Cortona: Familiar Faces and Places

6 Apr

Clearly, we love our time in Cortona. The ancient town is beautiful and historic, however, it is the wonderful local people and the incredible friendships we have made that keep us, and so many others, returning year after year.

Here are several photos, in no particular order, and taken over the years, of some of the locals or their establishments. My apologies to those for whom I don’t have photos.

As mentioned, these are just a few of the hard working people and places that keep Cortona functioning. There are countless others, so many more I now realize I need to photograph.

Like millions of people around the world today, their hopes, dreams and livelihoods are on hold. Hopefully in the not SO distant future, their doors, and ours, will be open once again.

Ciao,
Judy

“Out of the population of 22,705 in Cortona, we can happily confirm that there are no reported cases of the new deadly coronavirus in Cortona, Italy, on Tuesday, 7th of April 2020.”
I had to read that first to be able to look at your lovely photos without getting teary.
Cross your fingers.
