We're back in teeming Florence after two days in the countryside. We walked the City, with Arthur finding his old apartment on a small, crooked street. We also found a fountain designed by Renaissance architect, Guilio Parigi, whom Arturo "discovered" for his Ph.D. We stopped for espresso at the Uffizi coffee shop and I snapped this pix there. Note the fabulous detail. Meanwhile, at the Circolo Unione, our headquarters, the Marchese continues his gracious hospitality and we enjoy lunch with him before boarding a fast train back to Rome.
