I found a fabulous website on Florence that I wanted to share. You can read all about the art and history of Florence in the 15th C. Not to mention there are links to websites where you can purchase a luxury Tuscan Villa...nothing says "Thanks for sending me to Europe, Mom and Dad!" like a villa in Tuscany, so start saving those pennies!
Be sure to check it out: The 15th C. and the Florence Renaissance
I also started to keep a running list of suggested movies (see column on the right) that feature the cities which we will be visiting. You may click on the links for each to get a synopsis of the movie, as well as ratings, cast list, etc. If you cannot find the movie and have a strong interest in seeing it, I do own most of these films - just ask and I'd be happy to loan it to you. Some of these films are in French or Italian, but do have subtitles. Some are historic or cultural in nature, others are fluff but offer a great view of the city. With that said, please forgive "The Lizzie McGuire" movie being on the list...even though it's clearly fluff, it does a fantastic job showing many of the sights of Rome. If you know of a movie that I missed, please let me know. I will keep adding movies as I think of them or as they are suggested. I would also be happy to offer my personal recommendations upon request!
Until then..ciao/au revoir!
