Monticchiello, Tuscany

in this wonderful mediaeval village, parked prominently in the piazza, sat this 1950s era Fiat 500C Belvedere...with a 13 bhp motor it could rip along at 85 km/h (53mph)..the model was nicknamed Topolino (little mouse), a name also used in Italy for the Disney character Mickey Mouse

Despite its diminutive size, the Fiat commands attention and admiration, making for a captivating image that celebrates both automotive as well as the villages's architectural heritage.....V

Great composition in this fine shot, although I must say I never would have imagined that the car was small!

Now this is a fabulous shot David. Great scene, great car, excellent B&W work. I always had this dream about traveling around Europe and other places looking for tiny cars like this in great environments. ~VVV~
