Tuscan Tour Guide
Tour agency
👍👍 Paul was such a wealth of knowledge and full of life! We loved our private tour in Florence. It was less like a lecture and more like a conversation. Paul has a fantastic way of keeping everyone involved in the dialog. I wish we had had twice the time to dive even deeper. What a special experience....

Cloister of the Scalzo
Museum
👍👍 The Chiostro dello Scalzo is one of the most charming cloisters of Florence. This is due to the cycle of frescoes on the life of John the Baptist that Andrea del Sarto painted in the cloister.
A stone's throw from the Duomo the Chiostro dello Scalzo is still relatively unknown, so it is worth a visi...

Colonna di San Zanobi, Florence
Tourist attraction
😐 Difficile scorgere questa colonna, dopotutto questa piazza è talmente magnifica.
Piccola ma con una storia singolare la Colonna di S. Zanobi si trova in piazza San Giovanni, quasi davanti alla porta nord del battistero di San Giovanni. È composta da un fusto in marmo cipollino sormontato da un alber...

Judith and Holofernes
Sculpture
👍👍 It seems likely that the Medici family commissioned the statue to be a metaphor of their rule in Florence. Judith represents the triumph of the strong over the weak as she stands holding slain Holofernes by the hair. The Medici family perceived themselves as defenders of freedom in Florence. An orig...

Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni
Historical place
👍 È il palazzo Bardolini una ricca famiglia di mercanti ed è un simbolo del commercio aggressivo ancora oggi valido pur essendo del 1500 :
1 . Sicurezza nella propria visione ( sopra il portale la scritta CARPERE PROMPTIUS QUAM IMITARE, cioè Criticare è più facile che imitare )
2. Scaltrezza (un corni...

👍 Realizzato da Girolamo e forse Giovanni della Robbia nel 1522, fu così chiamato per la presenza delle sette teste di cherubino che versano, attraverso delle cannelline sulle bocche, altrettanti flutti d'acqua nella vasca marmorea.
Il tabernacolo si trovava in origine nella vicina via Santa Caterina...

St Mark's English Church, Florence
Church
👍👍 Delightful--singers and piano solos are superb. Have been going to opera since 1971, listen to opera just about every day. This opera company--quality, warmth, phrasing and tone-- is spot on and further enhanced by intelligent, insightful introductions of the arias. On this night of Friday, Septembe...

Giardino Nidiaci
Community garden
👍👍 Il giardino, donato alla popolazione di San Frediano dalla Croce Rossa Americana nel 1920, è quasi sconosciuto eppure è il cuore segreto del rione, un posto dove i bambini possono giocare in pace e sicurezza e le famiglie ritrovarsi. Corsi gratuiti di calcio, violino, inglese, canto.
