Florence, Tuscany – The Italian Athens

Florence is located in the course of a river of Arno in the Italian region Tuscany of which it is the capital. The visitors of a pension or a hotel of Florence can state themselves that they have spent the night in the so-called „Italian Athens“ what should point to the cultural meaning of the town. As before Turin, Florence became the capital of united Italy in 1865.

Here the first parliament of the still young state met. Whole 6 years this dignity was entailed on Florence until the seat of the parliament was moved to Rome. A walk through the Old Town of Florence is something quite special.
