Florence & Milan

Form Rome we took the high speed train to Florence , the birthplace of the Renaissance and   where the masters like Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci were born. The Tuscany area of Italy is very beautiful , no wonder these and other masters from this area were inspired to do amazing works of art.
The Duomo Florence's amazing cathedral is a central and important figure of the city, the different galleries and museums , as well as the different Medici Palaces and churches are a reminder of times gone by when art and culture reigned supreme in this city. You cannot visit Florence , and not see Michaelangelo's amazing sculpture of David , an incredible piece of work .






Milan 

A very elegant and well organised city , it was amazing to see the Italian Alps from the city . It was also very beautiful , particularly the Milan Cathedral and the Royal Palace.





Next stop is Paris the city of lights !
