Unforgettable Italy, Week 24 - The Beauties of Florence
Looking at my photo albums, I'm on the subject "Rome" right now (as you can see it in my previous post too), but with those wonderful entries with pictures from this city for this amazing contest this week, I couldn't decide to compete with them.
Therefore, I will attach here a photo of another "eternal city" (I hope I do not hurt the feelings of anyone who was born in the Eternal City - Rome).
Why is Florence also an "eternal city" for me? Or, to be more precise, a very, very important city. Not only because it is so beautiful (is there a city or village in Italy that is not beautiful?), not only because there is such a history that has played such an important role in the history of the whole country in general, not only that there are such unique landmarks (is there a town or village in Italy where there are no unique and wonderful sights?)
But because it was the birthplace and arena of action, among all the great personalities born here, of Dante Alighieri - the patriarch, the father, the founder of the modern Italian language.
For some reason, for me, he is the most important and greatest person who has lived here.
And, well, I'm not showing you the picture of Piazza Santa Croce with the statue of Dante, for example. Pictured below is Santa Maria Novella - a big and significant enough landmark, which is shown also by the long queue of people waiting in front of its entrance.
But this is exactly the photo I decided to show you today, when I am buried in my long-standing memories and dreams of this "never-forgettable" country, which remains alive forever in the hearts of the people who visit it.
And I hope you liked it! 💝
My Camera at that time was Canon DIGITAL IXUS 80 IS and the technical details of this particular photo are:
ISO 80, F-stop f/4.5, Exposure time 1/800
