Florence is a living painting, where every street seems to tell a piece of the Renaissance. Walking through its squares and bridges, it’s impossible not to feel small in front of the grandeur of the Duomo or the quiet beauty of the Arno at sunset. But what struck me the most was the contrast between the city’s vibrancy and the calm of Tuscany’s famous green countryside, which I was lucky enough to visit. Among rolling hills and endless vineyards, I discovered a different side of Tuscany, where time seems to stand still. Florence and its countryside: a perfect embrace of art and nature.
