The culture capital of Florence  


It seems you can never learn enough about Florence. There are always more stories, more astonishing exhibitions, and more intriguing events nestled down every cobbled street. From the pleasure-seeking past of the ghost town of Consonno to Oscar Wilde's summer escapades in the city, Florence has many adventures to reveal, and the privilege is in discovering them.
