Saturday, Jan. 5. After a night spent at La Coccinella Affittacamere, (The Ladybug House), a cozy and very reasonably priced guesthouse run by a young couple with wonderful enthusiasm and attention to detail, we made the short walk to the Piazza dei Miracoli. I felt inexplicably drawn to the piazza’s most famous “miracle,” the leaning tower of Pisa, and gladly parted with 18 Euros to be able to get the inside view. I took these (and many more!) photos to help tell the story of a structure whose beauty and magnetic power lies for me in its very “imperfection.”
