Tuscan Countryside, Volterra, Tuscany, Italy

The drive from Lucca to Volterra took us toward Pisa and then south along the E80 highway/tollway until joining the rural road SR68 to drive eastward. This view and the following scenic images were taken somewhere along that rural route.

Springtime green in the Tuscan countryside. (Panorama - click on image to view full width).

It was hazy skies but the close green fields were stunning.




Looking for a fixer-upper?

Look ma, no hands! In Volterra, an unusually wide street in this old Etruscan hillside town.

Local pizza delivery by motorcycle! My kind of town.

A long and winding road.

Odd  place to nurture, protect, and preserve a lone tree on a steep hillside.

Volterra is located on the distant hilltop.

Another of the gazillion vineyards. Looks like the plan is to plant something else between the vines on alternate rows.
