Round trip of Cortona in Spring

Cortona is turning greener everyday, with more and more blossoms and flowers appearing...

â€œAll the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.â€ A great quote, by an unknown author said to be inspired by spring (and a whole lot more, I would say!).

A Spring that even this year, after 12+ months of Covid and despite the slow roll-out of vaccines across Europe, still manages to weave its magic. We miss our friends and clients, we miss the buzz and activity of Cortona â€˜springingâ€™ to life after the long dark days of winter, but the swallows have returned, as will you; albeit somewhat later than planned.

In the meantime, here are some more images of Cortona with its hillsides turning from brown to iridescent green; with red poppies and purple irises cutting a swathe through carpeted meadows with assorted hues of wild flowers; with olive groves shimmering in liquid silver, sustained by weathered stone walls - a testament to time and tradition - on backdrops of bright blue, but more often, moody skies.

We hope you enjoy them!

Spring flowers everywhere....and also a lone pheasant!

Fields are being ploughed...

Olive trees are being pruned...

Poppies and olive trees...
