Inhabited Beauty

For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

Why not ? They have restaurants, cafés, farmacia, minimarkets, drinkable tap water and internet. One café even serves as a nightclub.

It is country side so of course it have lesser access to public services like any remote villages in Western Europe but there are two 30 minutes frequency bus line to the nearest towns.

The main problem, as with any beautiful places in Italy, France or Switzerland is that it is probably overcrowded with tourists during the sunny season.

A positive point for Italy tho is that a good 50% or more of tourists are Italian, thanks to la frecce (frecciarossa high speed train) and ticket prices encouraging local tourism. Having your own population moving around the country to enjoy its beauties must be a positive sign.
