Uno dei quattro leoni posti agli angoli del ponte Solferino a Pisa.
Leoni marmorei originari del 1875. Le statue, realizzate da Giovanni Topi, scultore pisano, raffigurano quattro leoni ciascuno reggente uno scudo con le insegne piane tradizionali: la croce, la Madonna con il Bambino, la gramigna e l'aquila imperiale. Erano rimaste al loro posto sia dopo la distruzione del bellissimo ponte ottocentesco durante l'ultima guerra, sia dopo la caduta di quello ricostruito in seguito all'alluvione del 1966.
One of the four lions placed at the corners of the Solferino bridge in Pisa.
Marble lions originating in 1875. The statues, made by Giovanni Topi, a Pisan sculptor, depict four lions each holding a shield with traditional flat signs: the cross, the Madonna with the Child, the bermuda and the imperial eagle. They remained in place both after the destruction of the beautiful nineteenth-century bridge during the last war, and after the fall of the one reconstructed following the 1966 flood.

I love Physalis. Both to eat and to photograph!
Physalis is characterised by the small orange fruit similar in size, shape and structure to a cherry tomato, but partly or fully enclosed in a large papery husk derived from the calyx.
The berry also goes by the names Golden Strawberry, Chinese Lantern and Cape gooseberry.
Not all Physalis species bear edible fruit. Select species are cultivated for their edible fruit, however; the typical Physalis fruit is like strawberries or pineapple in flavour, with a mild acidity.
Physalis fruit is a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, calcium and trace amounts of B vitamins.
These fruits contain 18 kinds of amino acids .
These berries are also abundant in polysaccharides, compounds that may help fortify the immune system.
Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

A house gecko rode shotgun on the wing mirror for a good stretch of road — wouldn't be shooed off, four feet clamped to the glass even at highway speed. That's factory all-wheel grip. Maybe it's time to trade up to an Audi haha!
Painting by Marcello Scarselli on a garage door in Lajatico, Pisa, Tuscany, Italy.
After several consecutive Black and White images, I was craving some bold colours!
Marcello Scarselli is a well-known Tuscan painter and sculptor who lives in Bientina, near Lajatico in the Pisa province.
Lajatico is the birthplace of the famous Tenor Andrea Bocelli, who holds his annual event in Lajatico at the Teatro di Silenzio. This has transformed Lajatico into a mecca for artists who exhibit artwork around the town, attracting many visitors and improving the local economy.

Van der Pekbuurt (neighbourhood).
During the entire renovation of this neighbourhood, the historic appearance of the outside of the houses has been restored. The new wooden doors, windows and frames have the original colours from the 1920s: ocher yellow, dark green and red brown.
De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.
De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.
Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).

Piazza Navona is a public open space in Rome, Italy. It is built on the site of the 1st century AD Stadium of Domitian and follows the form of the open space of the stadium in an elongated oval. The ancient Romans went there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as "Circus Agonalis" ("competition arena"). It is believed that over time the name changed to in avone to navone and eventually to navona.
In the 17th century it became a showcase for Baroque design, with work by Bernini and Borromini among others. The Fountain Of Four Rivers stands in front of the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone.
The space currently occupied by the Piazza Navona was originally the Stadium of Domitian, built by Emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus in 80 AD. Following the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, the stadium fell into ruin, being quarried for building materials. There are just a few remains of that today.
Defined as a public space in the last years of 15th century, when the city market was transferred there from the Campidoglio, Piazza Navona was transformed into a highly significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art during the pontificate of Innocent X, who reigned from 1644 until 1655, and whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced the piazza. It features important sculptural creations: in the centre stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, topped by the Obelisk of Domitian, brought in pieces from the Circus of Maxentius; the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini, Girolamo Rainaldi, Carlo Rainaldi and others; and the aforementioned Pamphili palace, also by Girolamo Rainaldi, that accommodates the long gallery designed by Borromini and frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.
Piazza Navona has two other fountains. At the southern end is the Fontana del Moro with a basin and four Tritons sculpted by Giacomo della Porta (1575) to which, in 1673, Bernini added a statue of a Moor, wrestling with a dolphin. At the northern end is the Fountain of Neptune (1574) also created by Giacomo della Porta; the statue of Neptune, by Antonio Della Bitta, was added in 1878 to create a balance with La Fontana del Moro.
During its history, the piazza has hosted theatrical events and other ephemeral activities. From 1652 until 1866, when the festival was suppressed, it was flooded on every Saturday and Sunday in August in elaborate celebrations of the Pamphili family. The pavement level was raised in the 19th century, and in 1869 the market was moved to the nearby Campo de' Fiori. A Christmas market is held in the piazza square each year from the first week of December until the first week of January.
