Hello to all!
Today I will show you the place where I'm living now: Pavullo nel Frignano, in north Italy. I will show a series of pictures of its nineteen hamlets.
The name 'Pavullo' takes its origin from the italian word 'paule', which means 'swamp', because of originally there was a marsh in this place.
Sorry because of I have already published three of four of these images, but I'd like to make a post with all hamlets together.
This is a rainbow 'inside' the monument placed on the main entrance of the city, located in Sant'Antonio hamlet:
I partecipate to a competition with these images, and this one has been selected by jury to promote local beauty, history and nature. This is Benedello:

Iddiano with its characteristic church:
