Florence post Covid

Crazy months we are experiencing now convinced me that it's better to learn about the historical events from the books rather than living them.

The current crisis deeply changed Florence and has a profound impact on our lives.

We might say that the Coronavirus exposed all the fragilities and rendered tangible the critical situation of the Italian historical cities. Many of the problems we are now facing existed before, but were invisibile, covered by the blanket of well-oiled economical machine.

Italian historical cities, such as Florence, Rome or Venice need inhabitants, now more than ever. People need to return to live these unique places and tourism has to become more sustainable.

This is why I promote and I will promote slow tourism. I will encourage everybody to visit Tuscany without rush, engaging in dialogue with its history and art during my private expert-led tours in Florence.

Be respectful! Travel slowly!
