Bari Antica... Italy

Bari (Italy) - Bari Antica, originally uploaded by Danielzolli.

A typical narrow street in the old town of Bari (Bari Antica). There's a lot of illuminated figures of holy figures and other private sanctuaries. Often the houses in these streets have no real doors, instead a curtain leads directly to the living room, which serves also as a parking lot for the Vespa. With such tiny streets it's not easy to orientate - but not too hard either, since the old town is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
