In Italy

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”  — Elliott Erwitt

 

Nestled in the heart of Italy, Florence and the broader Tuscany region embody a cultural tapestry woven from centuries of history, art, cuisine, and a deep appreciation for the finer aspects of life. This enchanting part of the world has played a pivotal role in shaping the essence of Italian culture.

​

Florence, renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance, stands as a living museum of artistic brilliance. The artistry of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli breathes life into the city's streets, museums, and churches, offering an immersive journey through the evolution of art. The scenic landscapes of Tuscany, with its rolling hills and cypress-lined avenues, provide a picturesque backdrop to the regions cultural identity. Festivals such as the Palio di Siena, a historic horse race held in Siena's Piazza del Campo, capture the essence of medieval pageantry.

The culture of Florence and Tuscany is a testament to the enduring allure of Italy. It is a place where the past and the present converge seamlessly, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and vibrant.
