Florence: the world's greatest living museum

If you love art and history, you will be in heaven in Florence. I have been there several times, in different seasons, and the place never fails to inspire.

Everyplace you wander in Florence, you will find glorious art. Down a little alley, on every building... you will find something to delight the eye and spirit.

Living Art

Things that would appear in a museum in the US are a normal part of Florence street life. Here, a corner fountain provides amusement and relieves thirst.

    Oh, beautiful, exquisite Florence & the AMAZING DAVID, the ultimate example of man--brilliant, courageous, honorable, & physical perfection. What a joy!

    Ahhh, bella Firenze! I had the same thought about how amazing it is that David hid inside a block of marble. And now he's all over the city! I'm making a note of your restaurant tips. Grazie!
