True to our visitor guides and books we came armed with upon our arrival in Florence -- Firenze to the locals -- this beautiful city epitomizes the Italian Renaissance and romantic arts. Situated on the Arno River, the whole of the city is like an open-air art gallery, every turn more beautiful than the one before, creating a dazzling first stop in Italia.
