Italy looks back at the "literary and artistic" figure in Florence

Traveling is a way of leisure, so why not another kind of practice?
In Florence for four days, walking through the streets and alleys there, bathing in the clear Tuscan sunshine, visiting the masters of the Renaissance and their immortal creations, walking and gazing, and practiced culture and art.

Florence, the ancient city of Italian culture and art. It has a rich artistic heritage and long-term cultural influence. Because it is the birthplace of the European Renaissance, I have long been longing for it. Now I can finally sit here and spend a while.

The Tuscan sun shines on the Arno River, and the clear river flows slowly through the city, taking away the past time, but the history and culture are still flowing.

On the high side of the Arno River, Michelangelo Square is the best place to look at Florence. In the center of the square is a replica of Michelangelo’s David statue. We are now following his gaze, taking a panoramic view from left to right.

The great pioneer of the Renaissance poet Dante, the scientist Galileo, the political theorist Machiavelli, and the talented artists Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo have all lived here.

Florence can be regarded as the unique model left to today during the European Renaissance. There are more than 40 museums and art galleries; more than 60 palaces and many large and small churches and squares. The large collection of excellent art works and exquisite cultural relics has become an arty reason for many "artists" and non-literary and artistic people. A few hundred years later, we can also visit and share, and we should be grateful for the cultural conscience of mankind.

Overlooking the Hundred Flowers Cathedral, built in 1296, it is the "business card" of the city. Florence was once translated as "Emerald" by the poet Xu Zhimo, perhaps because of the emerald-like hue of this building.

Lorenza's tone is not really as emerald green. The most typical weather here, and also the most typical weather in Tuscany, is the blue sky and white clouds under the sun. Brightly colored walls, dark green shutters, and dark red roof are the signature colors here.

The building with a spire on the left is the Church of the Holy Cross. The urban area still maintains the pattern of the ancient Roman period. I just walked over from the streets of the medieval buildings in the old city, and I feel like traveling through time and space.

A Chinese writer said in the article "Florence is still young": Dante’s poetic soul, Da. Vinci's painting soul is still floating above Florence, and the rich cultural atmosphere makes Florence's streets and alleys, square churches, or museums and galleries look so young and vigorous. This time I mostly came to look back at the Renaissance. I didn't want to overlook the glory of the past. I just looked forward to touching a part of the cultural temperature that has survived today, and finding some inspiration and insights.
