Give your images more time. The last one was a city-overview. This evening I wanted to take a closer look on it, but unfortunately it was already deleted, although it had a good rating. For safety reasons I rate more quickly now. Normally there should be no use of hustle on this website.

@Jörg: the pano of Cremona I really liked. I 've replaced because it seemed there was a slight error in the stitching. I will insert another time. Cremona is a good example of a city of the plain of the Po Valley.

@Sebastian: in Piedmont say that remembers the Great Wall of China and call it, a bit jokingly, the Great Wall of Piedmont. The wall is longer than 3 km.
The most surprising thing is that the Fort has never been besieged and has been used in the past mainly as a prison (particularly for political prisoners).
