Imperia, Italy Imperia is a coastal city and comune in the region of Liguria, Italy. It is the capital of the province of Liguria, and historically it was capital of the Intemelia district of Liguria.
The city of Imperia itself was created during the Mussolini era from two existing towns - Porto Maurizio and Oneglia and then raised to provincial administrative capital. Historic Porto Maurizio, built on a headland, claims to date from Roman times, while Oneglia which is situated in the valley of the Impero torrent is the business and industrial centre and has a more modern appearance. Tourism is still important today, but apart from flower growing, olive cultivation and oil pressing are important mainstays around the city of Imperia.

As a person concerned about Global Warming, I'm glad to see people recognizing the beauty of clothing hung out to dry. Here in the United States, electric clothes driers use five to ten percent of the residential electricity consumed in the U.S.
If more people would dry their clothes outside, the world would be a better place. (See Project Laundry List for more details, including fighting for Right to Dry laws in various states, returning the right to hang clothes to dry outside to people who are forbidden this privilege because of their landlords or community associations).
It's really good how you took it, the colored wall give high & the clothes hanging give drama. more your infos give more meaning of it.
Happy WW!
This is gorgeous! I love it. So romantic, too.
Awesome colors. Someday I'll get to Italy...
