Dreamy Italian Town Puzzle

This puzzle is of medium difficulty, largely due to two things. One is the vibrant and varied colors, and the other is the sharpness of the photo. It's HD and sharp from foreground to infinity. I did have a bit of a challenge with the sky after I got the skyline and sunset done, but when I finished the rest of the puzzle, I turned it around so the sky was next to me, and finished it quickly.

The pieces are the standard bump-hole, with 1 to 4 bumps or holes each, and an occasional piece with a wavy side. They're obviously similar, but distinctive enough most of the time, though occasionally I would put the wrong one, and it seemed to work, until I tried putting pieces next to it. Sometimes this had to be corrected.

I loved this puzzle for the vibrant colors, and the little details on the porches like lawn chairs. It was great fun to do, with very little frustration. I'm giving most of my puzzle collection away, but I will keep this one. And it is always great to be able to "travel" to interesting places I can't afford to visit in person.

This is a great puzzle! I thought it was going to be hard because the ocean was similar colors but it actually was not that difficult! There was enough variety that made it semi-easy to put together. This took me about a week and am very impressed with the colors of it. I put this together for my sister for Christmas and she hasn’t seen it yet but I’m sure she will love it too! As always, this game puzzles are great quality for the price! I recommend this puzzle and this brand I anyone who loves to do puzzles! There have been many people who say that there were damaged pieces, however that was not my experience. All of my pieces fit together well and made a beautiful finished product.

I bought the 2000 piece version of this puzzle previously and found it a bit overwhelming given the size of the pieces and the size of the finished product (nearly 40" wide). I thought I would try the 1000 piece version as I have built several other puzzles with this number of pieces. It makes fine pieces in both cases and they are roughly the same size with the 2000 and 1000 versions (the 1000 piece version is much smaller, about 26 inches wide, when finished). You clearly know if you have the right piece or not 99% of the time. The same cannot be said of other manufacturers. I found the 1000 piece version more to my liking as I was able to complete it more quickly. Very brilliant colors in this particular puzzle and clearly the best of about seven different puzzles of the same town in Italy that are for sale. They increased the color intensity and saturation to get the almost-unreal colors for this version, but I like it and it looks great when done.

This is a beautiful puzzle and well made. No puzzle dust in the box, and no missing pieces. You can tell by looking at the picture that it will be a challenging puzzle, which is why I purchased it. Why would you buy a puzzle you can finish in one sitting. The puzzle poster included was a real plus. I will admit a few pieces were a bit damaged, but that's not unusual. I found that it was pretty easy to tell if you had the wrong piece. It would be just a little off. That's part of the fun.

This was a very attractive picture and, since I had been here before, very nostalgic. The actual design is closer to a detailed painting than a photograph, but the Mediterranean really is as beautiful as this puzzle depicts.

There was some minor separating of the edges of the pieces and one clear wrinkle, but let's be honest, you'll always get this as you sort pieces out and drop them in your couch only to sit on them later, accidentally. Then after accusing your significant other of hiding the last piece again so they get to 'finish' the puzzle themselves, you will eventually find that last piece, apologize profusely, and be able to stand back and admire the scenery. Enjoy!
