Piazzale Michelangelo

My roommate, Dom and I sat at the top of Piazzale Michelangelo on one of our last evenings in Florence. From there, you can see the city in its entirety. Over a couple of bottles of Morretti, we watched the sun go down on Florence. As we looked at the skyline of the city, we realized just how much walking we’ve been doing in the last month. On a map, it doesn’t look like much, but when you see everything at a distance, you realize how far apart things are.

I’ve fallen in love with every view I have gotten of Florence. From the Piazzale Michelangelo, it seems that each building – Santa Croce, Duomo, Santa Maria Novella – they all stand like monuments.
