Flea Market

Dan returned from his early morning walk and told me there was a flea market set up at PIazza Indipendenza. That's the one with the trees that I posted about a few weeks ago. 

There were booths all around the perimeter of the park. We walked through the entire thing. There were lots of interesting things, but overall it was much like a flea market in the U.S. However, all the book stalls had books only in Italian. I was a little tempted by some opera scores in piano education.

Sculptures?

Interesting huge world map

The street signs are stone tablets high on the walls at the intersections. However, they are not always there. And a street might have more than one name as it wends its way. 

The steps surrounding San Lorenzo are a popular place to sit, especially on a sunny warm day. During the week it' like this, rather sparse. On the weekends there are tons of people around. 

Many buildings have these large rings embedded in the walls. This one is unusual that it is on a corner. They were installed for tying up horses back in the day.
