Synopsis

Enjoy exploring Florence in beautiful Tuscany.
Florence was the centre of the art Renaissance but also a place of political intrigue. The powerful families vied with each other to gain control of this extraordiary city with many plots, murders, and revolts.

Explore the streets of the old town, stroll along the Arno, and of course visit the museums to see all the legendary masterpieces.

There are five self-guided walks, and each one will take you step-by-step into the most interesting parts of Florence. They include maps of each walk section to make navigation as easy as possible.

Excerpt from the book:

"Those of us with a more morbid taste will gaze at Galileo's finger which seems to be making a rather rude gesture, perhaps to Rome for taking nearly 400 years to believe his theories. The museum seems to be gathering bits of Galileo, as they have his thumb, index, and middle finger – that's almost a hand!!"
