Why Florence? And, "Why Florence again and again?" people ask me. This blog will attempt to explore that question. Along the way I hope to share how I stay connected to my adopted city when I'm not there. Ideally, I would be in Tuscany every spring, every fall.

Another song that reminds me of Florence . . .
. . . is "O mio babbino, caro," which Brightman sings beautifully. This soprano aria is from the opera "Gianni Schicchi," written by Giacomo Puccini in 1918. The setting is 14th century Florence, and when the soprano sings of buying a ring in Porta Rossa or throwing herself off the Ponte Vecchio, I can see those beautiful settings in my mind's eye.
