Under the Tuscan Sun
Sometimes I dream in Italian


M'illumino d'immenso
I fill myself with light
which knows no bounds
Tyrrhenian Sea
Tuscany
Italy

*M'illumino d'immenso"
Giuseppe Ungaretti
There are various translations
out there, the above is my own

  5. I really like "Uccellina park" where Ombrone river goes inside Tirrenyan sea. Where empty and lonely strand wait for us, mixing with marsh, sea and sky
