The secret routes of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence

The Palace of the Signoria, better known as Palazzo Vecchio (Old), has been for over 700 years, the symbol of civil authority of the city of Florence. Built in 1322, it was conceived as a fortress to keep the members of the City Council safe of the frequent revolts of the period. That is why the top of its tower, which houses the bell, was used to convoke and warn the Florentines of any danger. During the sixteenth century, Cosimo I chose it as ducal palace and it was home to the Medici. Much of its present appearance is due to major restructuring and redecoration of the interiors, which were made at the request of the king. Today, Palazzo Vecchio is Florence’s City hall and a museum with an attractive art collection. Museum staff organizes guided visits to traditional and secret passages. Palazzo Vecchio has hidden places; that is why, there is an alternative itinerary for small groups (maximum 12 people) showing its hiding areas. This hour-and-a-half tour begins in the Hall of the Cinquecento, where the expert guide tells the story of the Florentine Republic and the reign of the Medici. From there, we go through a secret door leading to the private rooms of Cosimo I and his son Francesco I. Francesco´s study, known as the study of wonders, as it served to keep from prying eyes, the most valuable pieces in his collection. Giorgio Vasari was commissioned to devise it as an iconographic program and as an inventory of items collected. Thus, the paintings speak of the things in the studio and the place. More than...

Valentine’s Day in Florence

The old love stories no longer exist. If you´re surprised with the fact that people get divorced so often and couples don’t stay together for a long time, perhaps you are a romantic who still believe in love. There are so many stories enmeshed around the word love since the beginning of mankind. Due to their implications and consequences, it is difficult to know if love is just another great invention of culture to “formalize” the sexual act, as a transcendent event that, at the end of the day, is nothing more than an inherent function of the body and is meant be done only to perpetuate the human specie. Love as a barrier, as an improvement, as hope, as a God, as an enemy, as a tragedy, as a war. Love has so many ways of being seen that we would need many pages to write an elaborated presentation of all forms that love often have in our culture. The truth is that every 14th of February, in various parts of the western world, we celebrate the day of love; we present roses and chocolates, to recall the union of two individuals. However, Valentine´s Day is just another commercial invention to empty our pockets, buying flowers, gifts, chocolates, balloons, and fetish, all of this in a pretty ridiculous time of the year. If you did not have enough with Christmas, Valentine´s Day is coming to get you, so be prepared to spend. Valentine´s Day, it is still another example of the superficiality of some emotions, which are sold to the world in developed packages. Unfortunately, the idea of...
