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.

By night, the Basilica of San Lorenzo stands in quiet majesty — the first cathedral of Florence and one of Brunelleschi’s masterpieces.
Its raw stone façade, never completed, becomes a symbol of beauty in imperfection 💜

📅 October 7, 1961 — the day Spring resurfaced from the Arno.
During World War II, Ponte Santa Trinita — right beside Antica Torre Tornabuoni — was blown up by retreating German troops.
The bridge’s elegant statues representing the Four Seasons fell into the river, shattering with the arches.
Years later, after the bridge’s reconstruction in 1958, Spring by Pietro Francavilla was still missing her head.
A local salesman, Giuseppe Fantacci, turned the search into a worldwide treasure hunt — offering a $3,000 reward from the Parker pen company to anyone who could find it.
Finally, on October 7, 1961, a renaiolo (river sand digger) discovered the lost head buried in the riverbed — 17 years after the destruction. 🌸
Today, she smiles again on Ponte Santa Trinita, watching over the Arno and our beloved Florence ❤️

🏠🔴⚫ Ever noticed that in Florence some street numbers are red while others are black?
It’s not random at all!
Here, black numbers indicate residential buildings, while red numbers mark businesses, shops, or offices.
So if you’re looking for a restaurant at “Via Roma 12R,” make sure you don’t stop at number 12 in black — the “R” stands for rosso (red)! 🇮🇹

Looking up in Piazza della Signoria ⛲️✨
From this angle, Palazzo Vecchio towers above while Perseus with the Head of Medusa guards the square—an eternal dialogue between power, myth, and Renaissance genius.
