Via Errico Petrella, Milano, Lombardia, Italia

This is shot looking south east along Via Errico Petrella, with the community gardens which have been an anchor point for this series of photos to my right.

The buildings on my left are clearly older style apartment buildings, but ones which are very well maintained like most of the rest of the buildings in this area. I particularly like the way some of the balconies have well maintained "hedges" to add a little extra greenery to a built up area.

The one on my right is clearly newer; I would say no earlier than the 80s or 90s. It would be pushing it to say that it had the same level of charm as the earlier buildings, but it's far from ugly.

Note the presence of a local café, the Caffè Liberty, on the left near the intersection. It has a rating of 4.4 from 23 reviews on Google as of February 2023, so it would make getting your morning cappuccino convenient.
