JK Place (Florence)
A happy landing, a refuge by choice, environment here means protected space, suspended from the chaotic flow of time.
One of the principal reasons for the success of Italy’s ever flourishing tourist industry is the wealth of artistic masterpieces to be found within the walls of the city of Florence. Throughout the year, Florence welcomes thousands of tourists each day, visitors who not only crowd the main streets but also the tiny, less famous, paths and alleyways in search of one of the city’s many works of art. Modern day pilgrims eager to have seen the Duomo, Michelangelo's "David", the Botticelli’s paintings and so on in a list almost too long to recount. As well as being drawn to Florence by its museums full of the finest mediaeval and renaissance figurative art, visitors come to roam through the city of Dante, Boccaccio and Petrarca; poetry and prose which were to lay the foundations of modern day Italian language. Visitors flock to Florence to enjoy a romantic stroll across Ponte Vecchio and along the banks of the Arno river. Others come to pay their respects to the great figures of the past buried in the church of Santa Croce, from Macchiavelli to Foscolo, from Marconi to Galileo.
Florence, unique city of art which today, as in the past, manages to retain a human dimension, examples of which can be found in the courtesy and good humour of the colourful markets of Piazza S.Spirito and surrounding S. Lorenzo, as in the small trattorie where tourists sit side by side the locals. Florence, a much loved city, so well known, yet still to be discovered.
