In july we went to visit our dear friends in Italy. They live in Lucca - Tuscany. They decided to spoil us with a delicious Italian specialities and excursions.

Among other things we saw one beautiful small walled medieval hill town known as The Town of Fine Towers - San Gimignano.

One of many shops of Pinocchio who is a fictional character of the children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) by Italian writer Carlo Collodi. Carved by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a village near Lucca, he was created as a wooden puppet and dreamed of becoming a real boy. Pinocchio is known for having a short nose that becomes longer when he is lying 🤥
