Verucchio

We began today with a short hike around the ramparts of San Marino, viewing some of the sights that were obscured yesterday by rain and fog.


Tower of Castle #1, just as the fog was clearing.



We then drove to Verucchio, a small but historically important town in the Emilia-Romagna. A longer walk here, and an exploration of an old castle that was the base of the Malatesta dynasty that controlled the region during the late middle ages and renaissance.

We finished with an excellent lunch in a a very old building in Verucchio, 
served by a pretty waitress. Then on to Ravenna.
