    Reminds me of Bellagio on Lake Como. So much history makes it feel magical. Some of these shots remind me of videogames like foundation. Though the narrow streets are crazy for modern things like rental cars vs lorry drivers, our rental car may have been returned with a few extra scratches on the hubcaps and scuffs on the paint.

    For anyone getting AI generated vibes like me and @Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works

    The posted night image is heavily edited. Beyond light filters, the entire bottom center and bottom left layer was copy pasta’d to hide some dead space and a switchback snakey road. See in the bottom center, there is a white parked car that repeats itself.

    Someone heavily edited the lighting, and potentially stitched together several different photos/angles to get this night image.

    Here’s an unedited version showing the switchback road, and the parked white car:

    I wonder if the city mandates a particular type of light be used. Varying use of modern LEDs with their narrow, specific wavelengths could ruin a town known for its lights.

      Never skipped leg day.

      Those small villages in Italy are fascinating. Looks like there are some pathways and small roads so you could probably use a moped or a handcart to get your bigger shopping back home.

      I get that everyone likes to witch hunt AI art as if it’s the bane of humanity, but this is such an idiotic comment. You can literally Google the city.

        The bottom layer of the photo was altered, you can see something like a parked cae that repeats itself, middle of the OP image, the two bottom layers partially repeat.

          Altered photo, sure. But this is a famously known city and suggesting it’s just an AI image is ridiculous. You can literally take 1 minute to search this city name and see countless night time images similar to this one.

            I think the original photo posted was heavily edited, hence the complaints. Not sure if you were looking at the newer edit or not (see other comments for context)

              It wasn’t that heavily edited. Like I said in another comment, a quick Google image search shows tons of official photos that were shot with a similar style. It just looked like it had a long shutter exposure making the lights look a lot more vivid/bright than natural and the bottom had been altered in a way that seemed to try and avoid auto copyright detection. Anyway, people are welcome to believe what they want.

              My man, it is. It’s only slightly altered. Like I said, there’s dozens of images online that look the same. I imagine the glitch at the bottom is an attempt to avoid auto copyright detection bots.
