The 2010 edition of Piccoli Grandi Musei is offering a five-stage itinerary that will take you beyond the “gates of Florence”: Villa Corsini di Castello, Villa Medicea della Petraia, the gardens of the Villa Medicea di Castello, the Montagnola Etruscan tomb and the Museo Richard-Ginori in Sesto Fiorentino – plus the Palazzo Medici Riccardi here in town.
Every year, the people of Monticchiello, a town in the Province of Siena, create, produce and perform a show – it is a unique, regional event and the only one of its kind in Italy. Everyone participates in the show that is also known as autodramma and people flock from all over the country to see it.
This is one of the most delightful summer programs: a series of concerts and shows staged in the magnificent Roman amphitheater in Fiesole. I strongly recommend that you go up there to enjoy the incredible view of Florence and fine music against a background of cypress trees and moonlight.

It is summer, finally the real one with the thermometer going way over the 30°c constantly throughout the day.
One simple remedy to enjoy the heat of this season is to go for an Gelato-crawl in town.
It is a great way to discover the city… “of course” like a true florentine. So let’s begin.
A Florentine summer. The next few months offer a unique series of social-cultural-artistic events, from breakfast to long after dinner the city has myriad of opportunities to experience the magic of its days and enchanting summer nights.
It’s not the Lakers against the Celtics.
But just the same, it’s major basketball for Florence: the Italy team is back in town after 13 years
