Florence
I must admit I’m not into arts.That must be the reason I didn’t like Florence at all. I did the touristic visit to the Galleria degli Uffizi where there are lots of masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance, but I found myself just walking thought the corridors, only occasionally looking at the famous pictures. I didn’t even visit the Accademia Gallery where the most famous statue on the world is (Michelangelo’s David). I felt happy just looking at the copy at Palazzo Vecchino. As I said, I’m not interested in classical art. I enjoy a lot more an science or technology museum that a pictorical museum.

More interesting is Florence’s architecture. The city is full of nice buildings. I love the Ponte Vecchio bridge and Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral. This cathedral is multicolored and clean, really beautiful from outside and completely different to the older, mostly Gothic Spanish churches.

On Florence I surfed Alessandro’s couch and he fed me with a non-so-Italian Curry Risotto and an amazing Tuscan Bistecca a la Fiorentina. It was great!
