Bella Italia! Photo Gallery by Xin Qiu at pbase.com

Bella Italia!

It was my first time, and sure not last time, that I "briefly" visited Italy during 2011 Christmas vacation.
The pictures are just scratch the surface of the Europe's richest culture in 12 days.

For the sharpest view of a picture, please select the "Original" size option. More picrures will come.

You have managed to offer us a rich series of pictures which show very well know places, but adding to each of them something different, a feeling, a details…So this is not a gallery composed of standard postcards, it’s a clever and very enjoyable original work.
