The Piazza San Marco is the centre of life in Venice. A colourful and bustling square, it forms one of the most vivid memories from our 1994 visit to the city.

This large square, the Piazza del Campo, photographed in 1994, is the centre of social life in Siena. It is, for example, the place where the famous horse race, the Palio, is held twice a year. The race takes place around the edges of the piazza.
