The receptionist at Antica Torre Tornabuoni suggested a drink on the roof terrace. So we took the lift to the top of this 13th Century stone tower and… wow! There’s not one heart-stopping view but two. On one side the city skyline dominated by the Duomo, on the other the river Arno.

Have you ever noticed the statue of Dante Alighieri next to Santa Croce? 🏛️
Although Dante is not buried here—he died in Ravenna—this church, the resting place of many of Florence’s greatest figures like Michelangelo and Galileo, wanted to honor him as one of the city’s most beloved sons.
The statue stands proudly as a symbol of Florence’s rich literary and cultural heritage, reminding us of the enduring impact of The Divine Comedy and the city that inspired it.
Next time you pass by, take a moment to admire the details and feel the spirit of Dante watching over the square!

Discovered in Rome in 1506, the Laocoön Group shook the art world. A dramatic scene of the Trojan priest and his sons crushed by sea serpents, it became one of the most admired sculptures of antiquity.
Florence, too, holds its own connection: Baccio Bandinelli’s marble copy, created for the Medici, still stands proudly in the Uffizi. A Renaissance tribute to an ancient masterpiece. ✨

Did you know that until 1857 Santa Croce’s façade was just a simple sandstone covering? ⛪✨
On August 22nd, 1857, Pope Pius IX and Grand Duke Leopold II inaugurated the construction site for the new façade, designed by architect Niccolò Matas.
The transformation was extraordinary: from three plain almond-shaped portals to a neo-Gothic masterpiece adorned with luminous polychrome marbles—the same façade that enchants us today.
Only one element has remained unchanged since the late 15th century: the great circular stained-glass window that still shines at the heart of the basilica. 🌟
And you, which version would you prefer? The sober sandstone or the elegance of marble? Tell us in the comments below 👇
