In the underground of Perugia (Umbria, Italy) – beneath the fortress “Rocca Paolina” run many tunnels / streets. And some of them still see use today, mostly as pedestrian streets (with a couple of escalators) that connect the city center with the bus station, some parking lots and a newer part of the city that lies beneath the ridge the city center is located on. The interesting thing about these streets is that they are the streets of old, former city parts that got buried beneath the Rocca Paolina when it was erected in 1540-43 following plans of Antonio da Sangallo (the Younger), a noted Florentine architect. The Rocca was built to tighten the hold of the Papal State on Perugia after the “Salt War”, where Perugia rebelled against a salt tax leveled by Pope Paul III. Before that tax Perugia had been a long time supporter of the Papal State, but independent of it, under the government of Guelph merchants (since 1198 when it left Imperial authority and placed itself under the protection of Pope Innocence III.). ++ Postwork: / cropping (to remove some annoying posters), curves, levels, sharpening, a little bit of burning ++ Location: / under the Rocca Paolina / Perugia, Umbria, Italy

Fiat still produces genuinely small cars, popular with residents in the centres of old Italian towns, but for ancient alleyways like this one, still with its medieval central gutter, there really is nothing as handy as a scooter, and somehow in Italy the modern sits so comfortably with the historic.

The three-gable design is attributed to Maitani, who had clearly undergone some influence by the design scheme for the façade in Tuscan Gothic style of the Siena Cathedral by Giovanni Pisano (1287-1297) and the plan for façade of the Florence Cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio (1294-1302). The bas-reliefs on the piers depict biblical stories from the Old and New Testament. They are considered among the most famous of all 14th century sculpture. These marbles from the fourteenth and fifteenth century are the collective and anonymous work of at least three or four masters with assistance of their workshops, It is assumed that Maitani must have worked on the reliefs on the first pier from the left, as work on the reliefs began before 1310. The installation of these marbles on the piers began in 1331.
