I’m going to talk about Florence, located in La Toscana, Italia. I went there last summer and I loved it, and I want to visit it again so bad. I’ve always liked travelling and I really wanted to go to Italy, so was kind of a dream come true. I spent one week there and although I went also to Pisa, Siena and some small villages, I’m going to talk only about Florence.
Well, I know many of you have already been there so all the monuments and places may sound familiar to you. First of all, we have the Florence Cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore, with its beautiful dome and the tower. I think it’s very impressive, as it is so big and you know amazing. Then the Ponte Vecchio, with all these little shops and houses hanging above the river, it makes the city look very romantic and… there are also a lot of palaces, as the Pitti Palace or the Vecchio Palace, that nowadays are mostly museums. There is also a very beautiful church called Santa Croce and the San Lorenzo church, which is very ugly from the outside but in the inside, is very well decorated and painted. There is another palace in the Boboli Gardens, that in my opinion were very beautiful but they were not well cared for.
Then, we have the museums: the Uffizi Gallery and the Academy Gallery. The first one I think is the most known museum in Florence, it’s very big and there are a lot of masterpieces, whether sculptures or paintings, like these ones from Boticelli: The Birth of Venus and the Allegory of the Spring. At the Academy Gallery we can find one of the most famous sculptures of the art history: the David of Michelangelo.
Finally, I wanted to mention the Piazzale Michelangelo. It’s a square from which you can see a panoramic view of the city. To me, it was breath taking: we saw the sunset there and I still can’t find the words to describe how amazing it was.
