Tucked away behind a municipal building in tiny Cortona, an ancient town with Etruscan roots perched on a hill in Tuscany, this courtyard, with its intertwining staircases, reminded me of an M. C. Escher drawing.

The film Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed in Cortona and featured many images of the town, but this hidden courtyard was not one of them.
