This week, we travel to Siena, Italy, site of much of the action in Anne Fortier’s novel, Juliet. With a modern day woman tracking one of her ancestors back to Siena and possibly the source of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, it is sure to bring up romantic images of ancient Italian cities: cobbled roads, lush greenery, palazzos, quaint shopping and more. Here to reinforce these images are my pics (k, not really mine…I only wish…but ones I’ve found). Enjoy the tour!
For more book specific pictures, click here to check out Anne Fortier’s photo gallery.

Have always wanted to visit Italy!
@Estella – Yes! Me too. Maybe one of these days…
Years ago, when I was traveling in Europe by myself, the German family I stayed with discouraged me from visiting Italy, saying that it wasn't a good place for a young woman traveling solo. Now that I'm a lot older, I want to visit Italy. Too bad the only Italian words I know are food-related.
I want to go! I love this blog feature. It gives us just a taste of someplace special. What a nice Monday pick-me-up. Thanks.
Ahh, we spent 4 lovely days in Sienna on a four week trip through Italy. Those photos bring back some great memories. It's a beautiful city, especially at night when it quiets down some.
Beautiful….
@Sheree – It's always nice to be able to share the travelling experience with someone, I think. And remember "ciao" means hello and goodbye, so a two-fer word 😉
@LSUReader – Thank you! You have no idea how good that made me feel! I'm very glad you enjoy my posts….and one day, the pics will actually be mine, lol.
@JenM – Ooh, I'm so jealous! It just looks so beautiful. Hopefully I did it justice…
@Chelsea – Thanks for stopping by!
Oh I love that big home by the still water! 🙂 Italy looks like a place we need to add to our list of tours when we go to Europe and tour the libraries. ;D
Another great post!
@Melissa – Thanks! You know…this is starting to sound more like we need a year long sabbatical to accomplish all of this, lol.
