What's New?

Goings On, of course - updated every time we hear of something new.

Liberty: The Italian equivalent of the Belle Epoque. There isn't much in Florence but it is quite pretty.

Culture:

When God Lived at Ife: A spectacular collection of Nigerian terracottas and bronzes. Until July 3 2005.
From Gothic to Renaissance: Ghiberti won the competition to do the Baptistery doors. So Brunelleschi changed the world of art.

Food & Wine:

Cognac: It's the perfect way to close an elegant meal, and also an excellent base for mixed drinks.
Il Vino Nobile: Montepulciano's Noble Red Wine

Trails:

Trekking Urbano: Siena has organized several beautiful day hikes through the prettier and less known parts of town. A fascinating concept that one could also export elsewhere.
A Tu per Tu con il Grande Blu: Genova's Acquarium is the largest in Europe.
The Artisan's Quarter: An idea of what you'll find as you explore Florence's Oltrarno.
Lucca: A quick overiview of Tuscany's least-known jewel.
