The power of art and the vitality of the culture of Florence, from distant times, have such an energy as to expand with force almost throughout Tuscany. There is one area in particular that shows signs of that thriving city and it is the Florentine area, a territory that preserves marvelous Medici villas, a UNESCO heritage site, unique castles, abbeys, enchanted woods, delightful hills and precious museums. It is no coincidence that the Renaissance ring passes through these lands, an embrace around Florence that welcomes different locations, an itinerary to be covered on foot or by bicycle through artfully made landscapes.

The capital is notoriously a treasure trove of priceless treasures, which are not exhausted in the majestic Renaissance works, but can be breathed in all the museum spaces, in the gardens, in the small squares, in the contemporary art exhibitions and in the numerous festivals which throughout the year animate the city. Diving into the Uffizi and the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo is one of the most beautiful experiences to have if you are an art lover and a walk in the Boboli Gardens is a continuous discovery, among fountains, sculptures and tree-lined avenues.

On the trail of the grandiose legacies of the past, on this circular journey, it is impossible not to pass through Vaglia and its Medici Park of Pratolino (one of the most beautiful English gardens in Tuscany), as well as through Lastra a Signa, where Villa Bellosguardo and the museum dedicated to Enrico Caruso. Also visit Figline and Incisa, an area that has fascinated artists and poets and finally don't forget Calenzano and Pontassieve.

This is also a territory of a nature that perfectly knows how to coexist with the works of man. Destination for those who love peace and rest is certainly Vallombrosa, the woods of Reggello destination for all Florentines looking for refreshment in the summer season. The centuries-old trees of this forest take turns to welcome, after a pleasant walk, the sumptuous and well-known Abbey. Equally to be appreciated are the hilly landscapes of Rufina, a land of vineyards; the hill of Fiesole, which, just above Florence, preserves a magnificent theater from the Roman era; or of Londa, with its lake in the greenery.

The skilled artisan hands donate terracotta treasures to Impruneta and weave elegant straw hats in Signa. Of Florentine craftsmanship, in general, the whole world knows: leather goods, gold, wood are shaped with exciting perfection

  Enjoy Gelato At The Florence Ice-Cream Festival

Gelato is a staple of most people's idea of Italy. One imagines children eating it while dashing around historic old piazzas and couples sharing some while walking pretty strands. It is deeply entwined with Italian culture and first appeared during banquets at the Medici court in Florence. It is said that Bernardo Buontalenti invented the ice cream for the court of Catherine de’ Medici in 1565. With a cold cream made from a base of milk, honey, and egg yolks with a splash of wine and aromatized with bergamot, lemons and oranges he wowed guests and the rest, as they say, is history.

Florence remains a great place to get gelato to this day with famous shops such as Edouardo's and Perche No! being musts. The Gelato Festival began in Florence last month and continues to travel around Italy, adding to why ice-cream lovers should find a holiday rental in Florence or in Italy and follow the delicious festival on its tour of the country this year!

  The Mummy Hiding In A Florentine Church

Mummies are probably not the first thing that comes to mind or that you associate with Florence, however, there is one lying on full view in one of her churches.

Resting in a glass coffin in the Dominican Church of San Marco in Florence is the 550 year-old mummified relic of St. Antoninus, dressed in his ornate archbishop’s garb.

He accepted the title but continued to live as a monk and only owned some simple furniture and a mule.

Once you have found a luxury villa in Florence and are exploring her churches and architectural gems, make sure to find time to stop by San Marco and learn about this fascinating man and both his life and death.

  Divine Beauty From Van Gogh To Chagall & Fontana Exhibition

If you have found the perfect luxury villa in Florence and are spending time in that great city, you will never want for art to see or exhibitions to check out.

Yet, the exhibition at the Palazzo Strozzi, entitled, “Divine Beauty from Van Gogh to Chagall and Fontana” highlights modern sacred art from the middle of the 19th to 20th centuries.
