The Streets of Florence

Author: Marianna Guerrieri

Program: CIS Summer in Florence

There are many hidden gems within the streets of Florence.  There are many different open markets throughout all of the city, and when you happen upon one, you know you will find something great.  Fresh pasta, Italian clothing, and fresh fruit and flowers.  The locals are extremely helpful and you can always make a deal.  There is so much variety and uniqueness in these markets; they are a great way to see the locals and find out what they have to offer.

Florence – History in Architecture

Author: Marianna Guerrieri

Program: Summer in Florence

Italy is know for its historic buildings that are admired all over the world.  These buildings have been modified to fit the needs of the current population and residents, but the look and history is still the same. I captured a few ways that the architecture has changed a little for the new residents, such as flowers, but also the street art that has been added. Some is harmless while most of it destroys the historical look of the building. While I admire some of these artistic releases, it is very sad that it had to be on these beautiful buildings, but just as well interesting how the buildings can remain intact and still function well for the residents.
