FIRENZE
march 2013
Welcome to Florence, welcome home.
I wish you a pleasant stay in the city of the lily which belongs to all of us,
because it is world’s heritage. Love it and live it.
Our aim is to find new spaces for beauty and to make Florence a more
vital and lively city. Everyday in Florence’s squares, theatres and
museums many events are taking place to be shared among those who
were born in Florence and those who are Florentine only for few days.
I hope that you can enjoy all this and that you wish to come back here.
You will always be welcome. If you want me to know what your
impressions are, please write to sindaco@comune.fi.it
