Stories

No return visit is ever a repeat. After over twenty visits I now know with assurance the best tips and personal finds, the dos and the don’ts, to lend even to guidebooks as I share my affection for the churches, galleries, walks, markets, restaurants, hotels and shops. As an art historian I explore the confidence expressed in her art, architecture and sculpture that grew out of the humanist journey that Florence took. I single out the Pazzi chapel, Harry’s Bar and Donatello’s St. George along with the glories to be had from excursions to Fiesole and Bellosguardo.
