Florence photo diary

Beautiful little streets in Oltrarno // A view of the Pitti Palace from the Boboli gardens // Images from the Francis Bacon exhibition at the Palazzo Strossi // The courtyard at the Bargello museum // Love graffiti on the Ponte Vecchio // Modernist sculpture at the Marino Marini museum // Casual square sculptures at the Piazza della Santissima Annunziata // Jam-packed little bookstores right near the Duomo // Peace and quiet at the cloisters at Santa Maria Novell // Top top top!

"Though Time restore me to my home, 

I ne'er shall bend mine eyes on thee: 

On thee, in whom at once conspire 

All charms which heedless hearts can move, 

Whom but to see is to admire, 

And, oh ! forgive the word --- to love."

Lord Byron, "To Florence"
