Springtime in Firenzi

Taking a short break from meetings in London, I visited the beautiful city of Florence. The Piazzale Michelangelo, in the Oltrarno district of the city, features an incredible panoramic view of the city. You can see the Duomo, aka the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, a vast Gothic structure with the Renaissance dome added later. To the left is the Campanile and over the Arno River is the city's most well known bridge, Ponte Vecchio, featuring houses and many jewelry stores. Maybe I'll pick up some presents for the office…
