Side Street of Florence

I sketched at a side street near famous Duomo in Florence while my wife went shopping.

There are many old side streets like this in other cities in Italy such as Assisi and Perugia too.

The broken bricks of walls and the worn away stone of streets make us feel the history. They are not special historic spots. They are used for ordinary life even today. That impresses us the more.
