As the summer slipped away, I decided to 扱う/治療する myself to a touch of Tuscan sun before 降伏するing to the dark, 冷淡な, 早期に nights of England's northern latitude.

Thanks to the price/ 場所 (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) 利用できる at Travelocity and Expedia, I 設立する the Viva Hotel Pitti Palace, Borgo S. Jacopo, pittipalace@vivahotels.com where I had (Oct 06) a very agreeable stay. If you cross the Ponte Vecchio southwards, and veer わずかに 権利 just as you leave it, you will be at the 入り口 to the hotel. (It is the first building you come to). Good rooms, and the restaurant 近づく the 最高の,を越す of the hotel has nice 見解(をとる)s over the heart of the city. North 直面するing high rooms are of course "choice", but my high east 直面するing room had a nice 見解(をとる), too. I've only 含むd this "plug" because I liked the hotel, would stay there again.

This picture shows the Arno, which I crossed and re-crossed many times each day, often seeing someone out 列/漕ぐ/騒動ing.



Of course, the city's 広大な/多数の/重要な art treasures are a major 推論する/理由 to visit. This is the street between the two 武器 of the Uffizi. At the 最高の,を越す is where Michelanglo's David stood for many years. The Uffizi 申し込む/申し出s the organised timed 入ること/参加(者) tickets, so I didn't have to spend time waiting in a 列. There was an exceptional 一時的な 展示 about Leonardo da Vinci. I was successful in revisiting Rosso Fiorentino's "Musical Angel", which I (機の)カム across by chance on my first trip. It has remained a favourite of 地雷 for years. On my second visit, I was disappionted to 行方不明になる seeing it again.

Besides the Uffizi, there is also the Bargello, which 専攻するs in sculpture. It is housed in a palace which was once home to "police"... many years ago when 存在 調査/捜査するd could be more tramatic. The palace was a very 安全な・保証する place. This 井戸/弁護士席 meant convenience and meant that they could 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業 the doors for 延長するd periods, if need be.





One of the Bargello treasures. Another is a "David", for which the model may have been a 19 year old Leonardo from Vinci.



At the Pitti Palace. 公式文書,認める the people on the left, to give you an idea of the 規模. They are a little さらに先に away from the camera than the fountain... but not much.




I took part of a day to travel 負かす/撃墜する to Pisa. Not only fun to see the tower, but there were other nice things, too. And remember, it was from this tower that Mr Galileo dropped things in his 追求(する),探索(する) to understand gravity.




This is the 天井 in the cathedral only about 30m from the tower....




... and this is at the 前線 of the same cathedral.




支援する in Florence... 見解(をとる) from the 最高の,を越す of the hill behind the fountain seen earlier.




支援する in Florence. Inside Mr. Brunellesch's ドーム, along the long climb to the 最高の,を越す. Built in 1436, and yet remained one of biggest in world for centuries... It is still the largest masonry ドーム.




見解(をとる) to SW from 最高の,を越す of the ドーム.... On my trip to Florence with 法案 Spencer and friends, we stayed in a hotel in the big square in the foreground. (Hotel 直面するs W, is on north end of that 味方する of square.)

Another 見解(をとる) from the 最高の,を越す of the Duomo, this time to the SE. The church in the upper 権利 持つ/拘留するs the remains of Michelangelo, Galileo and Rossini... and an empty tomb, ready for Dante's remains, if the people of Florence can get them away from the people of Ravenna!




Looking east along Arno









My first 試みる/企てる with Serif's Panorama 加える! You can also see this in greater 詳細(に述べる). (The 見解/翻訳/版 I've 地位,任命するd on the web is compressed compared with the 見解/翻訳/版 on my hard 運動.)
