      Hey Anne, trying pick up some tips from you, since I have a trip to Firenze a day before Christmas and don’t want to be without food for a couple of days. Do you know if they’ll be it least somewhere to get groceries or take out on Christmas Eve?

    I have some many lovely memories of Florence of when I was an art history student in Pisa. In Florence there's a very interesting contrast between the austere facades of the palazzi and their opulent interiors. Enjoy your stay there!

    Julie, I like your attitude and interest! Might not be your channel's bailiwick but this may make an interesting video or video series. My favourite are classic novels. Usually contemporary novels written in past eras. Some novels have very detailed and very interesting descriptions of their current styles, architecture etc. It's always fun when characters, written in say the mid 1700s, are enthusiastically discussing antiques or a house's "history", just like you do minus 300 years. George Eliot (mid 1800s) is my favourite author (a female with a male(ish) pen name for literary acceptance (actual is Mary Ann Evans)). She and her controversial boyfriend lived in Florence for about two years to study the history and culture to write Romola, a historical novel with lots of description of everything. From the descriptions it seems possible to even map the streets, waterways and bridges of the Florence of the time. I'm not sure but it seems that Florence has preserved enough of it's past that even now the locations of many of the events of the novel could be identified. For decades I have wanted to read the book again in detail and take a trip to Florence to see how much is recognizable and correlate the history with the places and events of the novel. Any trip to Florence would be very interesting but tracking the novel to the city, and the city's history, would be fascinating. I have actually avoided seeing or reading anything about Florence so I could see/study it all at once during a long term visit. Alas, it appears I won't get the opportunity. Maybe your channel could do it for me......

She spent a lot of time in Florence while getting her Architecture degree - can you imagine any place better?! For either Art History or Architecture? But, she said often how magical is Florence, and not only for the architecture, but for the food, the scenery, the people, and the history! I would love to see it for myself!

    We went to Florence in June last year- v hot but not too busy. We flew with BA but I wouldn't recommend them - they have no ground staff at the airport there and when they cancelled half the seats on our flight home on the Friday (because it was too windy for the full plane to take off!) there was complete disorganisation to get us home- the Italian staff at the airport really didn't care about us and communication was appalling. We were fortunate to get flown home the next day but it took them a whole day to get it sorted and we spent from 9am to 5pm in the airport! Some passengers had to wait til the Sunday and fly from Pisa. Apparently this happens quite regularly!
    There are good trains from Pisa and they take less than an hour to get to Florence so if we ever go again, or anyone wants a recommendation, I'd fly to Pisa and then take the train to Florence (cheaper and planes less likely to be affected by the weather).
