orange furnace is heating to over 1,000 degrees to melt the glass.
  • A scene from Venice looking out over the canals. The brick buildings near Murano Island have red and white poles for tying up boats.
  • A typical Italian country villa in Tuscany during the summer. This old building was fronted by a wonderful flower garden which is shown in the foreground.
  • A close-up view of a lion detail on the brick wall of an Italian palace. This lion is used as a water spout from the gutters.
  • A display of various grapes at a small street market in Siena, Italy. In lieu of a window display, these grape clusters are simply laid out in baskets along the brick wall in front of the store for customers to view while passing by.
  • An old Italian fountain in the main town square of Assissi. Droplets of water from the fountain are highlighted in the warm golden glow of the evening just before sunset.
  • A set of long shadows from three people, taken just before sundown, looking along a street in Assisi. The golden glow of a Tuscan sunset (or, could be morning) gives this image a warm, romantic feeling.
  • An ancient roman road, worn down to just a set of polished old cobblestones, leads past the Roman Forum to the Arch of Constantine.
  • A detail view of a window illuminated by outside sunlight from an old castle in Montalcino, Italy. The flowers add a nice touch of color in the foreground.
