My parents had been there eight years before, and remembered it being a small town with windy streets and quaint and interesting shops. So when we showed up and were greeted by crowds of people and designer stores they were a bit surprised.
We had a good time, despite the town's recent commercialization. We climbed the tower in the middle of the square (see photo below), and my parents did a walking tour while I explored on my own (my attention span is much too short for those things). And of course, we had lots of good food and plenty of gelato!
A few pictures below:
