Perugia: gorgeous, intricate, sprawling, new growth, old growth, evolving, bustling. These are just a few words I would use to describe Perugia. It is the perfect mix of a large city and a small town. There are both local shops that have been family run for centuries, and there are large department stores and designer boutiques framing the city piazza.
This is a stone blossom from the museum in Florence that houses the statues and pieces from the Duomo. I like the contrast between the soft, delicate nature of a flower and the cold, hard, medium which is used. These flowers are very common in Roman architecture, and are amazingly preserved in many areas around the city.
"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into." ~Henry Beecher
