Calle del Verrocchio, Castello

I can't resist Verrocchio's statue of condottiere Bartolomeo Colleoni (you can read more about this mercenary and his statue here).  I always enjoy looking up the horse, and enjoying the colours of the marble plinth.

I really like trying to see as much of the detail of the horse as I can, from my vantage point at ground level (and I'm not very tall, so I'm sadly quite close to ground level!).

I took a peek at the nearby Calle del Verrocchio to see what there was to see...

It was quite residential and quiet...

I turned my back on the calle, and headed back to toward the campo and looked up to this fantastic view of Colleoni's statue.
