I know that region.Don`t drink beer when you will be in the center of all that excellent wine. Use your leicas on the towers of the hill town ,San Gemingano and it`s landscapes. If you must have beer have it with a calzone alla casa at the Peruca Center if it is still there. You could take a short trip north on Rt 52 toward La Spezia to Carrara and visit the source of Michelangelo marble quarries.

My wife will be a working journalist there, and I will have plenty of time for exploring the region on my own. > I have rented a car, and we will live on a vineyard somewhere on the road between SanGiminiano and Volterra. (Firenze, Pisa and Siena are the nearest largest cities). > > I am posting this to see if there are any LUGers in the region. Maybe we could meet and share a beer or something! > > To keep this a little Leica-oriented, I will bring two M3:s and a M6 with Rapidwinders plus 21-35-50-90 mm lenses and FP4, Tri-X and Velvia film. Like I usually do, I will bring two photo bags. One big with room for everything and one small for only two cameras with 35 and 50 mm lenses. Most of the time I will be using the mini-equipment, as I like to move around without breaking my back. The price for using the M3:s is that I will have to carry an extra goggled Summicron 35, maybe a bit silly, but never mind. My M2:s will be resting at home this time... > > I am also grateful for whatever suggestions what to photograph/visit in the region. Thanks! > > Best, > > Hans > > NO ARCHIVE >
