Back to the fountain...

I walked back to the fountain I posted the other day and noticed some beautiful colours...

underwater.

Osteria Sottoriva

Osteria Sottoriva is the oldest osteria of Verona. Three hundred years of history, back when the water lapped right outside the door and the clients were mainly the boatmen that worked on the river Adige.

The menu is typical: pasta e fagioli, pastisada de caval with polenta, Monte Veronese cheese, local salumi, vegs soup. Hard eggs and fried polpette (meatballs) are at the bar where you can to stand and have a good glass of wine, like those men, probably regulars who come for the "goto", a little glass of white local wine. No booking, no coffee, no commercial drinks (coke, sprite, etc.). A handwritten note (see between the lamps) says: servizio lento, slow service!

I love this place!

The Immaculate Conception

Madonna con bambino, Church of San Tomaso.

Today Italy celebrates the Immaculate Conception and it's bank holiday.

Filippini district

A quiet vicolo in the lovely Filippini district. Below is a little window whose green canvas curtain you can see here above on the left.
