Canon EOS 250D Taken on 13/06/2022. * Many Italian cities, particularly in the north, have porticoes. A portico is a covered walkway with a roof often supported by columns. It was intended to be used as a public way of passage, even though the property is private. Every private building had to build a portico by law, but the passage area wasn't their property. And at the same time, the owner had to clean and maintain the portico, which is still the case today. You will find people going out for an 'aperitivo' under the old-age porticoes, especially in the summer when it gets unbearably hot.
