Vespatour 2006 Part 7: Pisa

April 25th, 2007 by Albegor

Do you know why they call Field of Miracles the famous square in Pisa hosting the Duomo, the Baptistery, the Monumental Camposanto and the even more famous Leaning Tower?
Because when the poet D’Annunzio saw it he was so impressed that he described it as “Meadow of Miracles” in his 1910’s work “Forse che sì, forse che no”. :)
I already saw it in the past, but on 11 August 2006, after spending the whole day there I can’t but retain a pleasant memory of the view of the perfectly proportioned buildings and the harmonious spaces among them.
Not to speak of the Tower and the treasures stored inside the Opera del Duomo Museum where I met the kind Serena who other than explaining me the origin of the square’s name she also allowed me to try the PureForm system at the museum.
I hope the 60 photos of the seventh gallery of my Vespatour will serve to bring back some of this miracle in Pisa. :)
