Something for Everyone in Spoleto

There's something for everyone in Spoleto.  This weekend we'll be treated to more festivals and we're expecting crowds to descend on this usually quiet town.  On Saturday night the shops and bars will be open all night and we will be treated to marching bands and parades.  There will be celebrations to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the National Unification of Italy and the 65th anniversary of he Italian Republic.  There's a big World Wine Show on and we're planning to buy our wine glass and taste some of the many wines which will be on offer.  A Food Festival is incorporated into the Wine Festival so I think we are in for a good time over the next week.  For those interested in cats there's an International Cat Show.  Not sure that we'll make that one - watch this space to read about our activities.  Looks like they are catering for both Greg and Sharon here.....

Of course if festivals aren't your thing, there's always one of the many coffee shops.  The Cafe degli Artisti in Piazza Mercato takes an artistic approach to their cappuccinos.

The scenery around Spoleto is just as good on damp misty days as it is on warm sunny days.  We've had some thunderstorms this week and listen to the thunder rolling around the nearby hills.

Robert went for a walk through the woods this morning and took some photos looking back at Spoleto from another angle.
