Mantua, Italy and its different architecture

Mantova, Italia. That is how Italians spell it, instead of the English "Mantua, Italy".

At first, it felt to me like a typical city from the Northern part of Italy.

However, the more time we ere taking walking the city streets and enjoying the architecture in its old center, the more I could tell there is such a big difference.

On that particular photo-travel we went to several cities, towns and villages but I could clearly distinguish this one!

I gotta tell you, I felt something cold and dark, walking around the Duchess Palace, despite the fact it was a lovely warm spring day... The last photo in this series:

You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have always believed that while Color Photography shows the external part of our world, Black and White Photography shows the soul, the inner hidden side of everything.
