TONY NUCCIO IN EUROPE - Pictures of Florence, Italy

December 21-23, 2001: Florence, Italy

Florence, Always A Favorite!
Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Museo Archeologico, Accademia, and Uffizi.

Florence is always a great place to visit with a large amount of historical sites to see and many things to do. There were hardly many tourist but I can imagine how flooded the city can get during the summer, it must be hell. I experienced most of the typical tourist attractions and really enjoyed the time spent in the city. During this portion of the trip me and Sarah decided to spend time to ourselves and at the end of Florence both understood that we needed to venture on our own. Florence offers beauty, great food, art, and its definitely a place everyone should see.

In Ostello Monaco I met a cool Australian kid, Sime. Australians seem to be all over Europe just traveling for years at a time. This one was on a 2 month journey of just Italy.

Gallerie dell'Accademia Very Impressing. Michelangelo's David. I know the picture is poor, but so was the lighting.	Gallerie dell'Accademia	Inside the Museo Archeologico in Florence.
