It can be a courtyard of a church or a point of interest. This lady, like another tourist sitting further out, was sitting to rest her feet from having walked too much. She's a very color-coordinated lady, from her outfit to scarf (wearing a scarf in Italy in August?), her hair wrap to her backpack, all in shades of burgundy. Also she's a very cautious tourist, even when she sat against a wall, she was careful not to put down her backpack, or the bag. The strap was still on her arm. I was like that too, when I traveled with my bags and two cameras. I seem to see myself in this picture, haha. Thanks, Bill !
