Touring Club Italiano

• SKU: TCI_FIRENZE_GREEN_21
• A concentration of beauty with few equals in the world, an architectural and environmental grace that spreads over the hills and countryside: in Florence, art comes out of the museums, pervades the streets, encounters every step. The icons of Humanism and the Renaissance - says the Green Guide - are set in an urban fabric that changes, in its own way, joyfully incorporating markets, showcases of high fashion and refined crafts, antique dealers, tables for tasty soups, secret gardens, and descended from the river to the hill. Here are some gems of this new edition, accompanied by a selection of useful addresses and the Touring cartography with the usual detail: - a flâneur among the ghosts of giants: the off-postcard city narrated by the Florentine writer Vanni Santoni; - from Brunelleschi's dome to the Torrino della Specola, a review of the incomparable Florentine belvederes; -the Uffizi in X-rays, with a focus on the reorganization of the exhibition spaces of one of the temples of western art; - antiques, modern art, agriculture, trinkets: among the stalls of the fierucole, smells and tastes of the Florentine markets; - the boxes of the big brands from Palazzo Pitti to via de' Tornabuoni, to the Fortezza da Basso: boutiques, emporiums, refined museums; - walks along the Ring of the Renaissance, 170 km of paths and cartways on the Florentine hills starting from Piazzale Michelangelo.
