The next stop in C-95’s Italian and Spanish adventure was nestled in the mountains of Tuscany:  FLORENCE!!!  This city was built and supported by the Romans because it was a fertile area along the trade routes to the Alps.  The basilica was gigantic and we loved strolling through the Roman plazas and seeing the impressive Classical architecture and sculptures.
