Please can any passing Italians wait for two days or so before saying where this is.  The answer is bound to be easy for Italians “in the know”.  Many thanks.

This week’s Guess Where in Italy? photo quiz on BlogfromItaly.com features a photo courtesy of @pixiebisous, whose colourful image caught my little eye when she posted it on Twitter.

Ninja obsessed Italophile @pixiebisous thinks that people, especially Italians, will find it easy to guess which picture postcard Italian seaside village has been immortalised in her photograph.

Now, although I have some idea as to where the place in the photo is in Italy, I’m not 100% sure.  All I know is that I have not been there, but after having seen the photograph, I’d quite like to.

Over to you dear readers: Can you guess where in Italy this seaside village is? And what its name is?

Just one little favour. As this should be easy for Italians, can you please wait until Sunday before guessing?

Guess Where in Italy? – Part 7

Towers, Italy has lots of them.  Pavia, for example is littered with them.  Italy’s nobles delighted in trying to outdo each other by building the tallest tower they could manage.

In this week’s photograph there is a famous tower, but it’s not in Pavia.

Can you tell me in which Italian city it can be found, the name of the piazza in that Italian city, and the name of the elegant building to which it is attached?

Happy guessing! – This has been guessed – see below for details.
