Lettere del Cuore Verde: Firenze, Finalmente

Si, finalmente sono andata a Firenze. Yes, I finally went to Florence. I had been saving it all semester knowing that I would go this past weekend and the next on field trips (thought I would save the money on the ticket). I won't go into to too many details, but it is enough to say that Florence is nothing like Perugia. There are people everywhere and it feels not like an Italian city, but an international city. It's an overstimulating place and I wouldn't want to live there, but it was a great visit. We did a whirlwind tour of important Renaissance pieces (all the way from Cimabue to Parmiggianino, yes, finally saw the alien baby painting in life. It's my least favorite in the history of art.) Spent a night with Cassiope and had a great time wandering the Boboli gardens (best ten euro I have spent this trip, the gardens are amazing!) But, since Florence is all about the visual, I will let the pictures tell the rest.
