Your Best Shot: Overlooking an Italian hill town
"Our oldest daughter was studying at the University of Urbino, founded in 1506, for the summer semester," said Gunvor Sacks of Richmond. "The rest of us, my husband, myself and our two younger children, went to visit and do a driving tour of Italy during the weeks while Stefanie was in class." This scene captures "a view from the Fortezza of Urbino, overlooking the walled hill town of Urbino," Sacks said. "Urbino, and the Le Marche region around it, was one of the most beautiful, un-touristy areas we visited, very similar to Tuscany, but very little English or American tourists, outside of the area around the university."
