Paciano in Umbria, Italy is a tiny, picturesque medieval walled village that is on the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
In the heat of summer, the old streets of the village provide some welcome shade for residents and visitors alike.
In the middle of a hot August day one of the Pacianese town cats takes a long drink from one of the communal water stations that can be found within the narrow streets. The water fountain has a tap for filling buckets or water bottles and drips are caught in the base - which is what the tabby and white cat is taking advantage of.
Next to the water fountain is a window within a stone walled building. Below the window there are a variety of thriving plants. Many of these residents do not have gardens so their plants tend to be immediately outside their door or window, or hanging on the walls of the building.
