Piombìno is an Italian municipality of 32,254 inhabitants in the province of Livorno in Tuscany. The city preserves
evidence of its past, from its Etruscan origins to the Principality of Piombino of which it was the capital; its long history can be summarized in the architectural monuments and works of art preserved
in the historic center, to the creation of which Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea Guardi also contributed.
The state was born as a lordship in 1398 on the territories of the Republic of Pisa.
Two centuries later in 1594 the sovereignty of the Appiano family was finally recognized by the emperor with consequent elevation to a Principality.

One of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany is in the province of Siena - San Gimignano. This is mainly due to its historic, medieval town center, which was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990 and has most of the region's gender towers. That is why San Gimignano is also called the "City of Towers" or "Medieval Manhattan".

The Mute Swan is a large, all-white waterfowl native to Eurasia, widely recognized for its long, gracefully curved neck and a distinctive orange bill with a black knob at the base. Despite its name, it is not completely silent and produces hisses, snorts, and grunts, though it is less vocal than other swan species.
Size and Appearance:
Mute swans are among the largest flying birds. Adults have brilliant white plumage, black feet, and a prominent black knob (basal knob) on their orange bill, which is larger in males (cobs). When swimming, they hold their necks in an elegant 'S' shape, often with their wings slightly raised in a display known as "busking".
Habitat and Diet:
They are found in a variety of aquatic environments, including ponds, lakes, rivers, canals, estuaries, and sheltered coastal areas. Their diet primarily consists of submerged aquatic vegetation, which they reach using their long necks.
Behavior:
Mute swans form strong, long-lasting pair bonds and are known for their devotion to their offspring. They are highly territorial, especially during the breeding season, and will aggressively defend their nests and cygnets (young swans) from perceived threats, including humans and dogs.
Cygnets:
Young swans are typically covered in greyish-brown down (sometimes white, in a morph called "Polish swan") and have a dull, grey-black bill. They grow quickly, reaching near-adult size within three months, and attain full white plumage and the adult orange bill by their second year.
Lifespan:
In the wild, mute swans can live for over 20 years, with an average lifespan of around 10-11 years.
In Culture and Law:
The mute swan is significant in human culture. It is the national bird of Denmark and a symbol of love in many cultures due to its monogamous nature. It is also the subject of the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Ugly Duckling".
In the UK, the British monarch retains the right to ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water, a law dating back to medieval times. This ownership is primarily exercised on certain stretches of the River Thames through the traditional annual ceremony of "Swan Upping," which now serves as a population health check.

Used since the 12th century, it was used by fishermen and small-medium sized commercial vessels. It was enlarged and strengthened by Jacopo III Appiani in 1470, the year in which the breakwater was built. Jacopo III's 15th century works were mainly aimed at anchoring his own galley, as well as other small court vessels, given the proximity of his residence to the Citadel. This inevitably led to a reduction in the anchorages of many vessels used for fishing and commercial traffic.

Los primeros días de septiembre las calles de Ávila se colorean y se transforman en un formidable mercado medieval. Publicaré una pequeña muestra de fotografías, de colorido y diversión, para hacerse una idea.
He looked like something out of the medievil days to me. He had a brother but i clearly fell in love with him and wished he was my horse for riding in the mountains. I'll definitely go back and take shots of him with the canon and brush his long locks... even if i have to search through sections of land to find him. Yes, Plastic Jesus, "Because he's worth it!!" :)
