Book Description
Walking tour on 60-minute cassette tape. A self guided walking tour covering the heart of Florence from the magnificent dome to the Pitti Palace. This is a full day's tour or several shorter walks. A large print map is included with transportation, toilets, ATMs and eating arrangements clearly marked. Narration is clear and interesting. The Cicerone shows the traveler the beginning work of the Renaissance and tells of the genius that created the famous and elegant Dome. He shows us where the Elves and Goblins waged a war so ferocious that all of Europe talked about it. See where the Medici had their humble beginnings in the medieval section and the Palace they finally ruled in. See the square where Michelangelo put his famous David and the infamous Bonfire of the Vanities threatened to destroy Florence's great art. Florence is like no other city in the world. The Cicerone helps us see why.
