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....

Tabernacolo delle Fonticine
Landmark
👍 Created by Girolamo and perhaps Giovanni della Robbia in 1522, it was so called due to the presence of the seven cherub heads which pour, through small pipes in their mouths, as many waves of water into the marble basin.
The tabernacle was originally located in nearby Via Santa Caterina d'Alessandri...

Porta alla Croce
Historical landmark
👍 Located in the center of Piazza Beccaria, the Porta alla Croce gave its name to the place, which before 1876 was called Piazza alla Croce.

Loggia del Mercato Nuovo
Tourist attraction
👍👍 During working hours it is occupied by the sales stalls of leather items made by the artisans of Florence. A very popular place visited by tourists from all over the world, 200 meters from Ponte Vecchio. This photo shows the deserted loggia, without sales stalls, as if it had just been opened to the...

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...

Palazzo dei Vescovi in San Miniato al Monte

Walls of Florence
Historical landmark
👍👍 The few remaining parts of the Florentine walls, after the architectural renovation carried out by the architect Giuseppe Poggi (Florence 1811 - 1901), are enough to show how beautiful they were when we could still admire them.

Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni
Historical place
👍 It is the Bardolini palace of a rich merchant family and is a symbol of aggressive trade still valid today despite being from the 1500s:
1. Confidence in one's own vision (above the portal the writing CARPERE PROMPTIUS QUAM IMITARE, i.e. Criticizing is easier than imitating)
2. Cunning (a cornice wi...
