Florence is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany,renowned for helping usher in the Renaissance. It's a city of ghosts - the roads seemingly stretch across the Arno River and into the 15th century. During the summer the extensive masonry raises the temperature within city limits a good five degrees, while in the winter evening the afternoon sky is thick, moist and threatening.
