PIENZA STREETVIEW

21/8/2012

So, Pienza is next up for Google StreetView filming -- this Thursday, August 23.   Coming soonThe streets will have contrada (neighbourhood) flags out, for the upcoming Festa dal Caccio -- with pecorino cheese-rolling competition:  Pienza's humane and humourous version of Siena's Palio, but still very competitive!!   And surprisingly historic, too.  Think a hybrid of curling with bocce or lawn bowling, played on an uneven brick piazza.

But for the StrretView filming, should we dress up or dress down, should we stand and wave or hide?

Hmm, difficult to know the proper costume and decorum for Google Streetview. I'd say make sure the geraniums on the terrace are fluffed up and wear big sunglasses if you're sitting outside at the bar.
