It’s the Piazzetta della Fontana, in the old city in Ventimiglia, where it looks as if nothing much has changed in centuries.
Certainly no money seems to have been spent on things. The sort of medieval-looking streetscapes that in France would have been tarted up – or at least kept clean – for the tourists, have here just been let go.
But what’s this? In the upper left corner of the frame? That’s right, it’s a bright shiny new security camera.
Priorities.

They might want to throw a few Euro at the shoddy local rail service as well. That was one unplanned three-hour stop on our journey that we really couldn’t afford to make. (Then again, things only got a lot worse over the border in France.)
