Siccome ci sentivamo in forma<font color=\"#ff0000\"> siamo saliti<\/font> sulla Torre del Mangia da dove <font color=\"#ff0000\">ci siamo goduti<\/font> il vastissimo panorama. Dopo aver risceso i 503 scalini della Torre ed essere tornati gi\u00f9 nella piazza, ci era venuta un po\u2019 di fame cos\u00ec <font color=\"#ff0000\">abbiamo assaggiato<\/font> il famoso Panforte e altri dolci tipici senesi.

First of all we strolled around the historic centre to admire this splendid town, then we visited its beautiful cathedral and the magical Piazza del Campo. Since we felt in good shape we climbed the Torre del Mangia, from where we enjoyed the vast panorama. Having come down the 503 steps of the Tower and arrived back at the square, we felt a bit hungry so we sampled the famous Panforte and other sweets typical of Siena. In short, we really had a good time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>2. Geoff, come al solito, <font color=\"#ff0000\">\u00e8 andato<\/font> in giro con la macchina fotografica e <font color=\"#ff0000\">ha fatto<\/font> tante fotografie, mentre io<font color=\"#ff0000\"> ho comprato<\/font> alcuni regali da portare agli amici. Poi, per riposarci un poco, <font color=\"#ff0000\">siamo andat<\/font><font color=\"#ff0000\">i<\/font> insieme al bar dove <font color=\"#ff0000\">abbiamo preso<\/font> due cappuccini. Mentre andavamo verso Porta Romana, Geoff si \u00e8 reso conto di aver lasciato il cappello nel bar, cos\u00ec <font color=\"#ff0000\">\u00e8 tornato<\/font> indietro a prenderlo. Io ho approfittato dell\u2019occasione e <font color=\"#ff0000\">sono ritornata<\/font> al Palazzo Pubblico dove <font color=\"#ff0000\">ho ammirato<\/font> gli affreschi del Buon governo e del Mal governo. Poi mi <font color=\"#ff0000\">sono seduta<\/font> sulla scalinata ad aspettare Geoff. In conclusione, <strong><font color=\"#ff0000\">\u00e8 stata<\/font> una bellissima giornata.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><em>Geoff, as usual, went around with his camera and took lots of photos while I bought some presents to take back for friends. Then, to have a little rest, we went to the bar where we both had cappuccino. As we were going towards Porta Romana, Geoff realised that he had forgotten his hat at the bar, so he went back to get it. I took advantage of the situation to go back to the Palazzo Pubblico where I admired the frescos&#160; of the Good Government and the Bad Government. Then I sat on the staircase waiting for Geoff. In conclusion, it was a great day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">N.B. you could use either <strong>tornare <\/strong>or <strong>ritornare<\/strong> in paragraph 2 without changing the meaning of the story.
