Weekend in Settignano (Florence), Italy prior to the International Workshop on Digital Library Education, March 24-25, 2005
At the top of the hill between the church (right) and bell tower (center) is a small white roof, which is the roof of the villa our hostess, Anna Maria Tammaro, lives in above Settignano in Tuscany. The bell tower stands in front of the Villa Morgan, which is a former monestary, now used for conferences.
Two of the many beautiful houses in Settignano, in the hills of Tuscany, above Florence. The second is the Villa Michelangelo. Michelangelo lived in Settignano, as did many other artists who were soponsored by the Medicis.
