It was a beautiful day at the beginning of October when Alessandro and I caught the #7 bus up from Florence to Fiesole. As it wound up the hill we could see the beautiful villas dotting the hillside.
The first thing we did was to have a cappuccino at a cafe, then we went into the Duomo to see the della Robbias.
Lastly, we wandered 'round the small Roman ruins of Fiesole. How beautiful to be with my son, in a place that means so much to me.
This is my latest PhotoHunt entry.

Beautiful photos you got.
Happy hunting~
Your designs are so lovely! I've never been to Fiesole but would love to go someday. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Now those are beautiful ruins. Happy hunting.
I will echo the others, and say just beautiful!
My entry for photo hunters is here
Stop by if you have a moment :)
Thanks for the info about da Ninos. I know where the campo is but have never noticed the restaurant. Sounds like a great place (and thanks for warning me about the chicken leg, LOL)! I'll have to check it out - I'm always looking for places to eat early so thanks for that tip too.
Hope you're having a nice visit with your sister!
And even more priceless when you've captured them in photos for those great memories... :) Great shots!
Great shots of the ruins and also of Alessandro. Good quote too and I always love your designs. Happy weekend.
Oh, I loved seeing ruins when I was in Italy.
Happy Weekend.
Beautiful shots of the ruins. Thanks for visiting us at snap2Days. Hope you have a great weekend.
Hi! Great mates think alike - I put up some Italian ruins this week, too. :D
Oh wow nice one for this week...Happy hunting!
What neat places to explore!
WE once spent a week in Fiesole and caught the Number 7 down to Firenze every day. They have a great roman theatre there as I recall.
Have a happy weekend Leslie
I was going to do a castle ruin but thought of a further island content using my archive.
I could have done some neolithic remains - a burial chamber.
Beautiful photos of that place!~
Yen's PH. Happy Weekend!!
I'm enjoying all the different ruins we're seeing with this week's theme. Amazing how lovely and interesting ruined things can be.
beautiful place! great entry!

Very pretty photo collection, hard to think of any of these places as ruined...
Such a beautiful place- so serene looking. Makes me want to see these places for myself and I've never been one to think I'd like to travel much.
I'm ruined
What lovely pictures!! It looks like a perfect day too. Pictures so often look better without bright sunshine. These pics have an ethereal quality.
You are a great tour guide,thanks :)
Very beautiful layouts as always. I especially like the third one.
Such beautiful countryside with the remains of those magnificent Romans to add to the interest. Great photos.
Lovely photos and I love the scrapbook style you did with them very artistic!

Have a great weekend!
Great designs, etc. Thanks for sharing.
I remember that
Fiesole was a neat place to visit when I lived in firenze.
Beautiful presentation. Looks like it was a lovely day with your son.
What beautiful ruins! I love the way you did those layouts - such pretty colors!
Very lovely, Leslie. How wonderful to be able to visit such wonderful places.
I was lucky enough to visit Fiesole once many years ago. It was a very memorable visit, including my memory of getting off at the wrong bus stop on my return trip back to Florence.
Glad you enjoyed your visit with your mom, your sister, and your nieces.
As always great shots, and fantastic presentation. Those look like some beautiful ruins.
A lovely post of the Ruins in Fiesole.
I'm sure you had a great time with ur son :)
Beautiful! I love the dreamy nature of the last one, with the flowers in the foreground.
Must have been a memorable trip! Lovely layouts. Thanks for dropping by.
I fell in love with Fiesole over the course of my one day there.
All those ruins and views and steep, winding roads, gorgeous colours, churches and art...tis a taste of heaven, to be sure! How wonderful that you got to enjoy it with Alessandro.
