Tuscany itself is a region with hundreds of very important 'minor'
towns: Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pienza, Montepulciano,
Pistoia, Arezzo, Cortona, every one is worth a visit. I'll be dealing with some
of them in the Travelogues, with more pictures than I included for Florence
itself.Walking at night, in the dark, along the ancient, narrow streets of the
Medieval centre: I feel like being in the XV century. And then, looking from the
Belvedere on the opposite side of the Arno river, or from San
Miniato, just a
few minutes further along the same road, the centre of Florence, dominated by
the Brunelleschi's dome of Santa Maria del Fiore and Giotto's bell tower...
well, I feel something great in my spirit, a sense of fullness and peace that
takes me away from everyday life.
