Siena, Italy
from Europe for Visitors

Siena Italy photos pictures - streetworkers - public utilities - paving stones

Siena: A closer view of public-utilities work at the corner of the Via del Paglia and the Via di Città, not far from the Duomo and the Piazza del Campo. Note the rectangular paving stones. These are crisscrossed with hand-chiseled grooves for traction in wet weather: some in straight lines, others at a diagonal, and some in a herringbone pattern. (I watched a streetworker chiseling grooves in a paving stone and wondered if each artisan carved his own preferred pattern.)
