Happy Memories of Italy.

 

 

…………… after Mum’s funeral which we are spending a few days in the UK for.   Meanwhile I am leaving you with a few old photographs of some of the places we took my parents on their visits to us in Italy. Happy Memories.

 

The Roman Viaduct just outside Tarquinia.

Tarquinia in the distance.

There are a number of stretches of viaduct that can be seen in this area.

Tarquinia Museum.

Basilica of San Pietro  in Tuscania.

The Etruscan necropolis at Sutri with many of rock-cut tombs, there is also a Roman amphitheatre cut from the tufa rock.

Vetralla as seen from the surrounding countryside.

Outside one of our favourite places in Viterbo the Gran Caffe Schenardi, which  has been a cafe since 1818!

Enjoying our Garden

My Sister and Mum in Marta, this one and the remaining photos were taken a few years later.

Partial view of the Lago di Bolsena taken from Montefiascone.

Capodimonte, the town on the left in the photo above.

Finally Mum loved the wild cyclamen that grow here in carpets in the woods in the late summer early Autumn. Simply glorious I will now always think of her when I see them.

 

If you want to learn more about any of the places I have mentioned just click on the blue links within the text.

See you all next week.

  1. Dear Linda, I will be thinking of you over the next few days, as you return to England to attend your mum's funeral. Never an easy time. It was really touching to see all those photos today, and I'm sure that your mum and dad really enjoyed the time they spent visiting you in Italy. Take care.

  18. Very touching and lovely photos Linda. I hope the funeral is not too hard on you. At least you will have the rest of your family around you. I will gladly enter you in the giveaway, sorry you had difficulties, is it tea or coffee you'd like? I don't think I will go back and look at the snake, not too keen on them! I would love to go to that cafe you mentioned though! All the very best for your trip, love Linda x
