Rob's cousins Rosaria and Livio took us for a drive through some of the beautiful towns which are near their farm in Miane. We stopped at Vittorio Veneto and Conegliano and wandered through their beautiful historical centres and also went to Castelbrando, a medieval castle

It was Sunday and the shops were all closed which was probably a good thing as Conegliano had some seriously good shops. It was another beautiful autumn day and we were lucky to walk through showers of falling leaves. Daylight saving ended today which meant that we were really on time :) Seven hours difference between Italy and home now.
Vittorio Veneto
Many of the buildings are in good condition or have been restored and have fragments of original exterior paintings.

you're certainly seeing some very beautiful parts of italy judging by your excellent photos. i'm surprised to see so much greenery in the countryside at this time of year: wish we had a real autumn here, it's so pretty. stay well!
