Simply walking through the streets of the town transports you back into the past. This is a place that has remained intact, there is a genuineness to the city and its people, just as has been described by so many famous poets and writers.tuscany capital

Yesterday I showed you a smaller town in Tuscany, Vinci. Today we go bigger. This is why I want to first present photos from the distance and later on pick on the details, architecture and city spirit.

This city is the heart of Tuscany and the birthplace of Italian Renaissance. Still not sure which city it is?

I didn't want to post too many photos because then they will lose its charm. I hope to travel to this province again one day and take even better photos and look around. There are so many details I must have missed last time.

I will leave you with this lovely quote and show you more tomorrow :)

Sure, Florence is touristy. But where else can you stroll the same pedestrian streets walked by Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Botticelli while savoring the world's best gelato?
