Meredith’s Perugia #12: A Colorful Event Right Now That Meredith Might Have Loved
Posted by Our Main Posters
The flowering of the sunflowers. Il girasoli.
They are flowering right now all around Perugia, and especially to the west in Tuscany.
If you are not pre-warned and happen suddenly on one of these fields, you can drive right off the road, the visual impact is so great!
Meredith missed ever seeing this beautiful sight, sad to say. But many of the foreign students from the university towns do go out to see.

Peter,
Thank you for sharing. These images are exquisite—and, as you noted, must be a breathtaking sight.
Hi Wayra. They are one wonderful sight, that is for sure. And of course… I did drive right off the road. Or at least parked and looked almost instantaneously.
They were the second great surprise of my trip last July, the first being Meredith’s Perugia. Especially at night. That has to be one of the most magical of towns when glowing softly in the dark.
We are starting to hear from others how they too are being drawn to Perugia, to take in what Meredith so looked forward to. Two of our posters have just visited, and my guess is, it’ll touch them for life.
