Montepulciano Window

 Climb the hilly streets of Montepulciano and you will see a mix of homes and shops built from stone and brick. If there is a bright blue sky, the windows become mirrors reflecting everything around them. On such a day, a window can trap a building across the street and bits of the sky above it. Grids of protective iron bars multiply. Stare at it too long and you will begin to wonder what is real and what is a brilliant illusion.
