Florence, Italy is captivating. It is steeped in history and art (like Michelangelo’s statue David), showcases Renaissance architecture (like the Duomo on Florence Cathedral), offers wonderful outside dining (like at Palazzo Vecchio), and is a shoppers’ delight for mosaics, leather and jewelry. At dusk, stand near the covered bridge of Ponte Vecchio and watch the sun set over the Arno River and the Ponte Santa Trinita Bridge.
