The Fornelli factor

Yesterday afternoon, we took a walk around a nearby towns, called Fornelli. It's a hilltop town which is part of the "Borghi piu belli d'Italia" (The most beautiful hill towns of Italy). These are some of the buildings- fortified round tower, defendable entrance to the centre of the town, entrance to one of the fortified towers (now a dwelling) views. Also a statue dedicated to Bit-coin (now you see it, now you don't), a sculptures depicting the important things in life - a home, grain for bread, grapes for wine and an olive tree for olive oil. Finally we have a beautiful metal window cover and a stone with a hole drilled through, at the gate to a house, as a place to tie up your horse or donkey.
