Through a different lens 


Looking at things differently is not only good for you, it's essential. Challenging ourselves to see things from a different point of view and become more elastic with how we view things can bring about greater understanding, and hence, greater knowledge.

Here, J.David Miller shows us new ways to explore art, while Giorgio Magini's artwork reconstructs Florence. A four-month long mixology festival is another sure way to shake things up and a packed calendar of events is waiting for you to get out during these colder months and try something new.

With Valentine's day just around the corner, we have just the place to celebrate amore. The Florentine also have tickets to an unmissable comedy gig in English, have a read below for info.

SHAKE-UP
Cocktails
By Helen Farrell
If cocktails are your poison, you might be tempted to run away to the Ego Circus, a four-month mixology festival in Florence's bars.
On your bike
By Shauna Kavanagh and Eibhlin Priestley
With the festivities behind us and fitness trackers strapped to our wrists, two cyclists reveal the perils and pleasures of biking in and around Florence. One thing's for sure, it's time to move!
Dissemble/reassemble
By Giorgio Magini
Composite images reconstruct Florence as a tribute to Florence, born from the Arno River and bred in the city's piazzas.
VALENTINES
'Be my Valentine,' he wrote.
'Meet me at La Bottega Del Buon Caffè.'

The ultimate in elegance and intimacy, taste for yourself the artistry and sophistication of La Bottega's seven-course Valentine's Farm-to-Table dégustation Menu.
SYMPOSIUM
Psychoanalysis and the arts
By J.David Miller
Living in Florence, an incredible wealth of great art is at one's fingertips, but have you ever wondered why some artworks touch us deeply while others, perhaps equally renowned, do not move us at all?
