Florence, Streets

















Florence is an interesting town. It's a series of piazzas connected by densely built streets so it's almost like you're walking in a roofless tunnel which abruptly opens up into wide plazas. This probably is the most accurate representation of a medieval town where everything had to be packed in for protection.

It's also historically one of the most important cities in the world because of the Medici's and the Renaissance they birthed which basically revived all of Europe from the dark ages. That's an entire novel worth of information so I'll leave it to your own research but it's fascinating stuff.

Also, Bernie sighting!
