We visited Rome, Florence, Venice, and Pisa last week. I’m knee-deep in photos and videos from four different cameras, plus the ones others took. While you wait with bated breath for the usual video summary, here are some photos I liked out of the GoPro camera. I found a couple of cool Lightroom presets last year that really bring out the colors from the usually-dull GoPro images.
Here’s an example. This is Cathedral Square in Pisa, with the famous leaning tower:

Here’s a bunch of my favorites –
Roman Colosseum – this is probably where the emporer stood back in the day
The famous (replica) horses over St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy
Dante statue to the left. Inside you’ll find the tombs of Machiavelli, Michelangelo, and Galileo.
