The Chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova from the top.

Cortona was made famous in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. It was also the base for some scenes in Life is Beautiful.

We were starving by the time we got there.

We sat on the steps of the church while we ate.

The church is in the Piazza Della Republica.

More of the piazza.

Another shot of the view.

There was hardly anyone in town when we were there.

We didn't stay long. We headed back to the car.

We were headed toward Assisi.

Cool tunnel!

Almost to Assisi.
