Florence, italy - DAY 3 - March 8, 2023
After a much deserved good night’s sleep, we had a great breakfast at our Villa. We then took the bus into Florence, stopping for a bit at the famous overlook of the city. There is a bronze replica of the Statue of David located there.
We then proceeded to take a walking tour of the major sites of the city - the Duomo Firenze (Cathedral), the Piazza della Signoria, the Ponte Vecchio and the Basilica of Santa Croce. We stopped for a great lunch at Casa Toscana on the Piazza de Santa Croce. We went to a leather and gold shop - Rick was chosen to model a leather coat (very nice) and we had some free time to buy magnets and rub the snout of Il Porcellino, the Boar of Florence.
We went to a wonderful win dinner at Villa Machiavelli Winery - excellent wine and a great dinner!
