::pietrasanta::

another small town (or village?) within the proximity of viareggio region.   it's small but pristine without mass tourism, you came as your guidebook suggested and you actually loving it!
 starting from the sculpture street with a frame that denote the start of the pedestrian

this city has a lot of sculptures, the city development is planned around the sculptures.  this place also famous for the marble production, hence most of the churches here are built with marble giving you the cool effect in the hot summer days.
 the courtyard of the church of saint augustine, with some remains of the 14th -15th centuries frescoes
 the mural that tells the story of the saint augustine that you first learned about when you're in malta years ago.  you remember his famous quote ' my heart will not rest until i find my rest in thee'.
 this is the lively town square where people congregate, also where the church of saint augustine is located
you just spent a late morning here, strolling through the pleasant streets while observing the window decorations, it's just a relaxing morning as you expected it to be.  and even when you leave this place you still remember the sculpture of the girl who kneels and prays... pleasant pietrasanta!
