Florence Italy | May 2026

Florence Italy charms one as much as any wild field of flowers ever has, the medieval moniker "Cradle of the Renaissance" is well earned even in these frenetic days of modernity. From Medici to da Vinci to Michelangelo, from Chanel to Gucci to the jewelry shops of the Ponte Vecchio, from lunch at "The Società Canottieri Firenze", a private rowing club founded in 1886 nestled along the river Arno, to the the tippy top of Brunelleschi's Dome, Florence is marvel, magician, and masterpiece, aka, the father, son, and the holy spirit!
