Florence

The syndrome of Stendhal In Florence, the capital of the Tuscan, originated this allusive definition to the effect that can cause the beauty. Its great treasures of art affected the great French writers between Dante and MichelAngelo. They say that French novelist Stendhal visited Florence in 1817, trying about to capture every detail for its newspaper. He spent everyday admiring churches, museums and art galleries and was affected a great extent by the magnificent waste of cupolas, fresh, statues and facades.

Eating in Florence can be an art. The restaurants are exceptional and the Tuscan kitchen is greatly refinement masked under simplicity.


The convent of San Marco (of century XIII) and the Piazza I of San Marco where David by MichelAngelo is displayed.


Cibrèo, a paradise for the lovers of the Italian kitchen (go only if you have a reservation and a huge appetite)


In the day, these streets are animated with leather articles and clothes sold (with a lot of haggling).
