I introduced the city of Modena here:

When I went there for the last time, about two months ago, it had been many years that I hadn't had the opportunity to go through the historic center.

I, therefore, preferred to wander around rather than go directly to the main square.

I found myself passing by the old covered market.

This year in Italy, as in all of Europe, was a very hot summer ...

... but in an ancient town, it is easy to find shade under the arcades or along the narrow streets ...

... and it is also possible to find deserted streets, even though there are so many people around ...

... narrow streets with narrow arcades

End of the second part.
Stay tuned.
All images were taken by me with the smartphone camera. Some of them were slightly modified to mask some people's faces.
