Bellissimo...
Taranto's citta vecchia (old city)
Musical Moments features music and artists I've enjoyed over the years.
Today's selection is Felix Mendelssohn's bellissimo Symphony No. 4 Italian:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HX_jF1_Tgc
Reminds me of my time in Taranto, Italy while in the service.
Night view of part of Taranto's famous swing bridge over the channel connecting its inner and outer harbors and separating the city's old and newer parts
Taranto aerial, showing the old city left, with the channel and swing bridge and the new city on right. My first apartment was in a building to the right of the bridge, up near to top of the photo. Our building overlooked the docks where the four ships are tied up.
