“Not much was really invented during the Renaissance, if you don't count modern civilization.” – P. J. O’Rourke
There are some really astonishing places on this Earth, some for their breathtaking landscapes, others for their extraordinary architecture, some for their history, others for their cuisine…the list goes on. Florence no doubt, has to be included in the top ten of astonishing places on Earth, for more reasons than one, for its cuisine, architecture, art, culture and overall captivating beauty. Florence is like a magnet, attracting every eye, it is insistent that it should be in the spotlight and when you arrive there you will realise why…
“I feel , sometimes, as the Renaissance man must have felt in finding new riches at every point and in the certainty that unexplored areas of knowledge and experience await at every turn.” – Polykarp Kusch
