Very nice views from the Boboli Gardens (up by the porcelain museum)
This one grabbed my attention - can you guess where it is?

Very Italian (above and below)
oo-er!
Rather tight parking - no idea how the wee Fiat-500 is going to escape as it was similarly blocked at the front
Just round the corner from the Uffizi is a large planter filled with a large olive tree. Attached were plaques in "many languages" stating that the tree of peace was placed here so that no one would forget the tragedy of May 27th 1993. A quick straw poll amongst the gathered round tourists revealed that none of us could forget the tragedy because no one had any clue what the plaques were going on about. The "planters" should really have thought of this and had at least left some clue as to what it was all about*
A crowded cafe early on a Sunday morning - churchgoers chat over espresso before moving on to celebrate mass - possibly in the church where Dante met the love of his life, married his wife and other stuff - I found this little chapel very moving.
Yum!

Italy, May 27: A car-bomb placed by mafia in the neighbourhood of the Uffizi museum in Florence kills five people and wounds 40.
