VENUE & INFORMATION
FLORENCE
|
Florence is a city that has always welcomed and astounded its guests. The city is capable of offering historic venues and important places for ‘meetings’. This is a role that Florence plays daily through the thousands of people who come here for cultural reasons or for work. The city actually succeeds in playing a multiplicity of roles each day: history, art, culture and traditions. Florence with its monuments, the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademy Gallery with the statue of David, the Giotto Tower and all its surroundings lives of international fame as an art city, the worldwide interest in its artistic heritage and its cultural traditions, its geographic position, the famous ‘green’ region of Tuscany. |
