FLORENCE, ITALY

PIAZZA DEL DUOMO

THE CAMPANILE

THE AMAZING DOORS AT THE BAPTISTRY






STREET LIFE OF FLORENCE


PIAZZA DELLA REPUBBLICA
We came back 3 times to go on this merry-go-round, It is an old fashioned Carousel with amazingly detailed scenes of Florence.  It trully is stunning. The first time we went there we waited on line ony to have us turned away because the one running it wanted to go for lunch.  We came back.  only to find out it was his break time.  Finally right before dinner we came back again and Emilee was finally able to go on 4 rides. She loved it.  The horses are bightly colored and have real feeling manes.  The Carousel also goes at a higher speed than the ones in the US so the ride was a bit more exciting.
