The town itself exudes art and beauty around. This is where it was discovered (and is still happening today) that when art and beauty are excessive can cause Stendhal Syndrome. It was discovered in the church of Santa Croce, which is exactly where they are buried Galileo Galilei, Michelangelo and Maquiavelli, to name a few examples. It was also the birthplace of Florence Nightingale, the forerunner of today's nursing, and precisely this was the city that gave her the name. Here is located one of the most famous art galleries in the world, "the Uffizi gallery", and one of the most famous bridges in the world and perhaps the most romantic of all, the "Ponte Vecchio", all presided over by the huge dome Brunoleschi, and where the famous David by Michelangelo is located, although the city can boast of having three for lack of one. Also here we can find the Palazzo Pitty, The Convent of San Marcos, La segnoria, San Migniato al Monte, the Arno River, The Palazzo Vecchio........ Florence deserves at least a visit.
