Liam Soyuzarian Mickey the Cat
★★★★★a month agoMeeeeeoooowwww!!!! My name is Mickey and I'm a cat. I'm on holiday in Italy and of course this was one of the things I really wanted to see. It was a lot smaller than what I had in mind but I have say I was not at all disappointed and I would recommend any other cats on holiday to see it!! Very feline friendly😹 The local cats and people also seem very friendly too. Meow Meow Hiss; Mickey 🐈⬛

★★★★★11 months ago📍 Fontana dei Putti – Pisa, Italy 🇮🇹 A lovely marble fountain ⛲ with three playful cherubs (putti) holding Pisa’s coat of arms. Located right in Piazza dei Miracoli, it makes a charming photo stop 📸 with the Leaning Tower and cathedral in the background. Often overlooked by the crowds 🚶♂️🚶♀️ rushing to the tower, but it adds a sweet artistic touch to the square. Small, elegant, and worth a quick look while exploring Pisa. 🙌
