I saw Italy in miniature when I was in Rimini (Emilia Romagna) and it astonished me. So careful in details and precise. <br />What fascinates me... well, I saw them in Naples and Florence too. They are people, static on the left or the right side of the streets, wearing odd clothes and maked up like statues - which don't move for any reason unless you give them a coin. Then they take a magic dust (silver stars) from their sleeve and lightly blow it on you... I think French people call them "les attitudes" - they fascinates me so much, they really seem living statues and they also add bright colour to the local folklore.Michelanoreply@blogger.com
