Montefalco, July 22nd



On the way to Montefalco we stopped briefly at a sunflower field for a photo shoot. You can see from the photo that the sunflowers were almost as tall as us. We arrived at the ancient city of Roman origin. It's name means, "Falcon Mount", because it is so high up and provides spectacular views of the Umbrian landscape. We visited the church of San Francesco and studied the frescos of the Florentine painter, Benozzo Gozzoli.

  2. That would be a fantastic view. The sunflowers are very pretty. Isn't it cool how they follow the sun as it moves across the sky?
