Italy, Umbria, Trevi, June 2010













Trevi is an ancient hill town in Umbria. It is a forgotten, remembered place. Many of its homes are empty and in very serious disrepair but people, longing to get out of Rome, have discovered this jewel and many builders are at work to do the necessary renovations to make it a bustling place once again. In the meantime, the market square is an active, happy place to find yourself. We discovered the best pizza in all of Italy, in a family run shop, just off of the main square.

We returned twice because of the incredible views across Umbria that can be seen from Trevi's cobbled streets. We intentionally lost ourselves in the alleys and walkways. The arches and the windows especially fascinated me.

On the way out, I was sort of dancing in the street when I looked down and saw the "lace" pattern my dress was making on the tar. It was fun playing with shadows in the sunshine.
