nell'entroterra ligure, dietro Imperia, una frazione di Prelà , Valloria, si è caratterizzata da qualche anno facendo dipingere, in occasione della festa patronale, ai primi di luglio, una porta del paese ad artisti invitati per l'occasione. Le porte "artistiche" sono ormai più di 100 ed il paese merita davvero un giro, meglio se con fotocamera pronta all'uso!
Sistelo, Pradao, Porta Cova, son tres pueblos en el norte de Portugal, con un vìnculo comùn, el cultivo en socalcos. Porta Cova ademàs es final de camino, la pista abierta al trà fico rodado termina allì, despues solo senderos y montañas.

The southern most of the medieval city gates of the town of Viterbo. The only decoration of the gate is the town crest: a lion with a palm tree. Right next to gate is Palazzo di Donna Olimpia. The house actually dates to the beginning of the 15th century, when it was built by monks who needed a safe place to retreat to when their own abbey was unsafe. Donna Olimpia Maidalchini - the sister-in-law of the pope - acquired the palace in 1564. It was later turned into an orphanage. It is now home to several local clubs and associations in Viterbo (and in some need of repair.... Trust me, I have been inside!).
I chose a sepia treatment here, to deal with the glaring light in the original shot (a midday sun in Italy in the summer is hard to work with) and to make the information sign and the car less eye-catching.
