And the day was beautiful....

Walking along the Castle walls...
I love this shadow, I can always count on it being there.
This year we decided to visit the underground tunnels that were initially dug out by the Romans to be later expanded as underground passage ways for nobility and clergy to flee from the Castle unharmed, to then be used during WWI &WWII as bomb refuges.
And down we went....
deeper and deeper...
Secret passage ways ....
Enrico showing me where they had put dynamite to expand the tunnel.
still under!
Being funny with limestone..
The guide showing us the remains of a Roman cistern, and how it had been transformed into a hiding place from the war bombings.
the sunset was amazing.....




And to pass onto another subject!! We finally got to meet a new addition to the family, Mattea who was born in Germany. My cousin Dani is married to Caroline who comes from Germany and are living there at the moment, so it was nice to spend some time with this little love!
