Over the past 15 years Firenze has never lost my attention. This city really has it all. If you dig italian renaissance art, 85% lives here. The food, the architecture, the art and having the language surround me makes my heart happy.

If you end up on a quest to learn Italian, this is the city where most of the schools are situated. That’s because Italy was born so late (1871) with all those dialects they had to choose a central place to pull the country together. I can honestly say learning Italian was one of the best accomplishments for me because of all the doors it’s opened.

I know this city as well as San Francisco. I still find new adventures and the city does change as we move through time. Firenze has my heart as well as my admiration.
