The Colors of Italy

written by robin

I love all of the different colors of Italy.  Granted, in the spring and summer months, the colors are more vibrant, as the sun is shining and the skies are blue.  So is the water…

The terracotta tiles have a warm glow..

The grass and the vines are so very green

Red shows up just about everywhere… facades, poppies and the ubiquitous geraniums.

And how can I forget the peach and ocher hued case and pallazzi.

Though it may not be a bright color, don’t count out gray.  The stone and marble, weathered over time, always tell a good story. They are a solid part of Italian history…

And metallic always make a showy appearance.  Like the bronze doors on the Duomo in Florence.

And if you think that is impressive, look at the inside of the dome…

Ah, the colors of Italy. How can one resist?  What are the favorite colors in your Italy?
