It's time for a change of location for this week's here and there post so I'm bringing you some shit photos from Italy, a place I've been to several times and love a lot.
In this post you'll find some totally shit photographs taken with the totally shit camera I had at the time with images from inside the Ferrari Museum, The Cinque Terra area, specifically Vernazza, a shot from inside the Lamborghini Museum and inside an amazing private car collection called the Umberto Panini Collection. I've written posts about these locations before so won't go into it in this post as the here and there posts are all about the images.
As always, if there's a question you'd like to ask or you have a comment then go ahead and leave it below in the comments section.

Despite living not so far from Cinque Terre (roughly 2 and a half hours), I've been there only once during a school trip.
Instead I've been quite a few times in Liguria, when I was younger, both to enjoy the sea or to hop on a cruise ship (Savona and Genoa are two of the major ports near Tuscany).
Maybe it's time to consider getting there again, as I have a lot of good memories and would like to create some more :)
It's strange how sometimes we don't go to places that are so close to us but travel much further afield instead. It happens here as well.
Maybe you'll get there and take a wander around and see if you can find more to see and more good memories.
Yeah, this is so true! Quite often in Florence I stumble upon places which are quite famous and I'm like "why have I never been here!?" ahahah meanwhile there are some places where I've been for a few weeks in my whole like and I've seen almost everything there...
I guess that this happens because we always feel we have, and will have, time to see and visit what we have around us, so we procrastinate day after day... which doesn't make any sense, if one think about it, does it?
You're right about the procrastination and the time thing...but our time is limited and none of us really know when our time will be up so I reckon it's best to get stuff done rather than procrastinate. I get the impression you'll agree.
100%
If I can do something today, I'll do it today.
Saying "I'll do it tomorrow", more often than not, becomes "I'll never do it". I know quite a few poeple that live like that... and the truth is that they almost never act, only complain and repeat "today is not the right day, I'll do something tomorrow".
That's the right attitude for sure.
Also, Firenze...one of my favourite places in Italy!
I can see it just from the fact that you call it with its name, and not a translation!
Ah bringing back memories for me man! I loved Cinque Terre even though I was only there for a day. Such a beautiful spot! I didnt visit the museum, was it inside the zone too or was it outside? There’s lots of car related things there lol so it’s hard to keep ‘em straight
Cinque Terra is a nice part of Italy and our time there was really enjoyable. As for the museums I mention, they're all around the Bologna/Modena area which is about 230 kilometres to the west of La Spezia via Parma. We were based at La Spezia for several days and roamed out from there including walking the coastal path linking the five towns (Cinque Terra). Good memories indeed.
Hi @galenkp, I have the feeling that in Italy you liked some of the interior landscapes better than the exterior ones. Understandable looking at these pictures.
I have something like 9,000 photos I took in Italy over the several times I've been there and those images are of all sorts of things. There's a lot to like in Italy and I'm hoping to go back and fill in some of the blanks because there's a lot of it I'm yet to see.
Sure, Italy is a country with great contrasts and with very varied landscapes and people. So I look forward to more pictures.
There will be some for sure.
👍
The private collection must have been a unique experience, looks like frozen in time; I see cars with a lot of history, I can't comment about the other two because What can I say about Ferrari and Lamborghini? Just that I loved that photos and well, Italy is Italy. I think it's impossible to take a shitty photo in Italy 😅
I really need to know your concept of 'shitty photography' No way, mate, those photos are spectacular, I loved it, or is it just me being a car enthusiast? 😅
It's an interesting place with so much history which suits me fine. Of course there's so much more than just history to keep one engaged as well. We had a really good time over the visits we've made there and have managed to find something interesting and different on each occasion.
Wè visited Italy for the first time last summer and it was amazing. The food is outstanding and the wine omg.
Great memories thanks for reminding me 😂👍
There's a lot to like isn't there?
When I went for the first time I thought, wtf, how long has this been going on?
It's a long, long way from Australia but we've been back several times and there's more to come.
You've posted some really shitty pictures, but the one that's the shittiest is the second one, that's my favourite one with an amazing view.... although ... how bad is this picture!
Italy is beautiful, my maternal grandmother was Italian. Hug!
Terrible images indeed, I must be bonkers!
Don't worry, you're not the only one!
I love these photos - maybe it is because I also love Italy so no scene from there can be "shitty" for me and I also love car shows. I enjoyed your photos and the flash back.
Ah yes, another Italy lover. What was your favourite part and why?
Yes indeed - I must say I like going to the Lake Como region. We've been there several times - exploring the villages up and down the "crooked Y". This summer we might get out of our comfort zone and go somewhere else but we shall see.
Indeed, I've been there as well and it's worth going back. You must have many pictures from there, it'd be nice to see some.
Yes - I have tons of photos - good and "shitty ones" 😀. Here are a few blogs which I have embedded.
Going down the lake is highly recommended.
I loved Varenna - it's a romantic village;
this place has great food - no frills;
famous Bellagio and the surrounding areas is a must see;
I also love the spontaneity and friendliness of people we meet in these beautiful settings.
Also one must buy good olive oil whilst visiting - I had to see for myself whilst enjoying Lenno.
I hope you enjoy these fotos.
Wow, this looks really beautiful. Italy is on my wife's bucket list of places she wants to visit one day. I hope I am able to take her there at some point.
It's worth a visit or three.
I've been multiple times and there's still so much ground to cover. I hope y'all make it there.
My dad went when he was in the Navy, but that's the closest any of my family has been to it that I know of!
Spaghetti man, get it on it. The best ever. (That's an awesome reason to go right there!)
Will do!
Wow sir thanks for sharing such photos and content tbh I am a car lover and I have never ever seen such type of cars in real. Bcoz in India it's very Very rare. 🙃 btw which part of the world u are from?
Yeah, there's some nice cars to look at and drive I guess, works of art really.
You've asked me this before, and I responded.
Ohhh 🙃🙂 I might not attend that, sorry for this. I wish I would drive these car some days 😙😙
It looks so beautiful
Cheers.
