Florence, birthplace of the western world, is our destination in August. We'll see and learn about all the sites associated with the city’s two most famous names - Michelangelo and the Medici. On our tour is "Il Duomo" the Florence cathedral made famous by its distinctive Brunelleschi dome. We'll also visit a few of the Medici Palaces as well as Michelangelo's sculptures. Bring your checkbook along for our visit to the Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge that doubles as one of the world's most famous shopping spots. Veering off the Florence path, we'll travel to Pisa to see its "Tipsy" Tower as well as its Cathedral and Baptistry, and then to Lucca, the home of Puccini. So come join us. No reservation is required and refreshments will be served.
