Repubblica Square in Cortona is an open space in a city that is otherwise filled with narrow lanes, steep stairs and a medieval atmosphere.  Francis Mayes work "Under the Tuscan Sun" described renovating a local house, which pleased the town's tourism industry to no end!

Every village in Tuscany offers some small, unexpected delight.  Here, in Cortona, we see a copper dome adorning the ubiquitous red-tiled roof.  Alleys, stair cases, narrow lanes and a dash of unique architecture combine to make each city one that is filled with unique treats.
