Endless Treasures in the City of Lilies

From the pearlescent wonder of Michelangelo’s David to Brunelleschi’s towering dome atop the cathedral, Florence is a masterpiece. The city was the crown jewel of the Renaissance, producing an incomparable lineage of geniuses which also included Dante, Galileo, DaVinci, Donatello, Petrach, and Botticelli, and still today retains much of the artistic tradition established through the patronage of the Medicis, flaunting beauties on every corner. The cobblestone streets and piazzas of town are lined with ornate churches, chic fashion boutiques, and cozy trattorie offering heaping bistecca fiorentina accompanied by full-bodied Chianti wines from the surrounding hills. Florence offers romance and history, fashion and charm – reverence in the halls of the Uffizi Gallery, airiness in the endlessly ornate Boboli Gardens, and wonder in the panoramic overlook of Piazzale Michelangelo. Gazing in the glittering windows of Ponte Vecchio with a gelato in hand, it’s easy to fall under the spell of the Tuscan capital.
